Threads in hermes mails
by Vincent Untz 14 May '11

14 May '11

Hey, I love hermes mails, but I would love them even more if the mails for one request where all grouped in a thread. So here's my completely untested attempt for this (and I'm not sure I'm still fluent in perl, so there might be some stupid errors). Is there any way to easily test this kind of things? Cheers, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés.

openSUSE versioning scheme
by Pavol Rusnak 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

Hi! This has been discussed somehow but without any conclusion. Current versioning scheme is confusing and does not make sense (now that we are not syncing releases with SLE). If we are willing to change this we should come up with some proposals and let the community decide. Ideas? I came up with this one: name the next release openSUSE 12 (not 12.0) and continue normally (13, 14). Also make the codenames (present in /etc/issue atm) more prominent and also market them (like openSUSE 12 Moss). -- Best Regards / S pozdravom, Pavol RUSNAK SUSE LINUX, s.r.o openSUSE Boosters Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xA6917144 19000 Praha 9 prusnak[at]opensuse.org Czech Republic -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Week reports 2010#23-25

I'm late, I'm late... Week 23: + had a good chat with Klaas + went to LinuxTag. It was great, and many things happened there. I pushed everything to http://www.vuntz.net/journal/post/2010/06/30/LinuxTag-2010%3A-Attack-of-the…! + I was happy to come back home with some Geeko. My life is much better now. Week 24: + the main focus was to fix last-minute bugs for 11.3, so I worked on a few of them and help the community work on more + I managed to take a full day to fix the applications menu structure in GNOME, only to realize afterwards that it was too late for RC1. Oh well, it will be in Factory after 11.3 is out. + worked with upstream F-Spot people a bit, and created a project for upstream in the build service: GNOME:Apps:F-Spot. The goal is to let them easily ship packages for their stable and unstable branches, ideally for more than just openSUSE. If anybody wants to help make the packages build for distros != openSUSE, help is welcome. + participated in the strategy discussion Week 25: + kept fixing bugs for 11.3 + had a meeting and many mails exchange to prepare the Novell/openSUSE presence at GUADEC, and shared the knowledge with other people going there. We should have a SUSE Studio Kiosk there, but it's much more complicated than I thought to make this happen... + standup meeting during France's last game ;-) + released GNOME 2.30.2, our last 2.30.x release. This was relatively smooth, which is good since it's a stable release. + hacked some upstream code to get it more 3.0-ready. We're trying to move a lot of code to GTK+ 3, but there's some nasty code in gnome-panel which makes things difficult. Also started thinking about how this will be fun once we start getting GTK+ 3 in openSUSE... + participated in my last GNOME Foundation Board meeting as a board member, and prepared the transition with the new board. I'll still be active there until GUADEC to make sure the transition is smooth (new board officially starts on July 1st, but we want to have a transition until the face-to-face meeting at GUADEC) - posted the GNOME Speaker Guidelines, among other board-related activities: http://live.gnome.org/CodeOfConduct/SpeakerGuidelines + participated in the strategy discussion What has been blocking/annoying me: + too many important bugs are reported after RC1. This is not normal. My guess is that people are waiting for RC1 to test openSUSE, but it's much too late and it leaves no time to fix bugs. I don't know how we can change this, though :/ What I will work on this week: + GNOME 2.31.4 + last fixes for 11.3 + look at the maintenance team + look if I have everything needed to do a screencast about GNOME Shell to demo that once 11.3 is out Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

[GREEN] - various 11.3 finishing touches (translation updates, artwork minor fixes, etc.) - KDE repo reorganization (http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/RepositoryRenaming) is almost sorted out, more clear structure and purpose, community members will get more involved with maintaing the repos (well, that's at least the plan) - had a bit too much of healthy movement that made movement or even just sitting quite challenging by the end of the week :-/ [NEXT WEEK] - prepare everything for Akademy and get there -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

[amber] - if klaas is on vacation, there is no one left I can win against ;( [green] - hackweek: worked on crashdb.opensuse.org/apport, webui support for lnussel's project (see lizard.oo and [1]) for details), random distribution support and obs 2.0 screen cast - various bug fixes for build service - updated list of community repos according to 11.2 stats - took a lot of time and energy to stay out of opensuse-project discussion as much as I could - released RC1, prepped the distribution for the final release, will publish RC2 this week if everything goes well - watched as many matches as I could - added 11.3 to http://en.opensuse.org/Statistics, as usual the live cd testing is much higher than with the finals, but 6793 installations a week are not bad for RC1 I assume - fun discussions about kde 4.4.4 - it seems I'm still expert in the "good & bad cop in one person" game. - clean up of the patterns not to reference dropped packages. - maintained the list of obsoleted packages and updated update test cases (see http://w3.suse.de/~coolo/Paketlisten/lastlog) - helped _javier to get kde-unstable-live to build against factory - discussed with mls what we need in the backend to support a dash board. Right now the O:F status is a good start, but takes too long to calculate, so it's precached by a script. Not acceptable for user's dashboard. - reworked the api and webui test suite to avoid mocks, that made testing harder. Now you can test almost everything in the test suite - research in ruby coverage (http://w3.suse.de/~coolo/coverage/ for api) - discussed with Lars how to help Bernhard to create automated QA videos - brought pullin-fluendo back to life [1] http://preview.tinyurl.com/2ch2sa5 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org
