[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed is back!
by Greg KH 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Hi all, Now that 12.3 is all settled down and working well, it's time for those of you wanting newer packages to rejoice, Tumbleweed is back up and rolling along. I've populated the openSUSE:Tumbleweed repo with a few packages to start with, (editors, git, kernel) to whet your appetite, and once you are done installing them, the big GNOME 3.8 update will be landing in a few days after the build system catches up. Once you are finally getting used to it (and cursing the fact that your favorite GNOME extension isn't updated for 3.8), the Libreoffice 4.0.2 update should hopefully be built, so you will have that goodness as well. >From there, it's just more of the same, package updates that people request to be added, and maybe the next KDE update, whenever that happens. If anyone has any questions, please be sure to let me know on the openSUSE-factory mailing list. thanks, greg k-h p.s. If someone could forward this to opensuse-announce@, and anywhere else that openSUSE news happens, that would be great. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed, future directions
by Greg KH 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Hi all. So Tumbleweed is, I think, almost 2 years old now. It seems to be working fairly well, or at least well enough for my daily use, and I haven't heard any complaints about it in a long time which means that either no one is using it, or it's working for others :) Anyway, with the advent of 12.3 soon, I have been thinking if Tumbleweed needed to change any to make things work better. My original set of complaints a year or so ago about OBS issues that keep us having a "proper" rolling distribution, still pretty much are the same: - the build-number issue - build speed - dependancy rebuild problems. Build speed of OBS has increased recently, I don't know if it's just my imagination, or if I have a higher priority for my repos now, or if new hardware really was added to the build system, but I'm happy things seem to be working better in that area at the moment. But the other two issues are still big ones, as the recent GNOME update in Tumbleweed proved quite well. So, I was thinking about maybe, when 12.3 changing Tumbleweed from being an "add-on" repo on top of the 12.3 repos, to being a "full" distro snapshot. That would resolve the build number problems we have had, but the dependancy rebuild issue would increase. The rebuild problem can be manually handled, much like FACTORY currently is, but odds are, I would lean toward the conservative side, having more rebuilds than are probably necessary just to ensure that systems work well. That means that libreoffice would be updated on a weekly basis for users, which might get annoying over time :) Any thoughts by anyone about this? Or should I just do it and see how well it works out? 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] Math code runs half as slow in 12.3 compared to previous versions.
by Carlos E. R. 10 Apr '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, In here <http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php?t=484988> it has been found that the "libm" library is faulty, makes code run half as slow, in several distros, compared to previous version. Brute force replacing the libm library in 12.3 with that of 12.2 solves the issue. Sample code: // Version 1.0 // // Compilation command: // g++ -Wall -Wextra -O2 check_speed.C # include <cstdlib> # include <iostream> # include <cmath> using namespace std; //---------------------------------------------- int main() // Purpose: measure execution speed. { const int NX=1000000, NY=8; double x=-3.3, y=0.0, z=9.4; int j = 99; for(int i=0; i<NX; i++) { x = i + cos(i+z-j); for(j=0; j<NY; j++) { y = exp(-fabs(sin(x-i+y))); z = x+y+z - cos(y+i-j); z += x - rand(); if(x+i-j < j+20) z += y + fabs(cos(x-i)); else z = sin(z+x) - sin(i-j+z); x = cos(x-y+z-i+j/20); } } cout << "x = " << x << endl; return 0; } There is a bugzilla: <https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=811546> There is still no official response.

[opensuse-factory] build power
by Jos Poortvliet 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hi all, In a couple of weeks we expect a new server rack, sponsored by SUSE, to arrive. It will bring enough build power to solve the long waiting many of you are experiencing. See http://news.opensuse.org/?p=15739 for details. In the mean time, cleaning up unused packages and projects in your home always helps us save some cycles! Our binary delivery server is also getting full and that, too, will need a solution. Cleaning up only gets us so far. Help finding a new server is welcome, Adrian can probably tell you what we need if you ask. Remember, this service depends on support from sponsors and we can use more help. Cheers, Jos

[opensuse-factory] new version of opensc
by Hans Witvliet 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hi all, I'm stuck with unsupported smartcards and i noticed that sometime ago the people from opensc-project already released a newer version, e.g. opensc-0.13, while the latest version for any suse-release is 0.12.2. Any chance of bumping it up in "obs/security:/chipcard/" ?

Could we get back to this request? I never got a definite answer on this one. Erico Mendonça Dedicated Support Engineer +55 (61) 9115-3256 +55 (61) 8594-9557 +55 (11) 3345-3900 Av.

The language is designed for both beginners and experienced Rexx programmers. It is easy to learn and use, and provides an excellent vehicle to enter the world of object-oriented programming without much effort. It extends the procedural way of Rexx programming with object-oriented features that allow you to gradually change your programming style as you learn more about objects. Some personal observations: Rexx has been in use since 1979, and transitioned through many different platforms, from the original mainframe implementation (where it still lives), to Amiga, OS/2, AIX, Windows and Linux. I've been using it daily in Linux servers for at least a decade, and OS/2 before that. This package is based on the latest stable release, and has been tweaked to avoid some of the pitfalls of the official RPMs, like fixed directories for classes, a reworked optimized SPEC and a working init script (the original seems to hang sometimes). This package has been thoroughly tested in the last few months and could be a nice addition. Erico Mendonça Dedicated Support Engineer +55 (61) 9115-3256 +55 (61) 8594-9557 +55 (11) 3345-3900 Av.

Out of interest will; a laptop with an 386 running at 20Mhz run linux? I still have an old one that I use for programming amateur radios and might try it if I get enough time while flying rockets !.
