[opensuse-factory] openFATE 312364 Mobile Broadband Wizard
by Roger Luedecke 20 May '11

20 May '11

https://features.opensuse.org/312364 I have made this feature request. I feel that something like this is critical. Though I am not the most saavy user, I have always been able to resolve a problem eventually. However this one i have been forced to concede defeat. A Wizard allowing easy setup and use of my mobile broadband would be greatly welcome, and I doubt I am the only user in this boat especially since netbooks are becoming more popular. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+… [View More]

[opensuse-factory] rpmlint status update
by Ludwig Nussel 20 May '11

20 May '11

Hi, Heads up and status update from the rpmlint front. rpmlint will soon be updated to version 1.2 in Factory. It brings one check that could turn out to be annoying: 'incorrect-fsf-address' warns about outdated or misspelled fsf addresses in files. That's usually something for upstream to fix. We'll see how many packages it catches. A new SUSE specific check warns about init scripts for runlevel 4. That runlevel is supposed to be admin defined so distro packages should not use it.

[opensuse-factory] On the insanity of the licensedigger bot
by Cristian Rodríguez 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi: This fine piece of software keeps blindly rejecting package submissions for no reason whatsoever,license names that have been accepted for years now are instantly rejected,without human intervention. Will be cool if at least packages remain in state review after the bot has failed its dubious heuristics,so a human can look into it, instead of annoying developers at large.

Hi, I just submitted mls' perl 5.14 after checking the build failures in devel:languages:perl together with mls.

[opensuse-factory] New FATE#312321: drop blowfish and switch to sha512 as default hash
by Thorsten Kukuk 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi, long time ago, when glibc did only support DES crypt(), we added libxcrypt with blowfish support to have a better default hash for local accounts. Meanwhile, glibc supports sha256 and sha512, thus I filled FATE#312321 to change the default password hash to sha512, drop blowfish from YaST2 and remove libxcrypt from the distribution to avoid maintaining the same code twice. As result, you cannot create new password hashes with blowfish, but as long as we have the glibc patch, you can still … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] xfprint&mousepad status (Tumbleweed broken packages)
by Jiri Slaby 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi, these packages are broken in Tumbleweed: mousepad xfce4-panel-plugin-xfapplet xfprint It looks like all of them were deleted from factory (and moved to openSUSE:Dropped). As we have the latest xfce in Tumbleweed, I think those should be removed from Tumbleweed too, right? thanks, -- js suse labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Unicode support differs between python and python3
by Michal Vyskocil 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi all, I noticed a difference in unicode support between python and python3. The first one is built with ucs4 support, the later with ucs2 support. That means python3 behaves differently with characters up to 65535 (2**16-1), because with UCS2 support it returns two characters. $ python -c 'print(len(unichr((2**16-1))))' 1 $ python -c 'print(len(unichr((2**16+10))))' 1 $ python3 -c 'print(len(chr((2**16-1))))' 1 $ python3 -c 'print(len(chr((2**16+10))))' 2 I am not sure if this difference … [View More]

Hi all, Any vague chance of getting the patch of Roumen Petrov applied? http://roumenpetrov.info/openssh/#features With this patch, one can enjoy the security feautures supplied digital certificates (crl, ocsp, ...), like the one's used by openssl, apache, openvpn, strongswan etc etc. pki support has been included for a long time in the commercial branch of ssh, but (i think) due to the conservative nature of the people of openbsd, who still seems to be in control of openssh, this patch … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Desktop notifier for AppArmor
by Roger Luedecke 16 May '11

16 May '11

Even SELinux has this. It is bad news for people unfamiliar with AppArmor if it decides to block something. The average casual home user will find the e-mail notification not only complicated, but largely unnecessary. The YaST modules make AppArmor management relatively simple, now we just need to make knowing they need to be used simple. Should I add this in openFATE also? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Is darcs in Factory really for 11.4?
by Randall A Sindlinger 09 May '11

09 May '11

Hello, We have some folks using darcs under OpenSuSE 11.2, from the build service. We're preparing for the annual upgrade to 11.4, but there is no darcs there. However, there is a Factory version in devel:tools:scm/openSUSE_Factory Did the darcs package miss getting moved to 11.4 in OBS, or is it still actually in development?

[opensuse-factory] hugin added to Tumbleweed
by Greg KH 08 May '11

Due to a mixup in my email system here, someone had asked me to add Hugin to Tumbleweed, but I lost their email (too many different devices all accessing the same imap server makes for a mess at times). So, just a general announcement that I've added hugin and libpano to Tumbleweed at the request of that person. 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] Tumbleweed and KSplice
by R. Tyler Croy 08 May '11

I've been testing and using Tumbleweed (with the intent on reviewing and recommending it on omgsuse.com) for a couple of weeks now and I've noticed a couple things: * LibreOffice seems to be updated ... all the time * Kernel updates *screw things up* for users I've run into the scenario a couple of times where my `zypper dup --from Tumbleweed` upgrades my kernel, and then before I can get around to a reboot, I need to log onto VPN or mount a FAT32 device.

