[opensuse-factory] Why is java 1.5 required by OpenOffice?
by Felix Möller 11 Nov '07

11 Nov '07

Hi, I am running latest factory but have to carry two Java runtimes with me as Eclipse requires Java 1.6. and OpenOffice thinks it needs Java 1.5 ... # rpm -q --requires OpenOffice_org | grep jre jre-32 ... This is only provided by 1.5 java ... # rpm -q --provides java-1_5_0-sun-1.5.0_update13-7 | grep jre jre-1.5.0-sun = 1.5.0_update13-7 jre-sun = 1.5.0_update13-7 jre-1.5.0 jre = 1.5.0 jre1.1.x jre1.2.x jre1.3.x jre1.4.x jre1.5.x jre-1.5.0-sun-32 = 1.5.0_update13-7 jre-sun-32 = 1.5.0_update13-7 jre-1.5.0-32 jre-32 = 1.5.0 java2-jre = 1.5.0_update13-7 ... and not by 1.6 java ... # rpm -q --provides java-1_6_0-sun-1.6.0.u3-8 | grep jre jre-1.6.0.u3.sr2-sun = 1.6.0.u3-8 jre-sun = 1.6.0.u3-8 jre-1.6.0.u3.sr2 jre = 1.6.0.u3.sr2 jre1.1.x jre1.2.x jre1.3.x jre1.4.x jre1.5.x jre1.6.x java2-jre = 1.6.0 So is this a bug? And should OpenOffice require something different or should java 1.6 provide jre-32 greetings Felix Möller --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Discussing problems with 10.3
by Volker Kuhlmann 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

Which list is meant for discussing problems with 10.3? opensuse@ is not the answer, and I've been told off several times here. Yesterday's kernel update only has deltas from GM to yesterday's and from GM to first update, but not from the first update to the latest, so those who keep their systems up to date are left out. Thanks, Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] What ever happened to javaws
by Sid Boyce 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

I tried using javaws the other day, but found only javawswrapper # rpm -qf /usr/bin/javawswrapper jpackage-utils-1.7.0-79 ###### x86_64. Is there a reason it's been excluded, like not available in 64-bit or should I raise a bug report? I think it's been missing from openSUSE for quite some time. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

[opensuse-factory] ppc buildservice
by Peter Czanik 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Hello, I installed the latest factory, and I quite enjoy it, especially the part of adding repositories from the build service easily. I got just one 'little' problem: on PPC all of these repositories are empty (OK, I could probably find some 'noarch' :-) ). Any news on this? Or still 'no public info' or 'in a few months'?

[opensuse-factory] mysql 5.1 rpms available in the buildservice
by Michal Marek 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Hi, http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/database:/mysql51/ hosts packages of mysql 5.1, currently at version 5.1.22-rc. Mind that these packages are experimental (both upstream code and the packaging is not final), so if anything breaks... I told you. OTOH, by testing these packages, you contribute to the quality of mysql packages in future openSUSE releases ;-) have fun, Michal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Factory not prominently enough featured on opensuse.org?
by Joerg Mayer 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Just a comment from Mr. LWN > Said grumpy editor has actively looked for an opensuse development > distribution a few times, with no luck. The folks who create > opensuse.org don't make the factory distribution easy to find - the > "latest development version" link does not go anywhere near it. I > suspect I'm not the only one who has come up empty-handed in this > search. Nonetheless, I clearly blew my research and apologize for any > resulting confusion. why he stated that there was no publicly available development version of openSUSE available. It's true that it is not that easy to find: When I went to opensuse.org, download, then the link "latest development version" points to 10.3RC1 A prominent link to factory might help to prevent this from happening too often? Maybe there are some other places where links to factory might be added (but I think it is properly referenced at the main wiki page). Ciao Joerg PS: The article on lwn.net will become available in a week for non-subscribers (The Grumpy Editor's guide to (some) development distributions). Apart from that goof, the article was a nice read. PPS: Googling for: opensuse development version showed the (good) development version page and the ("bad") download page as its first two hits in that order -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer(a)loplof.de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
