Before doing it, you can hardly know how broken the build system is, that a random project is using. Sometimes, the 'easy' looking leaf object gives you a major headache, simply because you have to patch out half of the Makefile, remove all the (in)-sanity checks, simply because you know better than what you do.

[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] Adding new packages to Contrib
by Michal Marek 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Hi, I tried to describe a process of adding packages to the Contrib repo: http://en.opensuse.org/Contrib/Adding_new_packages . Note that this is just a proposal, if you think that something is missing, or that something is a plain stupid requirement, just say so :). I just thought it's time to have something more specific.

[opensuse-factory] bad shutdown & kernel stack/trace on boot
by Felix Miata 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Did a full factory upgrade today including 2.6.26-14-pae on i845G with single PATA HD and / on /dev/dm-19. New kernel installation badly mangled menu.lst, which I fixed manually. Several times shutdown -h message failed (shutdown -r message succeeds) leaving dirty partitions, and startups litter screen with kernel stack/trace flotsam. Now shutdown works. :-p KDM no longer succeeds, but startx does. HPFS partitions won't mount any more. Prior kernel 2.6.26-2-pae won't boot any more (initrd created 24 July): boot/00-dm_linear.sh: line 1: /sbin/activate_dm_linear: no such file or directory (it does exist, dated 13 Aug, as does activate_dm_linear, dated 12 July); FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-pae/modules.dep: no such file or directory (which does exist). -- "Love is not easily angered.

Hi All, Since nothing seems to happen recently, I would like to discuss the reviewers (contrib-maintainers) and maintainers (package-maintainers) So far only few people agreed to become reviewers - Alexey "Technologov" (al4321(a)gmail.com) - Pascal Bleser User:Pbleser (yaloki) And few are considering it: -Martin Schlander <martin.schlander(a)gmail.com>) -Michal Marek (User:Michal-m) -Anyone else? By taking this chance, I would like to ask other participators what they think (or decided). After that I will ask coolo nicely to give reviewers the write access permissions so we can handle our job. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Czech Packagers Team (Prague) meeting minutes 2008-08-14 ======================================================== Present: anosek, lmichnovic, mkudlvasr, mmarek, mvyskocil, nadvornik, prusnak, puzel, sbrabec Minutes: mvyskocil Topic: (1) OCR software (2) New version of Virtual Box (3) How to adopt a packages from Packman (4) Work reports 2008-08-08 (5) Work reports 2008-08-15 (1) OCR software Puzel started work on packaging tesseract and OCRopus. Tesseract is a low-level optical character recognition software without any layout analysis. OCRopus is a general OCR framework that uses tesseract as one of its plugins. It can do layout analysis, language modelling etc. Both projects lack GUI. Concerning tesseract, there are no major problems with packaging since the code seems to be quite stable. On the other hand, OCRopus - available as alpha release - is under heavy development. Puzel suggested to wait for beta release (should be out this month) for which the developers promise stabilisation of build system and improvements in documentation. (2) New version of Virtual Box mkudlvasr started to work on build of the new version of VirtualBox. Altougth the local build runs, the build in autobuild fails. The initial packaging of the new version was done by community member in a BuildService. (3) How to adopt a packages from Packman mvyskocil works on improve of the build of the package openproj, withouth usage of the included binary jars. Some of the build dependencies are a part of Packman project. These packages don't have any license/or patent problem. So we've discussed about the best approach of addopting of these packages - mvyskocil will send an information about adopting to the Packman's maintaner.

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE to add SELinux Basic Enablement in 11.1
by Andreas Jaeger 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

I just published the following on news.opensuse.org: We have exciting news for security enthusiasts, experts, and paranoid people! Beginning with openSUSE 11.1, SUSE users will have an additional option regarding security frameworks. In addition to AppArmor, we will be adding SELinux capabilities in openSUSE 11.1, which will allow users to enable SELinux in openSUSE if they wish. While our customer experience shows that AppArmor is the best solution for the vast majority of users, applications, and use cases, we want to give all of our users the ability to choose the security framework that’s appropriate for their respective environments and needs. We continue to enable AppArmor as our default Host Intrusion Prevention System, and we are supporting it as the default in openSUSE 11.1 and in SUSE Linux Enterprise 11. However we are adding functionality to allow openSUSE 11.1 systems to use SELinux instead. In the SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 platform, SELinux will also be shipped as a technology preview. This is particularly important for organizations that have already standardized on SELinux, but could not even test-drive SUSE Linux Enterprise before without major work and changes. What does SELinux basic enablement mean? * We will ship the kernel with SELinux support. * We will apply SELinux patches to all “common” userland packages. * The libraries required for SELinux (libselinux, libsepol, libsemanage, etc.) will be added to openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise. * However, we are not offering enterprise class support for SELinux at this time; thus we will run QA with SELinux disabled – to make sure that SELinux patches don’t break the default delivery and the majority of packages. Although we will not be running QA with SELinux enabled, we encourage our testers to run tests with SELinux enabled and report issues and enhancement requests back to us. * We will not be shipping SELinux specific tools as part of the default distribution delivery. However, the packages (such as checkpolicy, policycoreutils, selinux-doc) will be available through the openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise repositories. * We will not be shipping any SELinux policies in the distribution. (Reference and maybe minimal policies will be available from the repositories.) By enabling SELinux in our upcoming codebase, we add missing pieces of code that exist in the community already, and we allow those who wish to use SELinux to do so conveniently without having to replace a big chunk of the distribution. Questions about SELinux enablement should be discussed on the opensuse-factory mailing list.

