I created a merge request for desktop-data three weeks ago. It's just
a minor patch that doesn't really fix anything but a warning from
kbuildsycoca4. I'm not sure about how Gitorious works, maintainers are
supposed to notice the "1" in the merge requests section or they
receive an email notifying it?
And since I'm on it. Since I updated my 11.3 system to KDE to 4.5 the
"inline" part of the menu is not honored... Expected behavior? Known
problem?

Hi,
at the moment we seem to have the following mysql flavors in Factory:
mysql-community-server
mysql-cluster
mariadb
There might be more that I don't know about. Given that mysql is a package
that needs frequent updating (both for security and for non-security bugfix
reasons); I was wondering if it really makes sense to have multiple flavors of
it in Factory (and thereby in openSUSE 12.1). We did so in the past for 11.3
and 11.4, and noticed that this was a problem (security updates took look to
be submitted, and then they had major regressions that broke severly).
So, my question is twofold:
- is there anyone stepping up to maintain mariadb and mysql-cluster for the
full openSUSE lifetime?
- if no, who would object (and why) to dropping those variants from factory?
Note that the other flavors can still be in server:database, even built for
older distros, so those who really want it can use it.
Thanks,
Dirk

Hi all -
Since technically we're in feature freeze for 11.4, I thought I'd put
this out for discussion.
Factory is currently using 2.6.36 which was released 3 weeks ago.
Upstream versions tend to take about 10-11 weeks, on average, to
release. The scheduled release for the first openSUSE RC is Jan 20.
The scheduled release for the first RC is Jan 20. The typical
development time for a kernel release, on average, is about 10-11 weeks.
That puts the release of 2.6.37 around Dec 29 to Jan 12.
That sounds like kind of a tight window, but the reality is that the
differences in the later kernel RCs tend to be small and fix bugs. The
"real" development happens in -rc1, which was released about two weeks
ago. Later -rcs serve to stabilize the development that went into -rc1.
So, the the feature freeze aspect of it will be a one-shot, when I
update to -rc1. (Actually, I hardly ever update to -rc1 and instead use
- -rc2 which tends to be more stable).
I've already done the merge work for 2.6.37-rc1 since the master kernel
always tracks the latest upstream. Xen is the lone exception, as it
usually is, but Jan Beulich has been great about getting that completed
shortly after I do the update. This time might be a little more
difficult because much of the Xen code has been merged into the mainline
kernel so there's some sorting out to be done.
As far as testing goes, we're still early enough that we won't lose a
lot of effort. I'd update Factory to 2.6.37-rc2 as soon as it is
released upstream, which should be this week. Our usual corps of
dedicated testers can dig in quickly. In my experience, though, the
number of testers drastically increases around the RC1 release. I wish
it weren't so, but it is. So revving the kernel now isn't likely to toss
out a lot of testing.
The biggest "feature" I'm going for is not having to backport fixes from
2.6.37. The BKL removal patches and the VFS scalability patches are
going to improve performance on multicore systems. The removal of I/O
barriers should also be pretty noticeable but I haven't had time to
verify that yet.
So, opinions?
- -Jeff
Features that are going into 2.6.37:
- - The inode portion of the VFS scalability patches
- - More BKL removal, including parts of the core kernel
- - Block I/O can be throttled via cgroups
- - Simple pNFS support
- - In-kernel PPTP (tunneling) acceleration
- - "Lazy" inode table creation for ext4 to allow faster fs creation
- - Batched discard support, which allows the file system to advise the
block layer to use the TRIM command. This allows online TRIMs, but
is only implemented in ext4 so far.
- - Xen dom0 support (mostly)
- - The usual round of bug fixes.
- - fanotify
- - Block barriers have been removed[1]

[1] This is because they were a very big hammer that had a reputation
for killing performance. They're necessary for safely using journals on
devices with write caching enabled, but were implemented by flushing the
entire I/O queue to physical media -- not just "to disk" which includes
the disk's write cache. The new implementation will still use the
flush-to-media feature but will not stall the i/o queue.

I wonder whether our IPv6 settings are the right ones after reading the following article (sorry, German only):
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/IPv6-Smartphones-gefaehrden-Privatsp…
which references:
http://www.heise.de/netze/hotline/IPv6-anonym-1100727.html
We set use_tempaddr to 0 by default (disabling privacy extensions) and set it to 1
if enabled. The article advises to use 2.
Background: By default (value 0) my IPv6 address will be derived from my hardware
(macaddr) and therefore be the same independend how I connect to the internet. So,
it's easy to track my computer...
So, my proposal is to do the following two changes:
* Use 2 instead of 1 in /etc/rc.d/boot.ipconfig for enabling the privacy extensions
* Set IPV6_PRIVACY=yes in /etc/sysconfig/sysctl
Any concerns with this change?
Btw. here's an Ubuntu bugreport:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/176125
and Windows (since XP) is doing it the same way on desktops.

Hi,
xorg-x11-server in Factory is still at 1.9.3 release ; however latest stable release is in 1.10.x branch....
As feature freeze is 2 weeks away, and as an xorg update is not trivial, does that mean that openSUSE 12.1 will keep a 11 months old xorg server in november ?
I'm encountering issue with obsolete GL_PROTO extension when trying to compile Mesa from master because of that.
Regards,
Vincent

Hello,
I plan to submit PostfixAdmin to Factory. One of its dependencies is the
Zend Framework, which requires some more packages. I'd like to ask the
maintainers of these packages to submit them to Factory ;-)
The dependency tree looks like this:
php5-ZendFramework
php5-APC
php5-pear-phpunit
php5-pear-channel-phpunit
php5-pear-phpunit-DbUnit
php5-pear-phpunit-File_Iterator
php5-pear-phpunit-Object_Freezer
php5-pecl-memcache
@maintainers of these packages: can you please submit them from
server:php:extensions and :applications to Factory?
(If everything else fails, I can try to maintain them in Factory,
however my knownledge of these packages isn't as good as it should be.)
Notes:
- php5-pear-phpunit requires several php5-pear-* packages, which means
the SR will have to wait until those were accepted
- php5-ZendFramework submission needs to wait until everything else
was accepted
Thanks in advance for your help!
BTW: My temporary project home:cboltz:zend-framework (with a QA package
that BuildRequires all the above packages to check if they are
installable) might be interesting (it shows that the above list is
complete).
home:cboltz:prepare-factory can serve as a status monitor to show which
packages are still missing in factory.
Regards,
Christian Boltz

Hi,
The show stoppers we had this morning are all fixed, so in good hope that
the current checkin round will magically make everything perfect, I raised
the version to M5, so we can publish it tomorrow.
Greetings, Stephan

Hi:
I would like to propose replacing (not removing) the default command
line tools for compression, specifically "gzip" for "pigz" and "bzip2"
for pbzip2.
These tools are backward compatible and have dramatically better
performance because they do compression in parallel utilizing current
multiple CPU machines.
Possible paths to do this
a) Simple adding "update-alternatives" support to all the mentioned
tools and let the user to decide, however we install pigz and pbzip2 by
default. I do not endorse this way.
b) Building pigz with executable name "gzip" and rename gzip to
gnu-gzip, and bzip2 to bzip2.old or something similar. This is the way
endorse
c) As these tools are more frecuently used with "tar", make it to prefer
the parralel versions, current gnu-tar already tries different
implementations when the default ones are not present, would be a matter
of altering the order if needed. I take no stance on this way.
comments appreciated.
