[opensuse-factory] KDE menus and gitorious

by Cristian Morales Vega

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? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] OpenTTD: An open source clone of Chris Sawyer's Transport Tycoon Deluxe

by Ammler

Dear openSUSE Factory Team OpenTTD is now for some years completely independent from the original TTD with its own graphics, sound and music. Therefore I would like to submit the package to openSUSE Factory. The brief description from http://www.openttd.org/en/about reads: OpenTTD is an open source simulation game based upon the popular Microprose game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe", written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features. Together with the package openttd, there are two data packages and one building tool: - openttd with subpackages openttd-dedicated (no SDL dependency) and openttd-data (noarch) - openttd-opengfx (required graphics) - openttd-openmsx (optional midi music) - nml (building tool for opengfx) (all 4 packages use license GPL-2.0) There is a third data package openttd-opensfx, but this does not fulfill the license requirements and so can't go to Factory (Creative Commons Sampling Plus 1.0, which means basically no commercial use). This is no big deal, like music sound is just optional and you can easily be downloaded ingame via the content service. Players get notified if they start openttd the first time. Some upstream developers of these dependent packages are also member of the OpenTTD dev team. This ensures that dependencies always work together. Also upstream has a very professional release workflow, which makes it easily maintainable for distro packager. There is a yearly major release on April 1st (no fool) and around 4 to 5 minor security/bugfix releases (http://security.openttd.org). Also there are security patches for older major release branches to support LTS distros, which do not update main releases during same distro. Usually it is very recommend to use the same versions as upstream to keep compatible with Network Multiplayer Games. But as openSUSE has a very short lifetime, this should be no issue. Development project is games. openttd is part of included there for ages. In order to ensure openttd and its support packages build on Factory, I created a temporary project: home:openttdcoop:Factory There you can find the 4 packages I submit to Factory. I heavily reworked the packages to make it "Factory capable" and didn't yet submit those changes to games. (review welcome) Currently, I don't submit testing releases (beta or RC) to games and keep those in home:openttdcoop. If openttd will be accepted in Factory, this might change. My next steps are now waiting for some comments here (around a week). If there won't be any arguments against submitting, I will submit openttd, openttd-opengfx, openttd-openmsx and nml from games to Factory. Please don't hesitate to answer, all kind of Feedback welcome. :-) Greets Marcel "Ammler" Gmür -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Get help for your favorite project - paid by Google!

by Jos Poortvliet

Heya all, You might know that Mighty Google spends millions each year sponsoring IT students to work 3 months full time on cool Free Software projects? You should try and get some of that $$ to be poured into a project you love! If you'd like an IT student to work on something for 12 weeks, add the project idea to http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC_2012_Ideas and be sure to add your name as potential mentor. GSOC myths and reality check: *MYTH*: The students don't work very hard *REALITY*: You have every right to expect them to put in effort: it is a FULL- TIME gig, 3 months, quite well paid. So if THEY don't put in work, neither should you - and let them fail. But most students are quite eager and work hard. *MYTH*: The students know nothing *REALITY*: While some students are real beginners, decent student selection should prevent this. You have a say in this - and you'll have plenty of interactions with potential students before they are chosen as they have to work with you on a good proposal. *MYTH*: The students do it just for the monies *REALITY*: Not more or less than you work for yours. GSOC is meant to replace a summer job, so yes, the students get paid. That also means they have to work for it - 40 hours a week is expected at least. And I'd expect more even... *MYTH*: Mentoring is so much work, it is easier to do the stuff yourself *REALITY*: The students get selected on the quality of the proposals they wrote together with the mentors and are expected to work 40 hours a week. You're expected to mentor: check up at least once a week (make them write a weekly blog about their progress! You're the boss, remember) and answer some questions. Not do their work for them. The oS GSOC team will help you in case you get in trouble - but really, if the student does less work than you put in, he either took on something insanely complicated (bad selection!) or you're being far too nice. It will take some hours, but most of that is easy - a quick IRC chat, pointing to some documentation, reading a weekly report, reviewing a merge request (but that's something you'd do anyway, right?). Read more in the news article: http://news.opensuse.org/2012/02/29/opensuse-gsoc-2012/ And our wiki: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC_2012 Our GSOC star team this year consists of: Vincent "vuntz" Untz Pavol "prusnak" Rusnak Manu "manugupt1" Gupta* Please ask them questions, even if you don't have any. They love attention ;-) Have a lot of fun, Jos *In hugging and kicking capacity, he might be a student and you can't be both organizer and student. But he knows everything so you can ask him what you want to know and he'll tell you :D

[opensuse-factory] Can I connect to openFATE server with FATE client?

by Ilya Chernykh

I recently imported the FATE client to the KDE:KDE3 repository and I want to test it. Upon connecting to the default server it says that access is denied. Can I connect to openFATE server instead? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] What's up with the stats page

by Ilya Chernykh

Stephan, it seems this page http://www.suse.de/~coolo/repo.list does not renew for about a month now. It was the main source of KDE3 popularity feedback for me. Was this page intentionally disabled or is there a replacement? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