[opensuse-factory] Status openSUSE distribution
by Christoph Thiel 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

Hi everyone, just a quick status update on the openSUSE distribution. We are getting ready for Alpha2, to be released later this week. Currently, we are testing Build0021, which almost looks like Alpha2 after some initial testing. Besides the high number of failing packages (~140-145), the most noteable issue will be broken images on the x86_64 media. We are looking into a workaround. Also, live media is still to be created -- looking into a kiwi issue on this side. Stay tuned for the Alpha2 release, coming up on Tuesday. Best, Christoph -- Christoph Thiel, Tech.

Not openSUSE the distro, but openSUSE the packaging, framework, concept - whatever it is that sets openSUSE apart. After all, the software distributed is the same. I understand that areas such as translation are easy to open to community support, but your comments were made in the context of the partitioner and ext4, i.e. YaST, a very key element to openSUSE. Personally (and partially speaking on behalf of my company too), I'd like to contribute in the areas of JFS and LILO support. Both have been or are being deprecated support-wise, which I am or have been quite vocal about. So, as we are talking about the YaST/partitioner, the key question is: who decides what goes into it? Is this true open source, or is it a Novell product management decision? Who is the project lead on YaST? How does one submit patches? Who decides what is accepted and what is rejected? For instance - why might ext4 get accepted/supported whilst JFS got kicked out earlier? I dare say their level of support/testing is about the same ATM. If you can answer those questions in a satisfactory manner, you might just be getting some community support. /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] "contrib" repository: Further progress
by Alexey Eremenko 19 Aug '08

19 Aug '08

We need to progress this project further. Next stage, I believe is to decide who are the maintainers, that have the final say on what gets in. Maintainers will be grant write access to "contrib" repo, that currently was added to OBS. Currently only Coolo has write commit access, and I believe he will share it with future maintainers. As Yaloki puts it - we need uneven number of leaders, so problematic cases could be solved by voting. Maintainers: Who volunteer ? -I am. (Alexey) -Pascal Bleser (yaloki) ? -Martin Schlander ? -Michal Marek ? -Anyone from Novell ? -Anyone ? Next stage would be asking coolo to give write commit access.

[opensuse-factory] Requesting to create a top level project "Contrib"
by Alexey Eremenko 19 Aug '08

19 Aug '08

Hi, (cross-posting to OBS & Factory) We would like to create a top-level project for third-party packages for openSUSE, named: "Contrib". Our goals is to setup some kind of universal repository for third-party packages. This repository should be viewed as a community-driven extension of Factory, with all standards and limitations applied. Current model of third-party packages for openSUSE is broken in many user's opinion. There are lots of packages across hundreds of Build Service projects, which is hard to download & navigate. Packages are often duplicates, and aren't tested. Current model is good for experimentation and development but is bad idea for deployment. We want to make a new model, which suites deployment & distribution. ...

[opensuse-factory] "contrib": Bugzilla integration
by Alexey Eremenko 18 Aug '08

18 Aug '08

Very important topic for "contrib": Bugzilla integration How-to do it properly ? A possible way: 1. allow to open bug-reports/feature-requests against "contrib" in Novell bugzilla 2. Mailing list must be created for "contrib" maintainers (for now we can use factory mailing-list. 3. New opened bugs must be sent by Bugzilla to the mailing-list 4. Maintainer(s), that knows the package best will respond NOTE: This primitive technique may fail if bugs volume will become large.

[opensuse-factory] add ext4 file system support to GRUB legacy
by Peng tao 18 Aug '08

18 Aug '08

Hi, all I am a 08' Google Summer of Code student working for opensuse.org mentored by Coly Li. My project is to provide GRUB legacy with ext4 file system support. Since I'm done with coding related work, I have the patch attached (based on http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/s…). With this patch, grub can boot ext4 partitions with extents feature and detect incompatible 64-bit feature. Grub shall fail to read if targeted file is located on blocks beyond 32-bit offset(which means that /boot partition is larger than 4TB and is very very unlikely in real world) and return ERR_FILELENGTH error with "Error 14: Filesystem compatibility error, cannot read whole file" message. The new grub package is available for tests at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/bergwolf:/grub4ext4/openSUS… Any suggestions and/or bug-reports are welcome :-) -- RGDS Bergwolf ................

