[opensuse-factory] "reboot" behaves like "kexec"
by Andrey Borzenkov 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

I have quite strange effect on current Factory installation. Any attempt to reboot (including systemctl --force --force reboot, which /should/ just directly execute syscall) behave as if I requested kexec. I never see usual firmware initial screen, or bootloader (GRUB2). After small delay I am presented with booting kernel. This is VMware Player running with EFI firmware. 12.2 is OK. Anyone experiences the same? -andrey -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Package deletion requested: gdome2, gtkmathview and gmetadom
by Dominique Leuenberger a.k.a. Dimstar 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hi Geekos! Instead of trying to fix gdome2 (which is likely not difficult neither), I decided to create delete requests for this package... its last release is from 2003 and nothing in Factory* makes use of it. * Well, every good rule has an exception: The two packages - gtkmathview - gmetadom depend on gdome2... even though they still build, they are outdated and useless... thus also requested for deletion. Any objections? Speak up now !

[opensuse-factory] new package Qore for Factory
by Petr Vanek 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

hi all, I'd like to introduce the suggested addons to factory: Qore programming language with its modules. Also I offer myself as a maintainer of these packages. About Qore: The Qore programming language is a powerful, thread-capable, embeddable, weakly-typed language with optional strong typing and procedural and object-oriented features designed for anything from quick scripting to complex multithreaded, network-aware application development to embedded application scripting. Qore was initially designed to facilitate the rapid implementation of sophisticated interfaces in embedded code in an enterprise environment, and has since grown into a general-purpose language as well. openSUSE profits: - 3rd party and/or end users scripts and apps written in Qore can run out of the box. - Qore is used in enterprise applications. It can allow using of openSUSE in this area. - we have feedback from various educational institutes where is Qore used for "concurrent programming" courses/lessons. It would open new area for openSUSE Currently it can be found in devel:languages:misc which would be a "devel' project for it. content: qore qore-asn1-module qore-freetds-module qore-glut-module qore-json-module qore-mysql-module qore-ncurses-module qore-opengl-module qore-pgsql-module qore-qt4-module qore-sqlite3-module qore-ssh2-module qore-uuid-module qore-xml-module qore-yaml-module including Qore in main repo would allow to build proprietary dependent parts in Packaman as well: qore-oracle-module thanks, petr vanek -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Status: Distribution
by Stephan Kulow 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hi, Unnoticed by many, we hit an important milestone: The start of my christmas vacation was also the start of the feature freeze. So we already see an increased number of "can I update FOO" discussions on this mailing list :) To avoid having to answer it a hundred times: The feature freeze is not black & white. What it means is that the before that date we update all packages to gain as many features as possible, after that we update only packages that are broken. So for every update I would love to have a justifcation to change it, balancing risks and benefits. I might not need to remind you, but we were a bit too lax with it for 12.2, so I for sure will hit the break more often this time. But it also means that I have no problem updating packages that bear little risks - _IF_ the submitter thought about the risks too and included testing in his justification. Factory itself does not shine, but is in a rather acceptable state for a freshly started stabilizing phase, heck we even have the latest perl! :) The bug reports for failing packages caused quite some action, thanks to Cristian for that. Right now we have around 50 failing packages, we had over 100 at that point of time for 12.2, so I'm pretty confident we won't run into delay issues. I still would like to finish the switch to 1G USB sticks for live media, hopefully for Beta1 - which *another suprise to many I assume* is planned for next week.

[opensuse-factory] resurrect libpfm (openSUSE:Dropped)
by Tony Jones 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

I'd like to resurrect libpfm for openSUSE. Current version is 4.3.0 which supports perf_events only. Old dropped version was 3.52 (and included support for the perfmon2.X which now only exists in SLES). Partly this was driven by wanting to fix the PAPI packaging in SLES, also by a recent sr (that I rejected) to add papi-devel to oprofile (for Factory/ppc64). Oprofile 0.9.8 (for powerpc) requires libpfm. Currently this library is side-effect provided by papi, which contains it's own internal copy of libpfm (which isn't well versioned). I'd also like to follow Fedora and have papi depend on this external version of libpfm rather than it's internal version. I'm not certain it needs to be build-time switchable as it is in Fedora? The old dropped version of libpfm was using group Development/Tools/Debuggers. I'm thinking Development/Libraries/C and C++ (and Development/Libraries/Python for the swig bindings) makes more sense. Code changes are staged here: http://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Ajones_tony%3Aoprofile… Thanks! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] powertop update to 2.2
by Karsten König 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Heihei, the powertop developers didn't make a proper announcement for 2.2, but it happend already on 15th nov. 2012 I updated it for Base:System 4 days ago, can it still be pushed to Factory? It's a leaf package and I've been running powertop 2.2 on oS 12.2 for about week now and it looks solid.

[opensuse-factory] Rolling factory distro?
by Andrey Borzenkov 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Could someone explain package flow from base repo into factory? Let's say, package was updated in ... Base:System. When will updated package appear in Factory? Only during the next Milestone release? Is there something like "rolling factory" which includes all the latest package versions? If yes, where is the repo for it? And Wiki page of course ...

[opensuse-factory] WINDOWMANAGER environment variable
by richard -rw- weinberger 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Hi! On http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:SUSE_Studio_General_howtos#How_to_implement… I saw the following command: while true do WINDOWMANAGER=/home/tux/bin/start.sh startx done I've never seen nor used WINDOWMANAGER before. Is this variable (Open)SUSE specific? Which program evaluates it? The startx manapge does not mention it. -- Thanks, //richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
