[opensuse-announce] GNOME Team Meeting
by Andrew Wafaa 16 May '10

16 May '10

Ladies & Germs it has been far too long since the GNOME Team actually put their heads together and talked about what is going on in the garden. As such regular meetings are re-starting, but with a slight difference - it will be monthly on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 1400UTC, for localised times please see[0]. That means the next meeting will be held this Tuesday, 18th May 2010, in the garden (otherwise known as #opensuse-gnome on Freenode). The Agenda is pretty simple and can be added to on the wiki[1]. For those curious it will kind of follow the lines of: 1. openSUSE GNOME Status 1.1 Packaging 1.2 Bugs 1.3 Q & A 2. Upstream GNOME Status 2.1 What's New 2.2 Bugs 2.3 Q & A 3. General Q & A So please come buy the garden, pull up a chair and crack a cold one open. Join in the fun and add anything you need to the agenda. 0 - http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?day=18&month=5&year=20… 1 - http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Meetings/20100518 -- Andrew Wafaa IRC: FunkyPenguin.

[opensuse-announce] openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 6: The Dust Begins to Settle
by Andreas Jaeger 03 May '10

03 May '10

I'd like to share James Mason's announcement: http://news.opensuse.org/2010/05/03/opensuse-11-3-milestone-6-the-dust-begi… ----- Milestone 6 (of 7), a snapshot of the Factory “work in progress” build, leading up to openSUSE 11.3 release in July, is now available for download.

(Bug #596481) * Thinkpad scroll wheel emulation has been repaired. (Bug #597214) Installation * X11 server properly handles language preference specified in grub. (Bug #591048) * nm-applet.conf was moved to the NetworkManager package, instead of being in each NetworkManager frontend package. (Bug #476502) * NTP can now be configured during setup. (Bug #537859) * “Boot From Hard Disk” option on the DVD boot menu has been repaired. (Bug #597167) * perl-bootloader hdd detection has been altered to match the behavior of libstorage, resolving issues with incorrect grub configuration when installing to a drive other than the first detected (hd0,1). (Bug #597774) * sax2-tools has been added back to the LiveCD images resolving a YaST dependency issue in installation stage 2. (Bug #585432) * open-vm-tools are installed on LiveCDs to enable VMWare drivers. (Bug #591085) * Typos in start-ttys.conf (from upstart) were fixed.

(Bug #590348) * upgrade to openSSL 1.0.0. (Bug #592955) * yast2-printer now checks if a CUPS server is accessible. (Bug #595612) Development * A gcc segfault condition was identified and reported upstream.

(Bug #595197) * gnome-desktop-sharp2 has been updated to reference Gnome 2.30 on openSUSE 11.3; this resolves an issue with gnome-do not reading .desktop files. ([Bug #584612, commit message) * a dbus issue with couchdb was resolved; this was causing gwibber to crash. (Bug #592720) * pulseaudio had some dependency issues resolved.

(Bug #574650) Party (Planning) Time Now is a great time to start organizing 11.3 release parties; there’s no better way to enjoy the new release than with your fellow openSUSE users! If you, your LUG or openSUSE User Group are hosting one, go ahead and add it to this list at http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_11.3_Launch_Party_Locations Testing! Testing! Testing! As this is a milestone and not a final release, 11.3 M6 does contain bugs both known and unknown, but should not stand between courageous contributors and release testing. The following annoyances have already been reported: * gconf2-branding-openSUSE isn’t installed by default, which causes no default settings (e.g. Sonar theme isn’t used by default, two panels instead one-panel arrangement, etc…). Workaround: install gconf2-branding-openSUSE package. * nouveau video driver for Nvidia hardware has some issues detecting monitors via DDC. Bug #596740 – workaround: use nomodeset and configure monitor manually. * KDE System Monitor crashes when killing a process Bug #597156 * A number of issues have been encountered using KMS with Intel/nouveau/radeon drivers and specific hardware configurations. Workaround: use nomodeset boot flag to disable KMS. Please see http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_11.3_dev#openSUSE_11.3_Miles… for the current list. What are you waiting for? Grab the milestone release from http://software.opensuse.org/developer today! -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj(a){novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Now lxde fully supports trash, automount, gvfs, "menu-browsing" and much more. * lxsession: upgrade to 0.4.3 with d-bus support As this is a milestone release, 11.3 milestone 4 does contain bugs that we know about, but should not stand between courageous contributors and release testing. The known bugs include: * gwibber has been updated but depends on desktopcouch and that stack is not yet integrated into openSUSE.

[opensuse-announce] Number Two Always Tries Harder: openSUSE Milestone 2 released
by Henne Vogelsang 17 Feb '10

17 Feb '10

Friends all over the place, late last month we released the first milestone of openSUSE 11.3, now we follow up with the second. Milestone 2 is part of the milestones where we track new releases in the open source universe and test the building of our various distribution images with them. While milestone 1 introduced various pre-release versions of free and open source projects (KDE 4.4 RC1, OpenOffice 3.2 Beta4 or VirtualBox 3.1 beta 1) into our development distribution openSUSE Factory, this milestone is characterized by final releases of those projects. We are also preparing everything to switch to GCC 4.5.0 as the default compiler. Currently our staging version of Factory already builds with it and our compiler people document/fix the most serious issues, they aim at milestone 3 for the switch. To learn more about the benefits of GCC 4.5.0 check the Development Tools section below. As you can see, although we are steadily moving forward, there is still a lot to come! Go on to news.opensuse.org to read about the detailed changes that happened in the various areas. http://bit.ly/113_milestone_2 Have a lot of fun...

[opensuse-announce] openSUSE Build Service 1.7 got released
by Adrian Schröter 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

Today, the openSUSE Build Service team released the latest version of the openSUSE Build Service, a tool that provides software developers with the ability to create and release software for openSUSE, SUSE Linux Enterprise and other Linux distributions, including Fedora, Red Hat, Mandriva, Debian and Ubuntu. The openSUSE Build Service allows developers to create packages, software stacks or even a whole distribution as well as use and integrate them with other open source components. Key features of the 1.7 release include: * A new attribute system A flexible system that stores information related to projects or packages. This gives a good overview and enables teams or individuals to use the openSUSE Build Service as database for their information. * Faster build speeds The SAT Solver speeds up the dependency calculation by factor of 1,000X, which means a package change submitted to the build service starts building in seconds instead of minutes. * Customized branding For local instances of the openSUSE Build Service, this release offers the ability to add custom branding and the Web user interface (UI) now supports individual themes. * An openSUSE Build Service server appliance Built as hard disk image and live CD, this appliance allows users to run the system from a USB stick and just replace it with a new version on update without losing the data they have submitted to the server. * In addition to bug fixes, other improvements include a request system that now offers a review mechanism, improved status information (package build dependencies, repository status, etc.), and improved merge handling of sources for automated conflict resolution. For more information and to download openSUSE Build Service 1.7, go here: http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service For downloading the appliance, go here: http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/OBS-Appliance -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian(a)suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-announce] Its here! openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 1
by Henne Vogelsang 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

People of Earth. Its here! The first openSUSE 11.3 Milestone. This is the first step toward the next openSUSE release. The most important goal of this first milestone is to test the build interactions between newly added features in openSUSE Factory, also known as “get the snapshot to build”. It is in no way feature complete or ready for daily usage. There is no code freeze for any component yet, so many major changes are still to come. This 11.3 Milestone build will give you a first glimpse of the direction we are pushing the distribution. Read more on news.opensuse.org to learn about the major changes that happened since the release of openSUSE 11.2. http://bit.ly/113_milestone_1 Have a lot of fun...
