In a commercial sense our opensuse beta release is alpha and release is beta. In this occasion I will load a non production test PC that I have with 12.1. At some time in the future I think all users need to vote on our product life-cycle and question the date driven times which dictate release of a new version. I think we waste far too many man hours just tooling up for release when these could be spent on quality. I think it would be better to have Service Pack Releases. Now on topic we have no facility that forms the delivery method of all Yast apps that have any type of notification. We can set up Apparmour notifications even though the email address field will accept anything and I mean anything...Its is a screen shot example I have given you In fact every screen shot I have given you shows the horrendous errors in almost of of Apparmour and sometime I think it best to remove the whole Apparmour code until it both works and its horrendous errors are corrected! - I know that's not going to happen. On the topic of notifications we see in the installation option 'receive system mail - (to the user) ' this can only be received if we set up system mail. The same goes for apparmour, if it indeed does anything at all in its notifications - I think it time to abandon system mail use, leave the functionality but offer contemporary SMTP/POP/SSL. We could have a notifications heading in Yast for which all notification of ANY apps that has notification fields, like apparmour would use as the global default. I think we must provide contemporary email handling well away from system email config that almost no one knows/or ever configures in their email client. As far as log files - OMG! I think we have to more to the syslog conventions of priority and its liberal message format; disposal to an IP on UDP514 (default), where the can be monitored in realtime. Yes I know its a very small addition to the syslog-ng fconfig file. Keep the log files and log-rotate by all means, but again offer a default notifications list of IP's the default of UDP514 etc but put the log entries into Industry standards! This too could set nicely in the same notifications subset in Yast as well as SMTP/SSL disposal as in the above. I am not going to waist time writing up a feature request for Yast, this could be far easily driven and done inhouse. I'll play with 12.1 for you mate Scott - Sorry for the Epistle:-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
