[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed for 11.3 is now closed
by Greg KH 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Hi, As the repos for 11.4 are now open for syncing from, I've disabled the tumbleweed repo, and am redoing it for 11.4 at this moment. So I recommend disabling your tumbleweed repo, updating to 11.4, and then waiting until later today when the tumbleweed repo has been synced up to 11.4 packages. I'll do an announcement when that happens as well. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] New libevent going to hit Factory soon
by Dominique Leuenberger a.k.a DimStar 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

(X-Post to Factory and Packaging to hopefully reach all the interested parties) Hi, I just prepared an update for libevent [1] from version 1.4.14b to 2.0.10. This is a major step in the development of libevent and is considered API and ABI incompatible. Whereas ABI is surely true (at least a rebuild against the new lib is requireed), there has been some effort by the upstream maintainers to keep a good bunch of the deprecated API around, even though it is highly discouraged to be … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] syslog-ng 3.3 packages for testing
by Peter Czanik 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Hello, As co-maintainer of syslog-ng for openSUSE, I started preparations for the syslog-ng 3.3 release. This is due to a major change in syslog-ng: it is becoming multi-threaded, bringing a performance boost to an already fast application. While I and many others use it on production machines, be aware, that this is still an alpha release. Packages are available for openSUSE 11.3, 11.4 and Factory. If you have a chance, please try it and share your experiences! For details, please check http:… [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed package submissions
by Atri Bhattacharya 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Hi! I would like to submit packages TeXmaker [1] and TeXworks [2] for consideration for inclusion in Tumbleweed. Both of these are LaTeX editor front-ends all of whose dependencies are satisfied by packages from the oss repository (for openSUSE 11.4). New versions of both these applications have come out since 11.4 was released and I have packaged these updates already. I will be grateful for comments, suggestions, etc. Thanks -- Atri [1] https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=… [View More]

Most parts of boost are header-only so there's no problem. And those parts that need compiled libraries have the full version number in their SONAMES i.e. each version is binary incompatible.

[opensuse-factory] Drop update-alternatives support from Sun Java and openjdk
by Michal Vyskocil 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Hi all, I'm considering drop of update-alternatives [1] support from our Java packages - mainly java-1_6_0-openjdk and java-1_6_0-sun (the gcj will follow, but no one is really interesting on it). I assume there is no real use case to have more than one implementation installed these days and in fact this system produces confusions for users wanting replace openjdk's plugin implementation by Sun's one (that's the ony one reason for switch I'd to say).

[opensuse-factory] Coping with the recent Boost update
by Philipp Thomas 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Boost 1.46.0 was checked into factory not long ago (and will get an update to 1.46.1 in the next days). The main change that wasn't mentioned in the changes and thus escaped me was that beginning with 1.46.0 boost::filesystem will switch its default API from v2 to v3 (see http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/filesystem/v3/doc/index.htm) This will cause packages that use boost::filesystem and that don't support v3 to fail. There are three possible ways to fix the breakage: 1) Adapt the … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Looking for a cmake guru
