openSUSE Buildservice UAP
by Klaas Freitag 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Hi, today, I am writing to you guys wearing my green openSUSE hat, being an openSUSE Booster [1] helping to spread the word about openSUSE. But don't shouder ;-) I like to talk about one of our latest ideas, the UAP, which is short for "Upstream Attraction Program" for the Open Build Service [2]. It is about making the Open Build Service (OBS) more interesting for projects like this :-) You might have heard that the Open Build Service is able to build binary packages for a whole bunch of Linux distributions such as Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE and others from a single source. In addition to that, there is a whole infrastructure to also host the binaries for user download, including a decent mirroring system. We thought that this can be a benefit for upstream project such as KMyMoney. We want to develop more infrastructure within OBS in the direction that it's really easy for projects like yours to use the OBS. One idea would be for example to provide Javascript- or html snippets to embed into the projects website to display the list of downloadable packages. With this mail, we kindly like to ask the KMyMoney developer commuinty if you want to be our "early adoptor" and help us to make the OBS even more useful. That would mean that at least one of you works with us, the openSUSE Boosters, to get binary packages of KMyMoney in the OBS and promote it on your projects site. During this we gather experiences together what is important and what not, what are good tools, needed documentation and stuff. The most important things on KMyMoneys side would be the will to try that out and the time and enthusiasm to communicate with us and help us to develop the "right things" in the OBS to attract more upstream projects. Well, yes, and a bit experience in packaging would also be helpful ;-) It's needless to say that this action is free of cost and does not bind you to anything in openSUSE or SUSE in any way. What do you think? regards, Klaas [1] http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Boosters [2] http://openbuildservice.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

OT - Need private email to openSUSE security manager
by Tony Su 24 Jul '11

24 Jul '11

Although I have emails to various people for various topics, I'm surprised that I don't have a private address to someone who is authoritatively responsible for security. I want to report a critical security issue that seems to affect all versions of openSUSE <privately> to someone who is in a position to do something about it. Thx, Tony -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Repositories for UAP
by Klaas Freitag 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Hi, we briefly discussed in the channel which Repos we should set up for UAP applications. Now it seems the decision was made: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2011/07/19/new-namespace-for-kde-apps- maintained-by-upstream/ Is that a good solution? I thought it wouldn't have had to be KDE specific, as users probably do not care much...

Membership Applications in connect.o.o
by Sascha Manns 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Hello Mates, the new Interface for working in the Membership Requests are good. I like it. But one Question. In retro it was possible to leave short messages like: "Found 256 Bugzilla, 23 Forumsentries,...". In connect we can place a "Reason". But it looks like, that we can't see the reasons from others. It would be great, because if i have checked Bugzilla another don't want to check it. Maybe we can integrate something like this?

misformatted news
by Marcus Moeller 12 Jul '11

12 Jul '11

Hi all. we still got the oS Weekly News misformatted, e.g.: http://news.opensuse.org/2011/07/10/opensuse-weekly-news-issue-183-is-out/ which looks quite ugly. First of all I would like to know if anyone is working on that? What is the reason that the layout breaks on the own? The rest of the posts look fine, so far. It would be great to get this fixed. If it's a simple CSS issue, I guess I could help.
