Czech Packagers Team meeting minutes 2008-06-12 =============================================== Present: anicka, anosek, lmichnovic, mmarek, nadvornik, pgajdos, prusnak, puzel, sbrabec Minutes: anicka Topics: (1) New OBS version (2) Mailing list about RPM problems in real life (1) New OBS version =================== We are going to thoroughly test new features of openSUSE Build Service, especially new means for collaboration. We have discussed a future possibility of decreasing the number of maintainers in various projects. A lower number of trustworthy maintainers reviewing all new commits should increase the security of using packages from these repositories. (2) Mailing list about RPM problems in real life ================================================ When we started the discussion about common packaging practices for openSUSE and Fedora, we found out very soon that a lot of our guidelines is just stating how to work around various problems of RPM. We decided to continue the discussion together with the RPM upstream. At least for the start, we are going to use the rpm-maint(a)lists.rpm.org mailing list; anyone wishing to join the discussion is welcome. For start, sbrabec has written a document about the most apparent packaging problems: http://wiki.rpm.org/Problems. Status reports: anicka - openssh: work on #398250 - installation and testing of RC3 - check some more Gerrit Beine's perl modules - investigating perl XML parsers - familiarize myself with new BS version lmichnovic Installed openSUSE 11 RC4, reported few bugs.

[opensuse-factory] Scout released
by Pavol Rusnak 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

Hello all! The first public version of Scout was just released. It is a simple tool which allows user to look for (not yet installed) packages using simple queries (e.g. which autoconf macros does the package contain, which Java classes are present inside or what binaries does the package provide). Its functionality is extendable by plugins, so there will be more options in the future. You can read more about scout in my introductory blogpost[1] and the release blogpost[2].

[opensuse-factory] Pdflatex on Suse11.0
by jpff 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

How do i get this to work? I filed a bug report last week and not it seems to be closed, but pdflatex is still not working. last question was to install texlive-bin texlive texlive-bin-latex and texlive-latex, but they are installed $ rpm -q texlive-bin texlive texlive-bin-latex texlive-latex texlive-bin-2007-176.1 texlive-2007-177.1 texlive-bin-latex-2007-176.1 texlive-latex-2007-177.1 It was also suggested that I check there are no other Tex installations -- but this was a complete install from DVD to a brand new disk. I cannot see how to continue, other than changing to a different distribution that works. How can I proceed? ==John ffitch --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Which update to perform
by Trey Sizemore 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

Hi All- Trying to figure out the best method for upgrading my current 11.0 system. One method is to use 'zypper up -t package' and the other is to use 'zypper dup'. I have attached the output of both to this e-mail. The latter gives me a number of package conflicts that I can resolve by choosing to not install Azureus, kde4-konqueror-plugins, compiz-kde4, and a few others. What is the relative merit of each method? -- Cheers, Trey ---- I've touch'd the highest point of all my greatness; And from that full meridian of my glory I haste now to my setting. I shall fall, Like a bright exhalation in the evening And no man see me more. -- Shakespeare Linux basilisk 2.6.25.5-1.1-default i686 GNU/Linux 5:04pm up 2:26, 6 users, load average: 0.16, 0.09, 0.06

[opensuse-factory] subpixel hinting in 11.0?
by Christian Jäger 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

Hello all, just out of curiousity: Will 11.0 final's freetype package have subixel-hinting deactivated yet again, for fear about its legality. Or has someone up there made a daring decision? ;-) Greets, Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Using KDE 3.5.9 on openSUSE 11.0 beta. How do I invoke the beagle search applet such that it appears on the kicker bar?

[opensuse-factory] Missing slideshow lang files on installation media
by Ladislav Michnovič 16 Jun '08

16 Jun '08

Hello. I checked the directory /suse/setup/slide/txt on DVD installation media and there is only en and gl directory. Other languages are missing. Was this necessary due to disc space or something went wrong? Those files were present on RC 2 installation media. It's a pity that users can see only English slideshow during installation.

[opensuse-factory] Modem problem.
by Fred A. Miller 16 Jun '08

16 Jun '08

Yesterday, I tried to install the RC1 32-bit CD version and found that it was impossible to get a Zoom external modem to work with it. After over an hour of messing around, I gave up. I put PCLinuxOS 2007 on it and it worked out-of-the-box. Communications support has to be better.
