[opensuse-factory] How do I use gcc-4.5 and g++-4.5 on opensuse-factory?
by Paul Elliott 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

I am using opensuse-factory, (indirectly thru opensuse-buildservice) to build a project. What do I have to put on the "./configure" lines and "make" lines to make it use the alternate compiler =gcc-4.5 and g++-4.5? I am asking this here because I do not have thefactory distro and can not cousult the docs. CC=gcc-4.5 CXX=g++-4.5 ./configure #blah blah blah did not work! -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott(a)BlackPatchPanel.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.free.blackpatchpanel.com/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117

[opensuse-factory] Lenovo ThinkPad T60 mouse input problem with 11.2 installation
by Mindaugas Vaiciulis 19 Jan '10

Hello, i have just tried to install suse11.2 to Lenovo ThinkPad T60 and nor my mouse (some MS, later Logitech) nor laptop integrated buttons didn't work, although i could move a cursor. So i had to install using only keyboard and can confirm this function works :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] monotone
by Thomas Keller 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

Hi all! Please consider my SR for monotone, the distributed version control system (ID: 29018). This package was once part of the base distro of openSUSE, but probably got removed because unclear package maintenance and build problems. monotone is licensed under GPLv2 and has been around since 2004. It is one of the first distributed version control systems, from which git, Mercurial and all the others borrowed lots of ideas. It has almost 550 functional and many unit tests, not a single critical (read: data-loss) bug in the years since its beginning, is extensible and scriptable with Lua and has a rock-solid implementation in C++.

This COPYING file suggests "GPL v2 or later" and as the individual sources files do not have copyright headers this mentioning applies. The author should put COPYING headers as suggested in his .c and .h files of course. foomatic-filters has: License: GPL v2 or later in its RPM header. This also matches the internal license scan results. I talked to our license guys and for "GPL v2 or later" using gs in GPL v3 mode is fine. If those in turn provide libraries, they are however GPL v3 after compilation. So foomatic-filters is fine to use with the libgs library.

[opensuse-factory] New glibc-devel replaced linux-kernel-headers, now build fails.

[opensuse-factory] [ANNOUNCE] Removing packages depending on gtk+ 1.2
by Vincent Untz 18 Jan '10

18 Jan '10

Hi, Since I'm going to file more than 10 delete requests for what is mostly old applications, I thought people might want to know about it. If you believe there's a good reason to keep a package, please speak up, but only if you care enough to also find people to maintain the gtk+ 1.2 package (and friends, like glib 1.2). I'll create the delete requests at the end of the week. Here's the list of packages: ami: - Korean input method - scim deprecates this bombermaze: - game (bomberman/dynablaster clone) - similar games are available in the games OBS project (xblast, tomatoes) - dead upstream fnlib: - font rendering for enlightenment - was used by old versions of enlightenment only, as far as I know gau: - Gtk-based Hangul terminal emulator - shouldn't be needed with a recent terminal and a good Korean input method gbuffy: - mailbox watcher - dead upstream - patch to port to gtk2 available in case someone wants to resurrect the project: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=515274 goom2k4: - visual effects generator for mp3 players - not used by anything anymore, as far as I can tell (code was integrated in gstreamer) gtktalog: - manages a catalog of cd-rom - dead upstream kanji-lookup: - simple kanji lookup application - gucharmap can be used nicolatter: - Japanese input method - scim deprecates this pcpmon: - graphical monitor for Performance Co-Pilot - no upstream available - kmchart is an alternative soundtracker: - sound editor - dead upstream - has been removed from Debian surf: - tool to visualize some real algebraic geometry - pretty sure there are other tools to do this - dead upstream traffic-vis: - tools to do network monitoring - dead upstream Thanks, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Printer error again
by Donn Washburn 18 Jan '10

18 Jan '10

Hey Group; I have been fighting a printer not printing error for month on a openSuSE 11.2 and 11.3 box. I have reduced the errors down to one hurdle left. Enclosed is a short error file /var/log/cups/error.log about 30 lines which I feel contains the error. I just don't relate to it. The printer does not have any wait times set. I feel it may be a permission type problem because it works in Fedora 12. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb(a)comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316

[opensuse-factory] In a world without xorg.conf
by Robert Schweikert 15 Jan '10

15 Jan '10

Hi, I do not want to re-heat the discussion about the disappearance of sax2 and the automatic configuration of the X server. However, I do have a questions. In this brave new world how would one disable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace key sequence? Previously adding Option "DontZap" "yes" to the Serverflags section did the trick, AFAIK. Not having xorg.conf makes this a bit difficult.
