[opensuse-factory] Cronie as default cron in Factory
by Michal Seben 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Hi all! Next week I will move cronie[1] package to Factory, so it will replace old cron. If someone is against this step, please just write what's wrong. As I announced earlier, you could find Cronie in Base:System repo [2] there is also prepared wiki about known changes after switch to cronie [3] [1]https://fedorahosted.org/cronie/ [2]https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=cronie&project=Base%3ASys… [3]http://en.opensuse.org/Cron_replace#Differences_between_old_openSUSE.27s_… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] syslog-ng update
by Peter Czanik 11 Dec '10

11 Dec '10

Hello, I prepared updated syslog-ng packages with the close supervision of Marius Tomaschewski, the maintainer of the syslog-ng package. They are available in home:czanik in the openSUSE BS. I would like to see these packages included in Factory, to replace the ancient 2.0 syslog-ng, but MT seems to have disappeared (no response to e-mails in the past two weeks). Questions: - it works fine on my machines, but could anybody else test it? - what is the proper way to get syslog-ng updated in factory, if the maintainer seems to be unavailable? - I have now both 3.0 and 3.1 packages there, called syslog-ng and syslog-ng31. The ultimate goal is to include 3.1. Should I drop the current syslog-ng package and rename syslog-ng31 to syslog-ng?

[opensuse-factory] Is the upgrade from 32 bits to 64 bit supported? Question for devs O:-)
by Carlos E. R. 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm asking here a question not related to factory directly, because I want to reach the devs. You can reply on opensuse list instead if you prefer. To keep it short (longer post in the opensuse list), I'm attempting to upgrade from 11.0 to 11.2 (32 bits) using the retail DVD, wich turns out it has only the x64 version. It offers to upgrade to 64 bit the 32 bit install: The architecture of the system installed in the selected partition is different from the one of this product" [continue] [cancel] I said "continue", then I checked the package list. As far as I could see, it intended to replace all packages with those corresponding to the 64 bits version. If this works, fine... but I was afraid, and I cancelled. Not because risking data (it is a copy), but because of possible waste of time. I thought I'd better RFC. Has anybody done this, an upgrade from 32 to 64 bits? Does it work? Is it "supported"? - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse-factory] 11.3 M6 live CDs - bootup time comparison
by Lenz Grimmer 20 Jun '10

20 Jun '10

Hi, granted, it's not a very sophisticated or scientificly relevant observation, but I thought I'd share this with you, since the live CDs are likely the first thing a new user is going to try out before he decides which Linux distribution or desktop environment he'll choose. I measured the times it takes the current 11.3 M6 live systems to boot up in both VirtualBox (virtualbox-ose-3.1.4-106.2.i586) and qemu-kvm (kvm-0.11.0-4.5.2.i586) on my Thinkpad T61 (Intel Core2 Duo T8300(a)2.40GHz, 4GB RAM, running openSUSE 11.2, 32bit). I used the ISO images directly, no CD-ROM drive is involved here. I used a stop watch to measure the time from the point at which GRUB loads the kernel until the desktop is usable and fully loaded. Both virtual machines were configured to use 1GB of RAM. Out of curiosity, I also included the latest Ubuntu 10.04 release for comparison. Can anybody repeat my observation that the GNOME live-CD is much slower than the KDE one? I would have actually expected it the other way around. What also surprised me was the difference between VirtualBox and KVM. Product Time (qemu-kvm) Time (virtualbox) openSUSE-GNOME 11.3M6 0:02:17 0:03:45 openSUSE-KDE 11.3M6 0:01:40 0:02:50 kubuntu 10.04 (KDE) 0:01:35 0:01:59 ubuntu 10.04 (GNOME) 0:01:17 0:01:36 Anyway, I don't know if this is useful or if anybody actually cares about this aspect. From a "first impression" perspective, anything above 2:30 minutes feels like a very long time, especially if there is no visual feedback about what's going on - the GNOME bootup spends a lot of time in displaying a black screen with a busy cursor...

[opensuse-factory] Some rebuild statistics
by Stephan Kulow 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Hi, http://www.suse.de/~coolo/factory/ shows some statistics about the rebuildtime of factory. You can see in the graph how many packages can build in parallel and how many are waiting for others to finish. As you can see, half the rebuild time we wait for OpenOffice - but note that this is not really true in practise as the real rebuild time is not dominated by the time OpenOffice builds, but by the time the many packages that _could_ build in parallel are build in the workers we have. So even if we could rebuild all packages with unlimited workers in 24 hours, in reality it takes at least 48 hours (which is the reason we usually only do it friday to sunday). The longest path worries me a lot though, but I have no good idea how to avoid e.g. swig being behind mysql.

[opensuse-factory] Milestone 7, Laptop WLAN, Bug #591703
by Jan Ritzerfeld 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Hello! I have installed M7 on my T410s and now I am suffering from Bug #591703. I used YaST to swicth to NM and installed the firmware for WLAN (Intel 6300). When I boot with wired ethernet, everything seems to work fine: NM connects to my wired and wireless networks. However, when I boot without the wired ethernet connected, NM does not show any of the configured wireless connections and cannot connect when I try to set up the wireless connection again. Additionally, netconfig seems to conflict with NM, in /v/l/m I find: | linux dns-resolver: ATTENTION: You have modified /etc/resolv.conf. Leaving | it untouched... | linux dns-resolver: You can find my version in /etc/resolv.conf.netconfig Is there any way to fix the network setup until RC1 is released?

[opensuse-factory] mdds package in devel:libraries:c_c++
by Kohei Yoshida 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Hi there, I would like to request an addition of mdds library to the devel:libraries:c_c++ project. Mdds stands for Multi-Dimensional Data Structure, and is a collection of C++ templates that provide optimized storage and lookup of multi-dimensional data. I am the author and maintainer of this library, and I am willing to maintain this package for SUSE. I have already packaged this library, which is now sitting in my personal home project. I would like that moved into a more generic project, such as devel:libraries:c_c++. Here is where it is packaged right now: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=mdds&project=home% 3Akohei_yoshida The project home page is here: http://code.google.com/p/multidimalgorithm/ As this is my first attempt to have my package included in the SUSE distribution, any advice or hand-holding of how to get it in would be much appreciated.