Hi everyone, sorry for the late status update. It will come on time next week, since AJ update his cronjob to remind me of it ;) We are currently facing a number of failing packages (142 on i386, 148 on x86_64), as we move forward to Alpha2. 1/3 of the failing packages are due to a insserv / init script check for Should-Start/Should-Stop (cf. email from Werner on opensuse-packaging). Fixes are being checked in and worked on as I'm writing this. These are the bugs that are blocking an Alpha2 build from happening right now: * libstorage lock issue: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=416276 * Build0019: Bootloader not working after first reboot https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=417383 * Build0019a: trying to remove openSUSE-release package, which is not installed?! https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=417799 Stay tuned, as we work towards openSUSE 11.1 Alpha2.

[opensuse-factory] A small suggestion regarding RealPlayer.
by Nathan Moschkin 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

For those of us who have both KDE and Gnome systems installed, or perhaps even for anyone ... getting RealPlayer to work with audio required that I go tromping through the internet to eventually stumble upon a script that starts RealPlayer under artsdsp (for a couple of reasons, one being that RealPlayer, by default, is launching from a script, now...) Here's the script I found, online. Apparently it's been a problem since version 9... This starts real player using the artsdsp ... it definitely works, and I'm using Gnome as my desktop environment. --- #!/bin/sh # If you don't have readlink, fill in the path to hxplay.bin here. HELIX_LIBS="/usr/lib/RealPlayer10" ; export HELIX_LIBS # To install this script, create a symlink to it from somewhere in your # path. Do *not* move the script out of the HelixPlayer directory, since # it relies on the true location of hxplay to derive the location of the # HelixPlayer directory # REALPLAYSYMLINK and REALPLAYSCRIPT are only used to derive REALPLAYDIR if [ ! -d "$HELIX_LIBS" ]; then REALPLAYSCRIPT="" if [ -h "$0" ]; then REALPLAYSYMLINK=`which $0` # Search for something we can use as readlink READLINK=`which readlink` 2> /dev/null; PERL=`which perl` 2> /dev/null; PYTHON=`which python` 2> /dev/null; if [ -x "$READLINK" ] ; then # echo "Using readlink" REALPLAYSCRIPT=`$READLINK $REALPLAYSYMLINK` elif [ -x "$PERL" ] ; then # echo "Using perl" REALPLAYSCRIPT=`$PERL -e 'print readlink($ARGV[0])' -- $REALPLAYSYMLINK` elif [ -x "$PYTHON" ] ; then # echo "Using python" REALPLAYSCRIPT=`echo 'import os; print os.readlink("/usr/local/bin/hxplay")' | $PYTHON -` else # echo "Using ls (directory name cannot contain spaces)" REALPLAYSCRIPT=`ls -l $REALPLAYSYMLINK | sed -e 's/.* //'` fi else REALPLAYSCRIPT=`which $0` fi if [ ! -x "$REALPLAYSCRIPT" ] ; then echo "Cannot find the HelixPlayer directory." echo "Please set the path in the hxplay script." exit fi # if REALPLAYDIR detection doesn't work, hardcode the directory here REALPLAYDIR=`dirname $REALPLAYSCRIPT` # setup environment # find our common, plugin and codec dlls HELIX_LIBS=$REALPLAYDIR export HELIX_LIBS fi # See if LD_PRELOAD contains any of the sound server libs.

[opensuse-factory] Dropping lilo support from YaST
by Stanislav Visnovsky 12 Aug '08

12 Aug '08

Hi! As some of you've noticed, the bootloader configuration in openSUSE was not in best shape for a couple of releases. Therefore, we plan to drop the support for lilo bootloader from YaST (and thus installation) and leave grub as the only supported bootloader on i386 and x86_64 in openSUSE 11.1. The reason is that there are almost no technical advantages to keep both bootloaders and it makes a lot of sense to focus on a single solution and improve it. As part of this strategy, we also want to document bootloader deployment strategies that are supported by the YaST code and where the users should expect the code to work reliably. The change will mean: 1) YaST bootloader code for lilo will be dropped 2) YaST installation will offer to not install any bootloader, so an experienced user can use this to install lilo manually 3) kernel packages will be unable to adapt lilo configuration automatically, this needs to be done manually after installing a new kernel package Any feedback appreciated.

[opensuse-factory] clock and timezone map ...
by Per Jessen 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

This is so minor that I can't find a category in bugzilla ... every time I try to hit "Switzerland" when I click on the world map, I always without exception get "Liechtenstein". On the 2nd map, I get to click Switzerland. Now, why Liechtenstein is even a clickable area on map#1 is beyond me, but I really feel I should be able to hit the somewhat bigger Switzerland ... is it just me and my slowly deteriorating mouse abilities? /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] dud
by Peter Czanik 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

Hello, I wanted to use a driver update disk, which worked fine for 11.0, but now I get now 'no new driver found' or similar during booting. Is there some kind of time checking (the dud is older than the installer) in linuxrc for dud's, or it is worth for a bug report?

You want the community to contribute, but you want to say how and when, primarily because of your support commitments. Well, how about letting the community participate in the support as well? /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
