[opensuse-factory] syslog-ng apparmor question
by Peter Czanik 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

Hello, I'm trying to package syslog-ng 3.2-git, and ran into some troubles. V3.2 has an interesting new feature, called SCL (system configuration library), which tries to ease syslog-ng configuration. This works nicely when apparmor is disabled. SCL uses a script to generate part of the configuration. So, when system(); is used in syslog-ng.conf, it actually calls a script, which generates the missing parts based on the OS. In case of Linux, it's: linux-6y8u:~ # /usr/share/syslog-ng/include/… [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Fwd: observed significant performance improvement in XFS a real-world application
by Linda Walsh 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

Forward this from the linux-xfs list, in hoping that decision-makers will consider XFS as the default suse OS install choice. It continually bests other file systems in optimized configuration performance tests and these new improvements sound like they only add more speed to the equation. For nearly all systems, disk speed is the bottle neck, so using the best solution possible should be strongly considered the default choice for all users -- regardless of 'political' concerns (which seem … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] glibc plans for 11.4
by Petr Baudis 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

Hi! My original plan has been to have glibc-2.13 in 11.4, however it is still completely unclear when will it be actually released. In case it is not soon enough, I would prefer to stay with glibc-2.11 in 11.4 instead of upgrading to glibc-2.12. Downsides are not terribly huge: - Missing these: * New interfaces: pthread_getname_np, pthread_setname_np * New Linux interface: recvmmsg * STT_GNU_IFUNC implemented for Sparc by David Miller. * The dynamic linker now recognizes supported … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] pullin-msttf-fonts doesn't work
by Werner LEMBERG 20 Nov '10

20 Nov '10

In factory, installing pullin-msttf-fonts-11.4-1.8 doesn't trigger the installation of the MS TTFs. There is a line Recommends: fetchmsttfonts in the RPM but this script seems to be missing.

[opensuse-factory] getting patch2mail into Factory
by Christian Boltz 20 Nov '10

20 Nov '10

Hello, I'll send a SR to include patch2mail in Factory in some minutes. Some information about the package according to http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:How_to_contribute_to_Factory : > the name and purpose patch2mail is a small script that sends a mail to root if new patches are available. It runs via cron.daily. On the technical side, it uses "zypper --xmlout lu -t patch" and xsltproc to make the output human-readable. > how long has it been around? It's in the Contrib repo … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Libraw1394-8 and the state of linux h323 and other telephony [RFC]
by Dave Plater 20 Nov '10

20 Nov '10

Hi, I innocently updated a very old libraw1394 a month and a half ago, realizing that a lot depended on it I was careful to try not to break the system but it seems it was like cleaning a mark on the wall to find out that the wall was rotten under the paint layer. I'm assuming that VoIP telephony isn't messed with because it just works but all of the associated software, with the exception of h323plus and GNOME:Factory opal (VoIP) which has updated to the latest since the libraw1394 update. I … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Firefox 4 plans for Factory
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

Hi, I've been preparing Firefox 4 since quite some time in mozilla:beta (and previously :alpha) and I run it everywhere meanwhile. The initial Firefox roadmap said it would have been ready by october this year but was slipped to something "early 2011" https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/4/Beta which would still fit into the openSUSE 11.4 release. There are still some issues and quite some not updated extensions but to get proper testing I think it makes sense to go for Firefox 4 in Factory soon. … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Adding mintmenu to openSUSE
by William Witt 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

I've been packaging mintmenu (for both SUSE and Fedora) for a while on my own using my home project on OBS. I'd now like to go about getting it included in the openSUSE repositories. For those that don't know, mintmenu is the default menu from Linux Mint, it's written in python and distributed under GPLv2. While it's uses pygtk, and is primarily used in gnome, it can be used in other desktop environments also (I've used it in it's own window with OpenBox and FluxBox). It provides a list of … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Building kernel modules for Factory fails
by Stephan Kleine 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

Hi, I noticed that all my modules built for factory currently fail with: RPM build errors: File not: found: /usr/src/packages/BUILDROOT/r8168-8.020.00-1.1.i386/lib/modules/Updating- xen File must begin with "/": 2.6.36-18 Which doesn't make much sense to me since I, naturally, don't have a %files section in my .spec. Examples are e.g. the stuff in "drivers:nic". Is that a bug or was there some change regarding how to build kernel modules? regards, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-… [View More]
