[opensuse-factory] crypto consolidation

by Wolfgang Rosenauer

Hi, usage of different crypto libraries is quite cluttered over the openSUSE distribution (actually every Linux distribution). Those include: OpenSSL Mozilla's NSS GnuTLS libgcrypt This is caused by different things and can't be avoided but I'm still wondering about a few things: - is there a policy which framework to use if the upstream project offers more options? - if there is no policy yet should there be one? - would it make sense to join or introduce an own project like Fedora's http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraCryptoConsolidation Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] When is the cutoff for new packages in 11.2

by Greg Freemyer

All, I just came across a new package. It is very young in its development, but it may have some basic functionality by summer and I would love to see it in OS 11.2. It is a HSM (Hierarchical Storage Manager). http://code.google.com/p/fscops/ I'm not aware of a good GPL HSM in Linux currently. With SSDs coming on strong, by the fall it would be great to have the ability to bring heavy i/o files up to SSD for processing, then push them back to rotating disk for less intense activity.

[opensuse-factory] Czech Packagers Meeting minutes 2009-01-06

by Petr Uzel

Czech Packagers Meeting minutes 2009-01-06 ========================================== Present: anicka, mkudlvasr, mseben, mvyskocil, nadvornik, pgjados, prusnak, puzel, sbrabec Minutes: puzel 1. Cleaning of openSUSE Build Service ---------------------------------------- We have discussed several proposals how to clean up openSUSE Build Service to make it easier to use for openSUSE users and contributors. One of the ideas was to organize an OBS cleaning event aimed at identifying high quality packages in home:* projects. We believe that better place for such packages would be some general repository or Contrib. It was suggested that OBS download statistics could be used to identify the home:* projects that are downloaded most and thus probably contain packages that are most useful to the community. Concerning the cleaning event, it has been decided to wait until Contrib has more packages and becomes more known to openSUSE community. Another idea was to identify duplicates in OBS and try to attract their maintainers to work in cooperation to prevent duplicate work. Pavol Rusnak has noted that when working on Contrib and looking at the list of packages, it is hard to figure out which packages are maintained by him. So the FATE#305625 has been filled. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Re: commit mozilla-nspr for openSUSE:Factory

by Wolfgang Rosenauer

Hi, I'd have thought that Factory submissions are going through OBS and through the respective development project set for the package? Once again that wasn't the case for two packages mozilla-nspr and mozilla-nss where new packages were already waiting in the mozilla:Factory project for inclusion in Factory. Sorry, that happens far too often for me and I certainly won't always merge back the stuff to the package in the development project. Can someone official please enlighten me if it's ok to destroy other's work by bypassing the normal procedures? Yes, I'm really annoyed by that happening all the time.

If not then it makes you too lazy to use them. Ken, thanks for your positive response, I shall remember that I have cursor keys next time, maybe next time you could remember that there are sometimes reasons that you may not understand before being so nasty, and even if my reasons are incorrect they were what I felt was correct at the time.
