Already done :-) As described above, this is the standard way how I make the updates. > I would very much appreciate it when you make your HPLIP > based upon our official source RPM. As indicated I created a link to the hplip package in Factory and started from there. This way I can test which patches should still remain, which needs adjustments and which can be removed. > Additionally - as mentioned above - I think that this way > we get the newest HPLIP very much more tested when it > can be used by our normal users in openSUSE 11.0 and 11.1 > so that it helps both our normal users and us. The question only is where to announce that there is a newer build for hplip ? I will definitely place a message on the factory mailing list, but I assume that users of the previous openSUSE versions will not read this mailing list Regards Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

For the second one I will perform some tests, but I am not sure if I can really reproduce it as I have never seen this on my system. Is there a specific devel project for HPLIP or is it just maintained in Factory ? If so, where is it build for 11.0 and 11.1 ?

[opensuse-factory] nmap update for detecting Conficker?
by Terje J. Hanssen 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

I wonder if the current nmap version for openSUSE 11.1 is capable to detect Conficker infected machines on the network, or if the latest version of nmap is required as described in the Linux Journal? http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/detecting-conficker-linux-tools Rgds, Terje J.

[opensuse-factory] rt2860sta-kmp-default, not present in repos.
by Oddball 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Hi, To get the wireless on eeepc901 to work, this kernel module is needed. For older kernels there is one here: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/11316859/com/rt2860sta-kmp-defa… Also the source rpm is available... Is there a reason that it is not available for 2.6.29, or will it become available shortly? ---- Have a nice day ;) Oddball aka M9.

[opensuse-factory] How to obtain rt2860 detection with the latest kernel:head kernel:2.6.29-56?
by Oddball 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hi, I am using this kernel, and it is quicker than the original 11.1 one, has also volume control working on hotkeys, but no wireless card detection for rt2860. The userspace module does not apply because it has to be detected first. The complaint is that there is no hw-info on the card. Does anyone want to tell me how to get the card detected? tia. -- Have a nice day ;) Oddball aka M9.

[opensuse-factory] HPLIP version
by Raymond Wooninck 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hi, I was wondering if there is any reason why the hplip package in Factory is running that far behind in version ? In Factory we have 2.8.7, while the hp website is already providing version 3.9.2. I will start building the new version in my home repository and if it builds correctly I could perform a submitreq to Factory. Please let me know.

[opensuse-factory] OpenOffice-3.0.99.3 x86_64
by Markus Koßmann 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Today factories OpenOffice was updated to 3.0.99.3. However the *extensions*x86_64.rpms didn't made it into factory ( these packages are available in OpenOffice.org:/UNSTABLE). That causes nasty dependency problems ( one option is to downgrade to i586 because the i586 extensions are not missing). Is there any problem with these packages or is the problem only that they weren't propagated to the factory repo ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
