[opensuse-factory] ADOL-C
by Kshitij Kulshreshtha 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Hello, I am currently maintaining the library ADOL-C hosted at [1], and would like to see it included in the next openSUSE distribution. The library enables a user to write C/C++ programs (or any other language that can link with C/C++) for evaluating first and higher order derivatives of scalar and vector valued functions at very little additional cost (small constant factor) than the function evaluations themselves, even for high dimensional functions. The library implements the theory of Algorithmic Differentiation as described in [2]. We distribute the library optionally under the GPLv2 or the CPL. The library has been used and tested in recent years by a number of people who are interested in numerical modelling and optimisation, and has been included in the Debian distribution for some time [3]. I have prepared a package in the openSUSE Build Service and submitted it to the devel:libraries:c_c++ project. Please consider including it into openSUSE:Factory. Thanks and regards.

[opensuse-factory] How to get R-base into Factory?
by Detlef Steuer 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Hi all! yesterday I received a request to put R-base (the statistics package) into Factory. Another package named Cantor seems to depend on R in Factory. I'm willing to put R into Factory and keep it current and running in there. But: I was totally unaware of "Factory" as something different from building against opensuse:Factory what I do all the time. I read the available documents but a few questions remain: Do I need a _new_, additional repository for R-base? It lives in devel:languages:R and its subprojects now. Or can I just use that and send osc submitrequests after someone (who?) accepts R-base into Factory. One problem I see with R-base is the release schedule. Is there any problem in releasing the latest R as I do now? Normally we have releases around Oct 16th and April 16th. At the moment I am providing the latest R to all Suse-releases on which it compiles. I understand the reasoning behind keeping the version number fixed following a release, but I would expect that happens more or less through freezing for GM and all other developement untouched? Is this correct? What to do now? My plan regarding R-base would be to wait till R-2.12.0 is released (Oct 16th) and afterwards put some effort to clean up the build process (there are some warnings etc ...) and at the same time get it into Factory. Can you give any advise from your side what is easiest (and best) to get it into Factory? Detlef -- Neu: GMX De-Mail - Einfach wie E-Mail, sicher wie ein Brief!

[opensuse-factory] Digest verification failed errors
by Tony Jones 30 Sep '10

I started seeing these yesterday. Brandon told me he's seen them also. Initially I was using mirrors.kernel.org so I switched to the slower download.opensuse.org figuring the mirror process had messed up but I'm still seeing them.

[opensuse-factory] xulrunner/firefox split revisited
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

Hi, a few years ago I have driven an effort to split the Firefox package in openSUSE so that Firefox is a pretty small addon based on the xulrunner packages. We already had a xulrunner package at that time to satisfy consumers/applications which want to embed Gecko and to be able to run XUL applications designed to run under xulrunner. Back then I stripped out almost all duplication from the Firefox package and based it on xulrunner. That went fairly well up to Firefox 3.6 now but starting with Firefox 4 Mozilla did some heavy changes to Firefox' extension and chrome system which makes it very hard to do it as we did. Some things are just impossible and we would need to configure Firefox differently as upstream does to keep compatibility with the above app design. One difference you can notice right now with the Firefox 4 betas I ship is that localization doesn't work anymore which is one outcome of the changes. Another feature (omnijar; performance related) is currently disabled because it's not possible with our structure. Because of all the above I'm thinking about taking back that split and ship Firefox as (almost) static build again. I don't want to drop the xulrunner packages as they still make sense though. That also shouldn't be a problem of maintenance since we already had to keep xulrunner and firefox exactly in sync and built from the same sources. Basically the only thing which is affected is the size of the package but I _think_ going from 1MB to 10MB (something like that) will kill our installation media? This is more or less just a heads up to give people the chance to raise their voice or concerns since it might be possible to keep it as it is with some constraints (and unfortunately some ongoing work to keep up with upstream). Any comments? Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] LibreOffice
by Refilwe Seete 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

LibreOffice: We're switching, yes? If so, testers look forward to it by M3? I assume at this early stage there is little difference (user-facing) between LO and OOo other than branding. But it would be good to know for bug reporting purposes. Last, are we looking at xOffice 3.3 or 3.2.1 in the end? Given our freeze dates I assume things are heading for 3.3 but with this recent shift upstream I'd like to get some clarity.

[opensuse-factory] Submited request using osc for dar package update - what else do I need to do?
by Tim Edwards 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

About 3 weeks ago I branched the dar package from the Archiving project. I updated it to the latest version and got it working, and submitted a request following the instructions here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Collaboration I'm new to the process so is there anything else I need to do? The factory Archiving project still hasn't been updated. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=dar&project=home%3Atk83%3Ab… Thanks Tim Edwards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

The who command does not show me on my xterm and konsole session, it seems that utmp is not written on my factory system. Any ideas why not or how to debug this?

[opensuse-factory] Kernel 2.6.36 & VMware
by Dominique Leuenberger 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

Hi everybody, Just a heads up in case somebody relies on VMware and is 'toying' with Factory: Kernel 2.6.36-rc3 hit Factory these days and VMware is not yet able to cope with the latest changes; the various modules fail to build (again). So in case you require vmware to work, better stay a few more days with the 2.6.34 kernel. Probably not too long to wait until an update appears.
