[opensuse-factory] factory to beta3 and other
by Putrycz, Erik 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

Is there a simple way to upgrade from factory to beta3 and in the future to the final release? I'm not sure I always will want to live in factory land.

[opensuse-factory] Re: [opensuse] Enhancement #399239 - feedback
by Roberto Mannai 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Please read all the bug comments / clarifications :) this enhancement request is not about "out of disk space" alert; it is about reporting the total of bytes your going to install / remove. Now that total bytes is showed when the installation step is already started (really when starting to download the packages). Other package management tools show the disk variation: SMART and Synaptics, if I'm not wrong...

[opensuse-factory] May I make a small suggestion?
by Nathan Moschkin 23 Jul '08

23 Jul '08

I don't know if any of you are aware of how very difficult it is to build gimp-gap-2.4.0 in the openSUSE environment? For a Debian environment, it didn't take too much, except compiling the latest libraries of GTK, Glib and Pango (etc) by hand ... and installing them one-by-one. This may be what is necessary on openSUSE, but, even still, the libraries that ship with the OS should be enough to compile it, right? I mean, it seems a little harder on openSUSE... For instance: the ./configure program will run and it will run completely, but there are several points during the make that it crashes, even after supposedly finding all of the dependencies that it deems necessary for the build. Libraries are not where they should be, header files are not where they should be. I've joined the comp.graphics.apps.gimp newsgroup on USENET, and the one person who replied simply said "it takes 5 hours of tedium, and I can't remember how I actually pulled it off." Well... considering GIMP's overall popularity, do you think someone back there could spend 5 hours creating a gimp-gap RPM to stick onto the 11.0 version? Just a thought. I would hate to think that my Windows environment could do something with a GTK+ based program that my Linux environment couldn't, without hassle.

[opensuse-factory] update-mirrors out of sync - please remove these hazardous sites from the list/redirectors
by ab 22 Jul '08

22 Jul '08

hi there, i just recently discovered that some older 10.2 box is completely out of sync as the updates/patches repository it got subscribed to during install time back then is only having patches from year 2007. this is total madness. somebody gotta keep this list clean and only distributing reliable and current mirrors. example is: <http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/update/10.2/repodata/> (current) <http://ftp.tu-ilmenau.de/Mirrors/ftp.suse.com/update/10.2/repodata/> (way outdated) i even re-ran the yast online-update configuration and the novell initscript or whatever it was called (/usr/bin/suse_register ?) re-subscribed me to this lagging mirror several times over again :( argh. :( p.s. i somewhere read about zypper updates also coming to older suse systems. is there a way to profit from newer zypper updates on these older suse/opensuse systems that maybe newer zypper builds feature a better and more intelligent handling of repositories and being in-/outof-sync with the main suse sources. there has to be some sane way of getting rid of unreliable downloadlocations. thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] modules gobble disk space with built kernel
by Felix Miata 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

/lib/modules/(stock2.6.21kernel)# du -s 60804 . /lib/modules/(my2.6.21kernel)# du -s 538292 . That's a 785% increase in space consumed by my modules over stock modules. Does that happen for anyone building their own Factory kernel? Can a more normal space consumption be made to happen by a mere mortal kernel building novice like myself? What I did was: 1-apply the patch from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7513 2-zcat /proc/config.gz > .config 3-make menuconfig to add smbfs and change the CONFIG_LOCALVERSION 4-make 5-make modules_install 6-INSTALL_PATH=/boot make install 7-fix the resulting broken /boot/grub/menu.lst -- "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-factory] Bugreports go to black hole?
by Andrew Joakimsen 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

What sort of "community" distribution is this? I submit bugreports but then when I search the bugzilla they do not appear. Why is that? How long typically does it take to get a report rejected after its submitted? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Lang RPMs Problem
by Hamed Janzadeh 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

Hi all, I have recently tried to change the Pattern files so that a lang rpm, e.g. gnome-menus-lang, is installed by default. For this reason, I have addressed this rpm in the Prc section of the gnome_basis pattern. Now, the Yast Package Manager shows the rpm in the list of packages, but as a non-selected one. Surprisingly, this rpm is also in the Requirements List of another selected rpm, i.e. gnome-menus, and should be selected logically, but it doesn't happen. Does anyone know what is the reason? This problem exists for some of other lang rpms too. - Hamed --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Base for delta rpms of 11.0 updates
by Volker Kuhlmann 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

What is the base for delta rpms of 11.0 updates? E.g. the final ships with mozilla-nspr-4.7.1-18.1.i586.rpm but the updates only contain mozilla-nspr-4.7.1-17.1_18.2.i586.delta.rpm I was really looking forward to the new zypper, but this isn't looking good. In fact none of the currently available deltas for 11.0 seem to be any good.
