[opensuse-factory] new packages: libdbi & libdbi-drivers
by Peter Czanik 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

Hello, I'd like to add two packages to Factory, libdbi and libdbi-drivers. Both were already available in Contrib, moving them to factory would enable me to add database support to syslog-ng. URL : http://libdbi.sourceforge.net/ Summary : Database Independent Abstraction Layer for C Description : libdbi implements a database-independent abstraction layer in C, similar to the DBI/DBD layer in Perl. Writing one generic set of code, programmers can leverage the power of multiple databases and multiple simultaneous database connections by using this framework. And libdbi-drivers provides the actual drivers for different databases (sqlite3, mysql, pgsql). Both packages were around for a very long time and worked without any problems so far. I tested it with syslog-ng and logging to database worked fine using libdbi and libdbi-drivers.

As far as I can see is it good tested. what is the upstream project? Upstream project : http://code.google.com/p/autokey/ does it have a track record of security issues? Nope, but I has a issues page see this page : http://code.google.com/p/autokey/issues/list what is the purpose of having it in the distribution? I myself use it to put answers on a fora so people can get rid of malware. So you can use it for desktop automation so for task which are very often the same. who are its users?

Hello, I want to put the package autokey into Tumbleweed. But according to Greg autokey is not accepted in Factory. I have made a SR for this package to x11:common Factory which is accepted. Which steps do I have to take to get this package accepted ?

Yes, this must be included and as I experience right now this step must be a hard one. Even for a package accepted in debian I'm waiting for roughly 3 weeks now in legal review. Coolo is very friendly in giving feedback on questions, I guess he would share our feelings about legal departments .... But for a new (to factory) contributor it feels on my side like the moment when "they" take your passport, take a deep look into your eyes and silently walk away without any hint what they plan to do or how long it may take. And another milestone passes by ... That's the relly bad part. I'm really wondering how the bug-reports from the legal department will look like.

[opensuse-factory] Multiple Firefox versions possible from usual repos?
by Felix Miata 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

Firefox 4.0b and SeaMonkey 2.1b have adopted a new "standard"/broken behavior to fix a 0.75:1 ratio between pt and px, copying IE8/Webkit/Opera inane behavior. For some purposes, this definitely breaks things. Consequently, the older version is needed until an opt out for the new broken behavior is implemented, if ever that may occur. Is it possible to keep FF3.6.13 and add FF4.0b? I tried modifying zypp.conf to add ,provides:multiversion(MozillaFirefox), but 'zypper in MozillaFirefox' wants to upgrade Firefox rather than installing it. Is keeping both possible? Is my zypp.conf syntax wrong? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-factory] Firefox 3.6.12 crashes
by Hans-Peter Jansen 13 Dec '10

13 Dec '10

Hi, I have to handle a (now outdated) diskless openSUSE 11.1 desktop installation of about 30 systems in a company network. One of the customizations is Firefox 3.6.12 from the mozilla repo, consisting of MozillaFirefox-3.6.12-1.2, mozilla-xulrunner192-1.9.2.12-1.2, ... Kernel is a 2.6.31.13 also based on the openSUSE trees on gitorious. Unfortunately, I'm getting complains of Firefox crashing often during the day without any user interaction, just displaying occasionly updated sites (without flash content), and I do suffer from these crashes, too. A few data points: Previous versions from that repo doesn't show this behavior. In that installation, only Firefox, flash and acrobat reader were updated lately, everything else was being kept as is for a few month running (rock solid!), therefor I can say, that this problem is triggered by changes in firefox related packages. For the record, these are the latest changes: acroread-9.4-0.1.1 Di 16 Nov 2010 13:50:26 flash-player-10.1.102.64-0.1.1 Di 16 Nov 2010 13:48:57 MozillaFirefox-translations-common-3.6.12-1.2 Di 16 Nov 2010 13:37:12 MozillaFirefox-3.6.12-1.2 Di 16 Nov 2010 13:37:07 mozilla-kde4-integration-0.6.2-14.2 Di 16 Nov 2010 13:37:05 mozilla-xulrunner192-translations-common-1.9.2.12-1.2 Di 16 Nov 2010 13:37:03 mozilla-xulrunner192-1.9.2.12-1.2 Di 16 Nov 2010 13:36:59 libnsssharedhelper0-1.0.9-1.8 Di 16 Nov 2010 13:36:49 mozilla-nss-3.12.8-4.1 Di 16 Nov 2010 13:36:48 libsoftokn3-3.12.8-4.1 Di 16 Nov 2010 13:36:47 mozilla-js192-1.9.2.12-1.2 Di 16 Nov 2010 13:36:46 mozilla-nss-certs-3.12.8-4.1 Di 16 Nov 2010 13:36:45 libfreebl3-3.12.8-4.1 Di 16 Nov 2010 13:36:44 mozilla-nspr-4.8.6-1.1 Di 16 Nov 2010 13:36:41 gpg-pubkey-ee454f98-4c58185b Di 16 Nov 2010 13:35:37 gpg-pubkey-766da614-4c57f9d9 Di 16 Nov 2010 13:35:26 gpg-pubkey-1abd1afb-4c97c60c Di 16 Nov 2010 13:34:54 gpg-pubkey-7c99e700-4c4eba16 Di 16 Nov 2010 13:34:46 Last night, I've kept Firefox running under gdb control with just the build system monitor (where I was logged in) and a few of my project pages.

[opensuse-factory] openfate / feature 310964 (openvpn-config)
by Hans Witvliet 13 Dec '10

13 Dec '10

Hi, I wanted to give some more weight on feature 310964 (openvpn-config). So i tried to login onto feature,opensuse.org, but all i immediately get (on an old firefox) is: "error establishing an encrypted connection to static.opensuse,org, error code -8048" My first assumption, was that i had my firewall too tight, but after putting it for a moment wide-open, the error remainded. =================================================================== Currently it says: Description Many people today use an OpenVPN server to access their personal networks or networks at work. The set up of an OpenVPN server is complex also, as several adjustments must be made at various points in the system. e.g. OpenVPN Configfile, SUSEFirewall, /etc/sysconfig Files. A module would make it easier to set up a OpenVPNserver. =================================================================== Allthough the setting-up of a _single_ vpn (openvpn/ipsec) seems a hard job to do at first, it is doable. Allthough a simpe yast-module might be very much welcomed by inexperienced users. On the other hand, if you have to maintain a lot of tunnels, 100, 1000, more (...) you have a much bigger challenge. When having to maintain this amount of tunnels, works breaks down, imho, into following ereas: - certificate management - maintaining tunnel parameters (easy deployment from template) - security-settings (iptables, ebtables, apparrmor, ...) - guarding tunnelconditions (up/down, saturation) I am not talking about the management of client/server-certificates, as there are enough good product dealing with that aspect (yaST-CA, ejbca rhcs) And tunnel conditions can be guarded with products like OpenNMS. But the vast amount of parameters (ta-keys, routing, compressions, ...) that have to be maintained for roadwarriors or site/site connections is a much bigger problem. Much to my colleage's surprise there isn't even a commercial package for handling this. I tried to get people interested from fwbuilder, as it could be another module in their framework, but they declined. So my request, if somebody is going to spent a thought on it, make it usable for more than a single vpn-connection. hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
