[opensuse-factory] 12.1 updates on security mailing list?
by John McInnes 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

Several updates have been pushed out for 12.1, but I haven't seen any mention of them on the security-announce mailing list. In the meantime there have been announcements for 11.3, 11.4, and SLES. -johnm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] VLC from KDE4 Factory repo vs Packman?
by C 13 Dec '11

13 Dec '11

Just curious... does the VLC that we can install from the openSUSE Factory repo actually play anything? I was beating my head against the wall here today trying to figure out why VLC was unable to play anything on my openSUSE 12.1 install. Normally VLC is the be-all-play-all application on any OS. I tried everything I could think of until it hit me to check where it was installed from... and it was installed from the KDE4 playground Factory repo. I switched over to the VLC from Packman all all my multimedia started working again. This leads me to ask... since VLC in the Factory repo is so severely crippled that it appears to be completely unusable, why is anyone even bothering to put it in there? I understand (and hate) the whole argument around codecs etc... that's not what I am asking here... If the player cannot be used for the vast majority of the videos is it worth the time and effort of including it in Factory?

[opensuse-factory] SuSEconfig nohelp
by Felix Miata 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

Usage message and man page both refer to "modules", but provide no apparent way to discover what modules exist. How is one supposed to discover what this utility does and can do? The usual switches --help, --? -? -help, -module <emptystring>. The only things it does that are obvious to me are fonts and permissions, though not their module names. Does it do anything else? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-factory] debugfs mounted by default - necessary?
by Marcus Meissner 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Hi, is it necessary that "debugfs" is mounted by default? It exposes too much of the kernel readable (and so potentially exploitable) to the non-root user.

[opensuse-factory] changes to Factory w/o devel project
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 07 Dec '11

07 Dec '11

Hi, did I miss a note? Why are Factory packages changed w/o going through the devel project again? This is very annoying as my workflow is not to track Factory and do my modifications but Factory is the last step in my workflow where changes end up. And even worse I wouldn't know about the changes at all if I wouldn't monitor opensuse-commit@. So my next submit to *:Factory and later on to openSUSE:Factory would just revert the changes (if Factory maintainers wouldn't notice what they probably would).

[opensuse-factory] Python import error
by Ilya Chernykh 07 Dec '11

07 Dec '11

Hi! Under 12.1 I get: ImportError: could not import gobject (could not find _PyGObject_API object) when running any Python application. The Yast package manager does not report any dependency problem or conflict. Could this be a bug or it is as expected? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] default assignees for 12.2
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 07 Dec '11

07 Dec '11

Hi, seems that bugzilla setup for 12.2 is still broken. There are still components in 12.2 which default to bnc-team-mozilla@ while _only_ the "Firefox" component should point there. See also https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=732511 Could someone from SUSE please make sure this gets fixed?

How does one run something at the end of the boot process in systemd, i.e. previously things that were put in boot.local?

[opensuse-factory] libgadu and kdenetwork
by todd rme 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

I have been trying to get kdenetwork to detect libgadu for gadu protocol support without success. libgadu is available, and it is in the buildrequires. Here is the cmake message: -- checking for module 'libgadu' -- found libgadu, version 1.11.0 -- Found LIBGADU: /usr/lib64/libgadu.so grep: /usr/local/include/libgadu.h: No such file or directory -- libgadu must be compiled with pthreads support Note that libgadu IS being built with pthreads support enabled. Also note that cmake appears to be searching /usr/local/include/. Include files are not installed there, they are installed in /usr/include/, and kdenetwork is told to search in /usr/include, it searches in /usr/include for every other package it needs, and libgadu.pc says to look in /usr/include. I looked at the cmakelists.txt files and couldn't find anything obviously wrong. Does anyone have any ideas what might be going on here? -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello, I'm in relation with the author of EKD (http://ekd.tuxfamily.org/index.php/Main/AccueilEnglish) - we are both french and videographers. I can't find it on OBS is it somewhere? if not I can package it. I have no packager experience, but there is already a rpm available on the author web site and the program is python, so this should not be too difficult. this programm needs ffmpeg2theora that I don't find. I may be able to package it also. is there any where a home for this program? May I package it in obs? or in packman? thanks jkdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
