Hi!
The factory tree now contains a full rewrite of the YaST partitioning module.
It provides much saner GUI environment, especially for handling more complex
setups involving RAID, volume management etc. The same interface is used
during installation as the expert partitoner.
However, the change is rather radical and big also regarding the code change.
It would be great to get feedback, both on UI as well as reporting bugs (the
known ones are assigned to either Arvin (aschnell) or Bubli (kmachalkova) -
please check to avoid reporting duplicates).
The package is yast2-storage >= 2.17.8.
Enjoy!
Stano

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.
Erik.

Hi,
I'm a bit confused over the NTP server configuration in Yast (KDE).
It seems like it does not set up a default NTP server when it's started.
Would it not be best if it's chosen from http://www.pool.ntp.org/ and
matches the country you're in?
It's maybe almost as that is the only servers that should be in the Yast list.
Regards Birger

To anyone who uses 'zypper update' or 'zypper list-updates' without explicitly
specifying the --type option: the default has been changed from 'patch' to
'package' since zypper 0.12.7

Hi,
we discussed already once [1] the situation with proprietary software on
our distribution. We agreed on the list and in an IRC project meeting that
it's not nice but is very convenient for many users and should stay therefor
on media.
I'm opening the discussion again as with that we never will achieve a user
friendly licence as already copying of our software on DVD is not allowed and
even some mirrors have an issue with this licence. We receive on a regular
base inquiries in this regards and bad press [2].
Here is our proposal for new discussion.
*Ship any media of openSUSE with open source software and proprietary software
which allows redistribution (eg. firmware), for details [3].
*Add during installation automatically an online repo with the non-OSS stuff
and install per default flashplayer (5MB) and the fluendo plug-in (210K) for
mp3.
This would allow us to offer a user friendly end user licence agreement (EULA)
and would remove the cause of bad press and angry users reading the EULA
really carefully.
Some background info:
- survey of usage of proprietary[4] software showed that only flashplayer and
acroread really are used by a majority of users (Java is not an issue anymore
as we ship with 11.1 openJDK)
- with the distribution of 90%+ of broadband access amongst our users
flashplayer via online repo shouldn't be a problem. And without internet
access flashplayer won't be an issue for anybody.
- For acroread we're sure that the open source alternatives (kpdf, evince,
okular) are at same level with acroread. The only drawback we're aware of is
the missing functionality PDF Forms offers today.
We're asking for your buy-in for having a more friendly EULA, to make the
distribution of openSUSE easier and get the software in more hands.
BTW: we'll replace the proprietary agfa-fonts with the open source alternative
Liberation fonts with openSUSE 11.1.
Best
Michael

I tried to reply in this bug, but the bug page is defective in both Firefox
2.0.0.17, FF 3.0.2, Epiphany, Opera & Konq on 10.2, and in SeaMonkey 1.1.12
on OS/2. It shows the new attachment, but it fails to show comment #27, all
whether logged in or not.

Czech Packagers Team meeting minutes 2008-09-25
===============================================
Present: anicka, anosek, mkudlvasr, mmarek, mvyskocil, nadvornik, pgajdos,
prusnak, puzel, sbrabec
Minutes: anicka
Topics:
(1) Installation of beta 1
(2) Dropping of eclipse-cdt
(3) VirtualBox 2.0.2
(1) Installation of beta 1
==========================
Most of us tried to install beta 1. We have encountered various problems, some
people could not start X at all, others could not get the console. Sbrabec
noticed that gnome application are segfaulting silently, without any
information window being showed. We had also various problems with dhcp client
and bootloader, we have reported some bugs.
(2) Dropping of eclipse-cdt
===========================
Anosek announced dropping of package eclipse-cdt. He pointed out that this
package can be easily installed through Eclipse update tool like any other
plugin, difficult updating of our obsolete RPM would be thus just lots of quite
useless work.

Mkudlvasr updated VirtualBox to the upstream version 2.0.2. It will be
available for 11.1.

Actually, this bug covers it:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=426370
It's a bug in an optimized pixman path (SSE2) when doing simple alpha blending. Should be fixed in beta 2.
