>AFAIK cdrtools still have some problems that were solved in cdrkit: >- acessing the device via /dev/sg vs. /dev/sr >https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=226019 >- burning without root or suid You are mistaken: - cdrkit has big problems with e.g. discovering SATA drives while the original software nas no no known problems and is able to access all drives out of the box. The SCSI problems in wodim are all a result if the fact that Eduard Bloch is missing basic skills on SCSI transport. - Suse ships software that usually on notebooks is completely unable to access the CD-ROM drive regardless how hard you try. Cdrecord is able to work "out of the box" on the same hardware even without specifying a dev= parameter. - wodim of course is unable to work correctly whout being suid root. The fact that it's creator (a non-cooperative downstream package maintainer without the needed SCSI skills) did remove early warning tests just results in late failures with unspecific error sitiations that are hard to be interpreted correctly. - The Linux kernel _always_ required root privileges for writing CDs At some time, a driver developer novice introduced a security bug that was never correctly fixed. As a result now some SCSI commands appear to work without root privileges making uninformed people believe that the there is no need for root privileges.

The patch for multi extent handling adds even more Copyright problems and the patch is not correct as it's creator did not understand what has to be changed in order to support this feature. The cdrkit "fork" has been created by a non-cooperative and extremely hostile downstream package maintainer. Do you really like to depend on people who attack OpenSource software? In order to maintain software you need related technical skill and enthusiasm. Neither of the two is present the people behind the fork.

[opensuse-factory] Call for help: eclipse update to 3.5
by Michal Vyskocil 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

Hi all, there's a pending request - bnc#525297: Update eclipse to 3.5. Very probably I will not have a time to do that before freeze*, due many other tasks. So I'd like to ask if there is anyone interested on it and would like to help me with it? Please drop me a note, and I'll try to help you as much as I can. * I suppose that there would be not a big problem, if eclipse will be updated after freeze, because people wants to use a latest version, so it can be in a BuildService. Regards Michal Vyskocil

[opensuse-factory] debug repo
by Stephan Kulow 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

Hi, As we split debuginfos by subpackage to make the necessary download much smaller to debug a random application, we faced a problem: the debug repo only contains the main debuginfo files. So it's possible that you won't be able to install the right debuginfo packages atm. I hope it's fixed before the next milestone is released though.

Hi, The factory live isos (as of d.o.o/factory/iso) are now also hybrid ISOs to be deployed on USB - and on the bright side this also means that the 422K isos are history :) Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE Firefox plugin finder service
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hi, this is a follow up on earlier threads and https://features.opensuse.org/306475 All bugs and features (that I know of) of the client implementation are done now. Also with the help from darix we basically almost have a server where we could run the backend. The crucial missing thing still is to get the data about available plugins into the backend. The idea to get the information directly from the repositories seems to be not possible w/o a concept how that could be done. Would be nice to hear some statement from rpm/zypp/rpmmd people here. The last post with some ideas is here: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2009-07/msg00125.html I'm also open for other ideas which don't require to INSERT INTO quite a lot of data manually into the backend database.

[opensuse-factory] factory tree unsigned
by Stephan Kulow 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hi, We tried to fix upload of live cd and during that we possibly killed the wrong process... :) Anyway, if you notice that factory repos are unsigned, this is not a problem on your side and we're looking into ways to hotfix it.

[opensuse-factory] Palm Pilot module
by Donn Washburn 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hey group; In the past my Palm device was spotted right off by SuSE after installing a custom /etc/udev/rules.d file. Now it is not even spotted by hwinfo --usb. This brings me to my question. (Senior Moment) - What was the kernel module need to have this device seen?