[opensuse-factory] Enabling haveged by default?
by Jeff Mahoney 07 May '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all - I just removed the network device entropy-generating patches from the kernel repo. They had to be explicitly enabled for use and were consistently refused for upstream acceptance. With no better hardware entropy source, they kept the pool full but are prone to third party manipulation via packet flooding. I noticed that since 11.4, we have installed haveged by default. Might it be a good idea to enable it by default as well? Perhaps … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] RFC: forbid _service files
by Stephan Kulow 05 May '11

05 May '11

Hi, After a series of broken packages because of _service files I would like to forbid them in openSUSE:Factory. So far I've seen the use of _service files in factory as an experiment (I happily joined), but I see this experiment as failed. What I would like to propose is: - ban recompress, download and tarscm as _services (everything else should have been banned before) - instead we verify the Source urls and make packages that have invalid URLs "broken", so you can't SR them to … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed KDE problems being reverted
by Greg KH 05 May '11

05 May '11

Hi all, Well, so much for the KDE update in Tumbleweed. Due to some problems with it (i.e. I messed up and accidentally updated some packages to the 4.6.3 version while the rest were at 4.6.2), I've reverted it all, so soon everyone will see a big "downgrade" to the openSUSE 11.4 version of the KDE packages. I'll watch the 4.6.3 update and wait for that to settle down before adding it to Tumbleweed again. Sorry for the churn, but hey, due to the magic of zypper, this all "just works" even … [View More]

Howdy folks, As of today, the KDE packages in Tumbleweed seem to be incomplete and/or some of them obsolete. Upon wanting to 'zypper dup' I found two packages making trouble: * libqt4-sql 4.7.3 (required by libqt4-sql-mysql 4.7.3, which is present in the repo). Tumbleweed repo carries libqt4-sql 4.7.2. * konqueror-plugins-lang 4.6.1, not present. Please provide this or any other version to match konqueror-plugins 4.6.1 present in the repo.

[opensuse-factory] GCC 4.6 for 12.1
by Jeff Mahoney 05 May '11

05 May '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all - I know someone else mentioned this briefly WRT to Tumbleweed, but I'd like to bring up for discussion the adoption of gcc 4.6 for Factory. A bit of background. We currently maintain a kernel-trace flavor to allow people to make use of the tracing facilities. Historically, there has been overhead associated with these, which is why they were in their own flavor. Most users don't care about them, so there's no sense in slowing everyone … [View More]down to satisfy them. Over time, the maintainers of these facilities have worked to lower the overhead to the point where now dynamic ftrace only adds memory overhead. It uses gcc's profiling facility to call out to a function at the beginning of every function call to allow tracking. At boot, this is a function that returns immediately but during the boot process those calls are hot-patched to nop operations so that they carry virtually zero runtime overhead. This sounds great, right? There's one last bit, and that is actually the reason why ftrace is still disabled in our regular kernel flavors. The compiler's profiling feature calls the profiling function after the function prologue. That means that the stack pointer has already been advanced and since it can advance a different amount based on the needs of each function, we don't have an easy way to get the caller's stack frame back. It's needed to resolve where the caller was called from and the only way to do that is to dedicate a register to track the start of the current stack frame. Dedicating a register for this increases register contention and forces more accesses to CPU cache or main memory, slowing everything down. So, it's not worth it when most users will never actually take advantage of the feature that requires it. For some time, I've been trying to come up with ways to work around this so that the fast path stays fast and the tracing path takes any performance hit necessary. Until recently, the performance hit would've been too big to make it worthwhile. With gcc 4.6, we have the -mfentry option which moves the call to the profiling function *before* the function's prologue. This means that the caller's stack frame is still intact and we can resolve the caller's parent without issue. I've spent the past few days working up a proof of concept that takes advantage of this and doesn't require a dedicated register. It turns out that Steven Rostedt has already posted a patch set to do exactly this and he's targeting 2.6.40 for inclusion in the mainline kernel. For now it looks like it's x86-64 only but it should be ok for i386 as well. This would go a long way to eliminate the -trace flavor from our kernel packages. The benefits are multiple: It eliminates the maintenance of another kernel flavor, but it also allows everyone to use tracing facilities without installing a separate kernel release to do so. One last bit is needed, though, and that is for gcc to allow using -pg - -mfentry with -fomit-frame-pointers. Once that bit is taken care of then we can rid the kernel of the frame pointer requirement for ftrace and eliminate the -trace flavor entirely. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk263RwACgkQLPWxlyuTD7JhyQCfXcCcDjH0dYmnoguTCe+7J2FH YWkAn3+K1qintX3acivGSmUYCDVnDuqi =3BMz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org [View Less]
