by Freek de Kruijf 13 Sep '11

The lcn modules in trunk update-desktop-files-directories.pot and update-desktop-files.pot still contain a number of 11.4 strings. These should be replaced by 12.1. -- fr.gr.

[opensuse-factory] IPV6 privacy in openSUSE
by Andreas Jaeger 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

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.

[opensuse-factory] packaging rules
by Alin Marin Elena 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

Hi All, in the last few days we had a small flood, a trickle compared with Noah's, on the mailing list about some package distributing religious content. The discussion got hijacked by personal views totally ignoring the fact that we already have guidelines for these situations... http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_guidelines#Legal Some examples of content which are not permissible: ..... Religious texts ..... We shall decide what we should do. 1. Scrap the rule or 2. Apply the rule.

Hi Jon, thank you for your reply but let's stick to the list and let's not top-post.

I surely won't judge [enter some despicable content with the exception of gnome here] simply by the rpmlint output. While I have no problem with openSUSE containing religious or pseudo-scientific utilities, I have no problem with the community deciding not to ship certain material either. But I simply referred to the fact that some items of american-style free speech are forbidden or tightly restricted in some European countries. Yes, it involves additional caution to use a product which contains these and it may or may not be judged by the community that it's worth the trouble. Just like there have been export restrictions on cryptography. > Well what if somebody suggested the inclusion of Nazi > texts in openSUSE?

[opensuse-factory] canonical way for mysql database creation?
by Ralf Lang 11 Sep '11

11 Sep '11

Hi list, is there a canonical way to provide easy setup for application databases say in mysql? I have invested some time into a suse-centric commandline installer for horde 4 and it works sufficiently well to be included with the distribution soon but it only works if the user already created a database and a users. Before I go ahead and reinvent the wheel, how would yast or KDE or whoever uses databases as backends do it? I would not want to make assumptions about free database/user names or how (if) the db admin user's password is set. -- Ralf Lang Linux Consultant / Developer B1 Systems GmbH Osterfeldstraße 7 / 85088 Vohburg / http://www.b1-systems.de GF: Ralph Dehner / Unternehmenssitz: Vohburg / AG: Ingolstadt,HRB 3537 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
