[opensuse-factory] Announcing Hack Week
by Nat Friedman 04 Jul '07

04 Jul '07

Hi everyone, At Novell we've been planning a special internal event that will run this week, from June 25th to 29th. We're calling it Hack Week. During Hack Week, our entire Linux engineering team -- hundreds of people -- will be working on whatever Linux or open source projects interest them. Everyone will work alone or in teams, on existing open source projects or new ideas of their own. No one will tell them what or what not to do -- it's a free week for free hacking, driven by individual passion. To make it easier for our hackers to find and publicize their projects, we've created an Idea Pool web site where we've all spent the last couple of weeks sharing ideas and finding collaborators. This web site is open to the public here: http://idea.opensuse.org/ Although this is a Novell event, we're running it with full transparency. You'll be able to follow our progress and projects on the Idea Pool web site, either with the blog on the front page where we'll post videos from our seven main engineering sites[1], or by watching individual project pages. We invite you to participate where you can. If you'd like to help with a project, feel free to add a comment to the discussion section of the page and volunteer your support. We hope that you'll at least enjoy watching Hack Week progress. If it is successful, we hope to run it again sometime soon, with even more participation from the community. If you're interested in following along, you might check the following sites first: - Hack Week Overview: http://idea.opensuse.org/content/hackweek - Tags: http://idea.opensuse.org/content/blog/welcome-to-the-idea-pool - Idea Pool code of conduct: http://idea.opensuse.org/content/etiquette - Flickr pool: http://www.flickr.com/groups/hackweek/pool/ During the week, we'll use the channel #opensuse-hackweek on irc.freenode.net for general discussion (project-specific discussion will find its own venue). Hope to see you there! Happy hacking, Nat [1] Beijing, Bangalore, Prague, Nuernberg, Boston, Provo, Portland are the main sites --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Ports:DebianBased
by Stephan Kulow 04 Jul '07

04 Jul '07

Dear Community, :) Perhaps you have noticed or you haven't, but last week Novell R&D had an event called hackweek, where we were free to sidestep our normal jobs and work on something we always wanted to try without having an urgent need to as Novell. So being experienced with both Debian's and SUSE's build tools, Richard Günther and me decided just to try compiling Debian sources using SUSE's tools and see what problems we face. It turned out, most problems we were facing could be easily solved or worked around (e.g. debian has a completely different concept of lib64, so we had to package debian's amd64 libs under */lib - so it's impossible to have a -32libs version of ithem. But that doesn't really matter for the kind of packages we're aiming for). Now the problem is a problem of success: I have not really an idea what to do with the huge pool of debian packages (substract those that provide files we already have - those are failing and won't be in that pool). The original idea was to only distribute packages that look worth it, but with > 10000 packages, picking those is a job hard enough and we could use help with it. The current list of selected packages is under http://software.opensuse.org/download/Ports:/DebianBased/ - if someone has an idea how to pick more or how to group them, I'm glad to hear it.

[opensuse-factory] latest factory updates for x86_64 break yast sw_single
by Markus Koßmann 01 Jul '07

01 Jul '07

Latest factory (update from june 29 ) comes with libzypp-3.1.1 but yast sw_single still depends on libzypp-3.0.2. If you ignore the dependency when updating, yast sw_single will stop to work until you make a link /usr/lib64/libzypp.so.302.2.2 -> libzypp.so.303.0.1 (Bug 288754) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
