Jiri,
O.T
I really don't normally like testing opensuse beta software.
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:-)
