Dear Packagers,
during the time from the 24th Dec 2011 until 08th Jan 2012
(Christmas/New Year´s Eve) many teams and departments inside the SUSE
Linux Products GmbH will be on vacation or can only offer limited
services. This affects also the "autobuild-team" you might know as
reviewers for your packages submitted to Factory (and other released
distributions).
While some of us are still in the office to get the most annoying
and security bugs fixed and out to you as our customers, most of us are
using this period to spend some time aside of computers and with their
friends and families.
As result, packages in openSUSE:Factory might stay a bit longer in the
"review" state as you can expect in normal times. Please be not so angry
with us in this case - just do the same and use this time for
regeneration and preparation for the upcoming openSUSE year.
We wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Ah: and remember to have a lot of fun! ;-)
Lars

is there a reason for updating to 7.11.1 other than the version number? if so,
file a bugreport and NEEDINFO maintenance(a)opensuse.org to see if we can ship
this as a regular update.

same here (note a big swoop of updates have just been released that are
related to KDE).

this will come pretty soon anyway as an update.
Greetings,
Dirk

Hello,
I would put Ludwig Nussel's points from -packaging up for discussion.

The request mentioned above has been merged manually to
devel:openSUSE:Factrory:rpmlint / rpmlint by dirkmueller and the change is now
pending to be added to openSUSE:Factory - #97074
The packages indirectly involved are network / tor and openSUSE:Factory / tor.
Debian uses "debian-tor". The upstream sources specify: "_tor" in a sample
spec file, other online examples use tor_d / daemon for the uid/gid.
I agree in general that there is potential for conflicts. This, however, is
not a new problem with "tor", but also with "amanda" and "jonas" which were
already registered and are obviously far more popular. These are legacy and
Ludwig proposed guidelines for new packages only.
I don't see an immediate packaging issue, but as this is a new package to
factory I am willing to update if there is consensus in -factory as to rules
for the naming of daemon users for new packages, or at least regarding this
particular package.
With kind regards,
Andreas Stieger

Hi,
I found some of my packages failing in Factory because of the new
conflicting files check.
While I think this is basically a "good" check I found that in my case
it makes sense.
ERROR: /usr/lib/xulrunner-9 is packaged in both mozilla-js and
xulrunner, and the packages do not conflict
I've thought about doing it differently for a moment but still I think
this is the correct way of packaging in that case.
Also I remember we have tons of packages installing the same directories
because it just makes sense but this.
Therefore the question how can I disable that check and if I cannot, I'd
need a recommendation what to do instead.
Thanks,
Wolfgang

Is it normal that many packages now fail at call to update-desktop-files?

Howdy all,
*Before* reading my mail, please note: openSUSE 11.4 ran perfect on my
machine, after the upgrade to 12.1, networkmanager doesn't run at all.I
can't connect to my router anymore (which worked yesterday, even with 12.1).
The result is a completely angry user, who just wants his sane and
working 11.4-like system back. Please excuse my offending mail, but I'm
boiling totally.
My problem:
After the upgrade, NetworkManager doesn't ran anymore. I did some
searching and fixed the problem. Now, today, I started my machine but NM
can't connect anymore. It just says something like:
Wait for authorization
On 11.4 it used to be KWallet which asked my a password for NM. With
12.1 it's a KDE-su like one.
Does anyone else has the problem? I'm writing from my notebook because
my workstation isn't connected anymore.
Please, can you help me?
thanks,
--kdl

Hi all,
I got a bug about icedtea-web is not installed by default
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737105
I am sure that instead of relying on patterns, the problem can be solved
very easily in icedtea-web package itself
Supplements: packageand($BROWSER:java-openjdk)
will push the package when browser and JRE is installed. However what is
the $BROWSER? To my suprise we have 8(!) different browsers in Factory
atm. But maintaing a list of several changing (security team might
decide 8 more or less unmaintained browsers is too much) Supplements
does not sound sexy for me, so I wrote a FATE#313084 Universal rpm
symbol for browsers
https://features.opensuse.org/313084
In short I propose add
1.) One common symbol for all browsers 'browser', 'browser-plugin', or 'browser(plugin)'
2.) Rendering engine specific one 'gecko' or 'browser(gecko)', 'webkit'
and 'presto'
Please share your opinion here or in the FATE.
Thanks
Michal Vyskocil
