[opensuse-factory] How can external disk be mounted so a ordinary user can write to the disk.
by doiggl＠velocitynet.com.au 06 Oct '12

Hello, I have an external drive formatted and attached at bootup. The /etc/fstab entry is this: /dev/sdb1 /media/disk reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 2 The problem is that a ordinary user cannot write to the disk , only root can. I am using opensuse 12.1 on this machine. Questions. -How can the disk be mounted so a ordinary user can write to the disk ? -What commands do I need to run to to do this, examples would be useful ?

Hi, I just submitted shorewall to factory # 137237 and starting with 12.3 release shorewall packages will only support systemd so no more sysv-init scripts.

Hi, I will be submitting sbcl package from devel:languages:misc project to Factory, as soon as the builds are finished.

[opensuse-factory] Help bootstrapping Haskell compiler (ghc) in Factory
by Peter Trommler 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

Dear OBS maintainers, I would like to bootstrap ghc (the Haskell compiler) in Factory which means I need to get a binary version of ghc into Factory and also have some settings added to the project configuration of Factory. My first attempt using an aggregate in SR #137052 was rejected automatically by licensedigger. I should have asked for help in the first place :-) This discussion is perhaps not very exciting for most subscribers to this mailing list. Could I email one of you guys directly and work out the details?

[opensuse-factory] 3.6.0 kernel is now in Tumbleweed
by Greg KH 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

As many of you might have noticed already, the 3.6.0 kernel is now in openSUSE:Tumbleweed. I'll be working on getting the latest KDE update into the tree over the next week or so. Jiri, you had a big tumbleweed git update for me to pull from, right? Do you want me to do that, or do the KDE update "by hand" as I've done it before? I think I've gotten most of the previous packages you suggested I pull in already, but not the Virtualization ones yet, I'll go add them right now and see how things go. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] New package: ghc-bootstrap
by Peter Trommler 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

Dear Factory maintainers, SR #137052 submits ghc-bootstrap from devel:languages:haskell to Factory This is part of FATE#314446 to add Haskell to openSUSE. The package aggregates ghc and hscolour from devel:languages:haskell so we can bootstrap those two packages in Factory. After bootstrap of ghc and hscolour (will be submitted shortly) is done, this package is no longer needed and can be deleted. I will send a request for deletion then so you don't have to track that. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.

by Peter Trommler 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

Dear Factory maintainers, SR #137039 submits ghc-rpm-macros from devel:languages:haskell to Factory. The package contains macros to support packaging of Haskell libraries and applications. It is based on Fedora's Haskell packaging guidelines and adapted to openSUSE. More Information can be found at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Haskell#RPM_Macros This is the first step to get Haskell into 12.3 (see FATE # 314446, https://features.opensuse.org/314446) Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Tasks and Mentors needed for Google Code-In
by Robert Schweikert 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

All, It is time for the next Google event, hurray :) , and once again we would like to participate as a mentor organization. Having successfully participated in the Google Summer of Code and also last year's Google Code-In we are once again aiming to participate in a Google event; Google Code-In 2012, see http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GCI for details. Therefore we need tasks and mentors. This year the rules have changed a bit and this should put things on a different footing compared to last year. Google is not handing out money to the students, rather a trip to Google HQ in Mountain View, CA for an awards ceremony is provided for 2 students plus guardian for each of the participating projects. Only 10 open source projects will be selected. Therefore, it is time to get your good ideas and things that are on your list but that you are never going to get to onto the the task list. We are looking for tasks in the following 5 categories: 1.) Code: Tasks related to writing or refactoring code 2.) Documentation/Training: Tasks related to creating/editing documents and helping others learn more* 3.) Outreach/Research Tasks related to community management, outreach/marketing or studying problems and recommending solutions 4.) Quality Assurance: Tasks related to testing and ensuring code is of high quality 5.) User Interface: Tasks related to user experience research or user interface design and interaction *Note: Translation tasks are not allowed As you add tasks to the list please remember that the students targeted by this contest are 13-17 years of age, thus adding a task to fix a kernel bug to the list is probably not the best fit. We want to provide an environment where these students can learn, but also are challenged and stretched out of their comfort zone a little bit. With this lets get moving, please add your tasks to: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GCI_tasks The application deadline for organizations is Monday November 5, this gives us basically 4 weeks to get our task and mentor list into shape. Lets get cracking an put some tasks on the list. Mentor organizations will be announced on November 12 and the contest runs November 26, 2012 through January 14, 2013. In advance thanks to those stepping up to be mentors and those that add tasks to the list.
