[opensuse-factory] current repo links not updated again
by Greg KH 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

Can someone please update the "current" repo links to point to the 12.3 release? They weren't updated for 12.2 either, does this need to be added to a checklist somewhere so that it gets done automatically for the next release? 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] the next staging project: giflib5
by Stephan Kulow 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Hi, Is anyone interested in fixing the 10 packages needing an update for giflib5? I set up openSUSE:Factory:Staging:giflib5 after reverting the update in openSUSE:Factory and will add maintainers happily. But all packages in there are branches of the devel project, so just submit the fixes to the devel project.

[opensuse-factory] oh crap....
by Robert Schweikert 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Well, Still a few hours to the release, thus I'll take the liberty to post to factory ;) After switching my repos to 12.3 from 12.2, running "zypper in zypper" and then "zypper dup" I ended up with a weird network state. The network has a bridge configured and there is one ethernet card. The bridge uses a static IP, everything is IPv4 and needless to say I did not make any network changes right before or while I was running zypper dup. The machine is also an nis client. Running ypwhich produces: ypwhich: Can't communicate with ypbind But ypbind is running: systemctl status ypbind.service ypbind.service - NIS/YP (Network Information Service) Clients to NIS Domain Binder Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ypbind.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Tue, 2013-03-12 20:46:14 EDT; 12min ago Process: 1608 ExecStartPost=/usr/share/ypbind/ypbind-systemd-post (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 1605 (ypbind) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/ypbind.service └ 1605 /usr/sbin/ypbind -n I can also get into the machine via ssh.

Putting the bridge back in place (using YaST) kills the network again. :( Anyway, I am stumped and need help.

[opensuse-factory] OK, folks, time to make it known!
by Basil Chupin 13 Mar '13

I keep seeing, "Only 2 days to go!" when it comes to the release of 12.3. But I also know that the Gold is made available for downloading BEFORE the 'official' release. This has been so in the past. So, where is 12.3 Gold available for download? Now, come on, give out with the info..... :-) .

[opensuse-factory] Adding installer to Rescue CD
by Erwin Van de Velde 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hi, Would it be possible to add the installer/updater to the 12.3 Rescue CD as well? Can be similar to the one of the Network install CD. I like keeping a rescue CD or USB stick at hand in case of trouble and it would be nice if it was multifunctional :-) Best regards -- Erwin Van de Velde G+: http://profiles.google.com/erwin.vandevelde -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

Would it be possible to add repo for 12.3 to it? Just so that branched packages inherit it by default? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Very slow loading of kernel/initrd with os12.3
by Joschi Brauchle 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Hello, I have been testing openSUSE 12.3 since Beta 1 in VirtualBox and found everything great. I decided to install several physical machines with RC2 over the weekend. But now I experience a problem that was not there in virtualbox: Loading of the initrd via grub legacy from harddisk is **extremely slow** on all of the physical machines, e.g. on a very recent Core-i7 system it takes ~20 seconds, on an older Core2Duo up to 60 seconds! These times are only for loading the initrd, not booting the system! During these 20-60 seconds, the HDD led of the machines are constantly on/flashing. The problem exists even with the "stock" kernel and initrd from the oss repo under /boot/x86_64/loader, if I copy then to the boot partition and add them to grub. The problem does **not** exist if I boot the machine from CD or PXE! This is our disk layout: --------- # fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders, total 976773168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000ec0fc Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 2048 305151 151552 83 Linux /dev/sda2 305152 17092607 8393728 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda3 17092608 976773119 479840256 8e Linux LVM --------- The /boot partition is ext4. How do I debug this problem? Currently there is no further output except the grub screen showing ------ root (hd0,0) kernel ... initrd ... <flashing cursor> ------ We have not had this issue with openSUSE 12.2 or with 12.3 in Virtualbox. I guess I should open a bugzilla about this? Best regards, J Brauchle

[opensuse-factory] New Package Racket
by Togan Muftuoglu 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Hi, I would be submitting racket to factory. Currently racket is developed in devel:languages:misc. You can find more information about Racket and what you can do with it http://www.racket-lang.org/ Racket (formerly called PLT Scheme) is a multi-paradigm programming language in the Lisp/Scheme family, that also serves as a platform for language creation, design, and implementation. The programming language is known for its powerful macro system which enables the creation of embedded and domain-specific languages, language constructs such as classes or modules, and separate dialects of Racket enable different semantics. Racket's interactive mode encourages experimentation, and quick scripts easily compose into larger systems. Small scripts and large systems both benefit from native-code JIT compilation. When a system gets too big to keep in your head, you can add static types.

[opensuse-factory] [RFC] A better way to update config.{guess,sub}
by Ismail Doenmez 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Hi, With every new architecture, one needs to update config.guess and config.sub files to recent version so configure scripts will work. This is cumbersome because these files are huge and the patches will have to be refreshed with each release. Hence I'd like to propose a better way to do this. First of all, we'll package gnuconfig (http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/tree/) which contains official GNU config.guess/sub files. Then add an rpm macro like %update_config_guess_sub . which will copy the latest config.{guess,sub} from the filesystem to the directory passed by the second parameter. This way we won't have ugly patches around.
