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:

- 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

Our original aim were games, utils and programming languages we do not package
and give a resource for last resort. Our packages are mass-autoconverted and
not tested at all. (beside those in Ports:DebianBased).

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.
Greetings, Stephan

Hello,
I can't install factory Alpha 5.. ?
YaST2 tell me on my installations Path a unknown Error.
Then
File /var/tmp/TempDir.............../content.key
doesn't contain public key data ?
I do a replace of the key files but nothing helps ?
Is this a known bug ?

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)
