[opensuse-factory] Gala (Pantheon's Window Manager) Port to openSUSE and Libclutter
by Antoine Saroufim 29 Jun '13

29 Jun '13

Good Day, I'm attempting to port Pantheon, the Elementary Desktop Environment, to openSUSE. With the correct dependencies installed, the process is relatively easy. Alien can make .RPM packages out pf most .deb files. I managed to get most of the desktop working as it would work on Ubuntu 13.04. However, Gala requires a different version of libclutter that conflicts with the one provided in the repositories of openSUSE 12.3. Gala would be extremely choppy and almost unusable if Elementary's Libclutter isn't installed, and if it is installed, GDM and Lightdm-gtk-greeter wouldn't be able to run. In short, Gala needs a libclutter version that would conflict with openSUSE 12.3. Coding Gala to use a newer version of Libclutter is beyond my skill and so is making Gala use an exclusive version of the library. Would anyone be interested in porting Gala to openSUSE 12.3?

[opensuse-factory] udev directory became symlink - not

Frederic, please note that rpm is still incapable of replacing a non-symlink object with a symlink object. This now means my /lib/udev is empty rather than a symlink :-/ Not that *I* am expecting breakage, but it might just be there, somewhere. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] drop of ldapsmb for post openSUSE 12.3
by Lars Müller 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

Hi, we like to drop ldapsmb from any openSUSE product newer than 12.3. If you still use it and believe it still has any value and not only defects it's up to you to speak up now. Else we'll remove it from the Samba spec file for all post-12.3 in a week from now.

[opensuse-factory] GNOME 3.9.3 for Factory?
by Dominique Leuenberger a.k.a. Dimstar 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

Hi all, As you're all aware, the plan for openSUSE 13.1 is to include GNOME 3.10 (12.3 was shipped with GNOME 3.6, with 3.8 as 'addon repo'). Now, of course, 3.10 is not going to be released before September... but we have GNOME 3.9.3 ready in GNOME:Factory and I for one run this on my machine with limited issues. Are you all ready and willing to get the new 3.9.x dumped upon you? Due to the early dev state of it, there are surely some things here and there that still need fixing, but the soon we can get 'users' on the platform, the better the chances to get some issues solved here and there. So the short question is really: Shall we submit GNOME 3.9.x to Factory? If we do this now, then I'd say we have a perfect chance that users coming to oSC13 and running Factory have a chance to have this usable (or not :) ). There is currently only 'one blocker' on my radar: gnome-control-center segfaults on startup (due to one of our own patches).

[opensuse-factory] python ssl module
by Guido Berhoerster 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

Why is the python ssl module not provided by the python module any more? It seems to have vanished after a recent version upgrade and there isn't even an explanation in the changelog. This currently causes build failures for offlineimap. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] LFS_CFLAGS injected into optflags
by Dominique Leuenberger a.k.a. Dimstar 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

Quoting crrodriguez(a)opensuse.org: > home:elvigia:branches:GNOME:Factory/loudmouth -> GNOME:Factory/loudmouth > > > https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/181220 > > Description: - build with LFS_CFLAGS in 32 bit archs Christian, Can you please, for general information on -factory, explain as to the 'why' you submit all those? I see many of them and of course also get the point.. but if they are that important: why not for 64bit systems? On all my systems I checked so far, this CFLAG is simply a waste and useless: getconf -a | grep -e "LFS.*_CFLAGS" LFS_CFLAGS LFS64_CFLAGS -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE => so LFS_CFLAGS is empty... why would I care to 'inject' it? If it's that important: why don't we have it in optflags in first place? I really don't like those additions without any explanation at ANY moment, including a reference what it does, how can the effects be tested, how can be tested if it's still needed..

[opensuse-factory] 13.1 Milestone 2 and Skype -- problem
by Sid Boyce 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

I have 3 x86_64 boxes where skype used to work but since upgrading from Milestone 1 to Milestone 2 I only get a buzzing sound like 50Hz hum. On the same network I have Kubuntu 13.04 boxes on which skype works properly. If I start skype (4.2.0.11) test or someone tries to call me on the M2 boxes there is just this buzzing sound that continues until I close skype. It's a standard sound setup with pulseaudio. All other apps work normally, playing flash movies, SDR radio, etc., no problem. I wonder if anyone else has noticed the same problem or even has it working properly. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

[opensuse-factory] New Package for factory: nrun
by Timo Benk 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Hi, i am about to create the submit request to factory for devel:languages:perl/nrun. nrun runs a single command or script on a multiple of target servers synchronously much like dsh or pdsh do but it is written in perl which makes it easier to extend for special remote access solutions. i originally wrote the tool for the solaris operating system but i think it may be useful on linux too. from the description: nrun will run a single command or script on a multiple of target servers synchronously. ncopy will copy a file or directory to multiple target servers. the underlying remote access mechanism is exchangeable. as of now, ssh, nsh, rsh and local execution modes are implemented. the return code and all command output will be logged. Comments, feedback and patches are very welcome. greetings, -timo -- Timo Benk Linux / Unix Consultant & Trainer Tel.: +49-178-8066638 Mail: benk(a)b1-systems.de B1 Systems GmbH Osterfeldstraße 7 / 85088 Vohburg / http://www.b1-systems.de GF: Ralph Dehner / Unternehmenssitz: Vohburg / AG: Ingolstadt,HRB 3537 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] maintenance question: what if a bugfix needs a new package?
by Marguerite Su 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

Hi, Ben & listmates, Here's the case I ran into (bnc#821877): Our unzip can't detect CJK charsets, so it unzips them into folders like "口口口", which can't be opened by file managers and impossible to delete by rm command. So most of the users will consider this as a blocker. The cause of this problem is that we use librcc to detect charset in zip formats(librcc use dynamic engines for this task, so it masks other functions like iconv on purpose, which means you can't apply _any_ further chaset patch besides librcc). But our librcc is built without libguess support, which is responsible for CJK charset detection. Well, although libguess has been landed in devel:libraries:c_c++ for a while, it didn't get submitted into Factory, no need to mention released versions. For new version like 13.1, the fix will be easy: submit libguess, fix librcc, done. But for maintenance, I can fix librcc, then it requires libguess. Our maintenance policy doesn't seem to allow brand _new_ packages. Any exceptions?

[opensuse-factory] new home for mediastreamer2
by Mariusz Fik 24 Jun '13

24 Jun '13

Hi, I'm working on update for linphone. So far I updated libosip2[1], libeXosip2[2] and ortp[3]. When all accepted I want to update mediastreamer2 and I want to move it from current devel project d:l:c_c++ to network:telephony. I saw K:D:F has mediastreamer2 _link to build kopete against it and nothing more. So fixing _link after propsed change will be trivial ;) Any objections about changing mediastreamer devel prj?
