Hi,

Can somebody give me hints about the process to include a project into the official opensuse distribution (or even redirect me to a wiki page?). My project is currently in the buildservice repository, but as a home project.

Copying opensuse-pkg since I'm not sure which list is the most appropriate.

Add it to the wishlist. ;)

Convince us to include it ;)

What package/project is it?

Thanks for your answer! Before implementing your 1st 2 points, let me answer your last question: It's the libtune package (http://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Aderbeyn). It is hosted by sourceforge (http://libtune.sourceforge.net/) where the documentation can be found. This is the description I have sent a couple of months ago on the opensuse-packaging mailing list. --- libtune (Tunables library) is an API that helps accessing the kernel tunables and system information in a "standard way". The actual pseudo-files that contain the tunables values are hidden to the developer, making any binary built on top of this API completely portable across kernel releases or across distro families. The libtune library provides the following features: 1) get the value of a tunable, either stored as a part of a pseudo-file or as a complete pseudo-file 2) set the value of a writable tunable 3) locate a tunable (in terms of the associated pseudo-file) 4) get a help string for a tunable libtune is different from sysctl in that: 1) there is no need to know where the underlying pseudo-file is located: the tunables are manipulated via key words rather than their actual file location. 2) it is possible to get or set a value that is a part of pseudo-file (eg it is possible to get or set semmns value that is part of /proc/sys/kernel/sem). Today, there is a limited set of supported kernel releases, distros, as well as a limited set of supported tunables. Support for new kernel releases, distros, families or tunables can easily be achieved thanks to a set of scripts that are delivered with the libtune API. --- Regards, Nadia --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
