[opensuse-factory] Package grouping
by houghi 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

I just looked at http://en.opensuse.org/Patterns I don't see much going on there. Does this mean that this is the final proposal? I have added some, that I felt were missing. Even if they are not selected, I hope to keep the discussion going and we can't afford to get it wrong. The main thing I did was add some graphical enviroments (including CLI) and add office and games. The thing I miss most is 'normal' programs for the end-user. Also would it not be easier to use the current package … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] feature freeze dates for 10.2
by jdd 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

In order not to do again the mistakes made with the zen update and 10.1, I think we should have _two_ feature freeze dates... One for the _new things_ (patterns, Xorg 7...) and one for the _new releases_ of already used things (Kde, Gnome) I think the latter are already tested by they developpers when the first seems already in a very early stage. I'm disquieted by the "most annoying bugs" list and the _may be_ delayed Alpha 3. I personnally think that a stable distribution is better … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] gnome 2.14/5
by Richard Bown 10 Aug '06

Hi Can some point me in the direction of the rpms for gnome 2.14 or 2.15 if packaged. I need to install to check if a bug, already on bugzilla is a suse bug or a gnome bug. Other distros running gnome 2.14 do not exhibit the same bug. TIA Richard

[opensuse-factory] X.Org 7 for Factory
by Stefan Dirsch 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

Hi We currently are switching to X.Org 7 for Factory. This might result in package build failures. Some hints for packagers to adjust their packages: Changes in X.Org 7 (important for packagers) -------------------------------------------- - X.Org libs: /usr/X11R6/%_lib --> /usr/%_lib * sometimes you need to add '--x-libraries=/usr/%{_lib}' configure option (if available); background: use "-L $AC_PATH_X" with care - if prefix is /usr, $AC_PATH_X is empty. - X.Org executables: /… [View More]usr/X11R6/bin --> /usr/bin * adjust %files section accordingly when required, e.g. when package uses imake - if autobuild expansion errors for libX11, etc. arises: * either add an additional line '#!BuildIgnore: NX' or package 'xorg-x11-devel' to Buildrequires; Update: probably this problem will be resolved inside of autobuild - X.Org manual path: /usr/X11R6/man --> %_mandir * adjust %files section accordingly - Xserver SDK package: xorg-x11-sdk --> xorg-x11-server-sdk * adjust your BuildRequires - X.Org pixmaps: /usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps/ --> /usr/include/X11/pixmaps/ * adjust %files section accordingly - X.Org Xserver modules: /usr/X11R6/%{_lib}/modules --> /usr/%{_lib}/xorg/modules * adjust %files section accordingly - Mesa DRI drivers: /usr/X11R6/%{_lib}/modules/dri --> /usr/%{_lib}/dri * adjust %files section accordingly - XKeysymDB: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysmDB --> /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB * make sure $XKEYSYMDB is *not* set to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysmDB, but /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB instead - nls/ directory: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls --> /usr/share/X11/nls * only interesting for legacy apps - X.Org fonts: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts --> /usr/share/fonts * move fonts of other font packages as well? /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts will still be allowed ... - Xserver include files: /usr/X11R6/lib/Server/include --> /usr/include/xorg * adjust configure options or Imakefiles/Makefiles - xkb files: /etc/X11/xkb --> /usr/share/X11/xkb - termcap files: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc --> /usr/lib/X11/etc - /usr/lib/X11 is no longer a symlink to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11, but a real directory! - /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults --> /usr/share/X11/app-defaults * /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults is still read, but should we disallow the use of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults nevertheless in autobuild? Package changes: ---------------- xorg-x11 --> xorg-x11 +xorg-x11-fonts +xorg-x11-fonts-devel xorg-x11-Xnest +xorg-x11-Xprt +xorg-x11-Xvfb --> xorg-x11-server xorg-x11-Xvnc (not yet available - on my TODO list) xorg-x11-devel --> xorg-x11-devel +xorg-x11-lib<foo>-devel +xorg-x11-proto-devel +xorg-x11-util-devel +xorg-x11-xtrans-devel xorg-x11-doc --> xorg-x11-doc xorg-x11-driver-options (obsolete) xorg-x11-driver-video +xorg-x11-driver-video-nvidia --> xorg-x11-driver-video xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi +xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi +xorg-x11-fonts-cyrillic +xorg-x11-fonts-scalable +xorg-x11-fonts-syriac --> xorg-x11-fonts xorg-x11-libs --> xorg-x11-libs +xorg-x11-lib<foo> xorg-x11-man --> xorg-x11-devel +xorg-x11-lib<foo>-devel xorg-x11-sdk --> xorg-x11-server-sdk xorg-x11-server +xorg-x11-server-glx --> xorg-x11-server +xorg-x11-driver-input +xorg-x11-driver-video In most cases for building X11 apps it should be enough to add 'xorg-x11-devel' to BuildRequires (as before). If you need Xvfb add also 'xorg-x11-server'. And if you're building external input/video drivers add 'xorg-x11-server-sdk'.

Hi people, I don't know if this is the correct list. I'm working on a project related with SuSE Linux distribution and we need to achieve some development skills on SuSE.

[opensuse-factory] Xgl: larger that screen windows for OO.o and YaST in KDE

I use Xgl + compiz under KDE. Every version I had has this bug: OpenOffice.org windows start larger than the available screen area, and need to be resized. They also start directly in the next viewport, not in the active one. In the active one there's only a few pixels of the left frame of the window. Also, yast sw_single always starts the same way. I have used 10.1, 10.2alpha2, Xgl from the distribution and Xgl from Compiz-Quinn repository. Does this combination work right for … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Status of reiser4
by Marcel Hilzinger 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Reiser4 was dropped from 10.1. What about 10.2 As namesys has a lot of (non technical) problems with some members of the kernel-list, they need support from the community to get reiser4 really adopted. I think Suse should still be willing to support new stuff, not as Red Hat. Reiser4 is now quite stable (not mission critical, but stable). For 4.1beta the compression plugin will give reiser4 double speed with half diskspace. Even the support of xattr seems now to be possible. So I would … [View More]
