[opensuse-factory] acpid requires systemd?
by Felix Miata 25 Apr '24

25 Apr '24

Can this be true? If so, why? Zypper won't let me upgrade acpid without breakage unless systemd is installed too.

[opensuse-factory] New Package - libhal1-flash (re-enabling Flash-Player DRM content on Linux)

Good afternoon! I've written and packaged a compatibility library for flash to enable playback of DRM content (this removes the dependency on the HAL package). I'd like to know what steps I can take to have the package considered for inclusion in openSUSE 12.3 and 13.1. Can I submit the package to devel:openSUSE:Factory, or is there another action I should be taking?

[opensuse-factory] Releases going forward
by Robert Schweikert 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

Hi, Releases going forward, or, how do we release without full time paid worker bees? With all the discussion toward the end of last year I suppose that today's e-mail "Timeline and roadmap V2" [1] finally shed light on the inevitable conclusion, the openSUSE team (@SUSE) will spend more time on other stuff and less time, if any, on turning the release crank. This is the team's prerogative just like everyone is free to work on the project, or not, in areas of interest to them. We can … [View More]argue whether the way this is coming about is giving the project the best chance to succeed or whether the transition is being put worth in a nice and friendly way, but I think we should not go down that path. Thanks! to the openSUSE Team for the hard work they have put forth in the past to turning the release crank, it is much appreciated. I think the time has come to move forward and deal with the new situation. As of right now we still have a release cycle of 8 month. That would put us into May for openSUSE 13.2. This brings about two questions: - Given the current situation can we meet a May release date? - Do we skip the May release and move to a yearly cycle and release 13.2 in November of 2014? During last year's discussions there were a number of people favoring a yearly release cycle. We have to make a decision, - stick to 8 month or move to 12 month? Voice your opinion but stick to the point and please be concise. For simplicity lets just assume that there will be no full time paid help to turn the release crank and that the work is all on those that are not part of the openSUSE Team. Under any circumstances I'd say our first go around will be a bit rough around the edges and that's OK, we have to learn. What do I have to offer? After all stuff will not get done by me sending an e-mail into the world. I offer to take on part of the role of "Release Manager". I will not be able to do all of it and I have a new definition for the role (see below.) Stephan did way more and was always the tireless worker that brought everything together. No one that does not work on openSUSE full time can obviously fulfill that role, thus we have to split things up. I figure there are about 60 to 70 hours worth of work per week that we have to distribute. I'll define "Release Manager" as: The person or group that runs after people, keeps an eye on the schedule and tries to herd the cats to get the stuff fixed that is broken. I am willing to take part of that role, and with this mail hopefully be a rallying point to put openSUSE releases on a bit more of a solid footing than where we are today, after [1]. If we go this route it implies that everyone that has stuff in Factory, what will become the next release, nothing there changes, has more responsibility in helping out than they do today. We no longer have people that can fix everything and get to spend all their time on the distribution and integration of stuff. Every maintainer has more responsibility. So where do we go from here? Do we bootstrap an effort to get a release out the door without openSUSE @SUSE or do we drift along in the uncertainty of "maybe we know something in August"? I am happy to be a rallying point and fulfill part of the role of "Release Manager" as outlined above. Maintainers/Packagers be heard, speak up, but lets not drift into rat holes, the situation is actually quite simple.

[opensuse-factory] Btrfs under heavy write makes system sluggish-er than ext
by Claudio Freire 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

So, the subject says it all. I've been testing a huge database on 13.1 RC1, well actually factory, with a btrfs partition (not the system partition, just a dedicated partition), and under heavy write it chokes the system much more than ext4 does. It also seems to have lower thoughput on what should be mostly parallel sequential access (ie: multiple sequential threads), but I'll have to perform more accurate benchmarks to be sure. It may be an fsync issue. It's not a critical issue, of course,… [View More]

[opensuse-factory] rc* symlinks and systemd
by Ludwig Nussel 03 Feb '14

03 Feb '14

Hi, openSUSE has a packing policy of requiring rc* symlinks for each init script. So for e.g. /etc/init.d/foo there must be a symlink /usb/sbin/rcfoo -> /etc/init.d/foo. There is an rpmlint check for this policy (suse-missing-rclink). Now that more and more packages correctly switch to systemd only and drop the init scripts the rpmlint check doesn't work anymore. So we are slowly losing a nice convenience feature of openSUSE. Techically the feature works also for systemd units by making … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Announce: 13.2 release in November

Hi, After reviewing the mailing list thread - and verifying with SUSE management that there is no other news, I guess I need to clarify some bits. To avoid any further uncertainties let's put this whole discussion to rest and name the beast: 13.2 will be released in November 2014. As 12.2 has shown, summer releases are *bad* - especially with conferences in spring, so I just don't want to go there and avoid the July release.

Hello, I've got one daring proposition.

There are more obsolete utilities (like route or arp) and even one that doesn't work at all for a very long time (rarp).

[opensuse-factory] Live on Stagings

Hi, Last week we had some more discussions on how to proceed with the staging workflow. We took some decisions for our next steps and you're invited to give feedback and pull requests wherever you see a problem. We did not talk about any long term planning, we will do research - implementing changes as we see problems. One thing we want to start with is replacing build service groups with staging project reviews, so let me explain this a bit as most won't even be aware of the problem ;) … [View More]

Hi, ejabberd is the famous XMPP server daemon. many public XMPP server are powered by ejabberd (https://xmpp.net/directory.php) As far as I know, Factory doesn't have any XMPP server software and this limits usage.

[opensuse-factory] [Tumbleweed] kernel: waiting module removal not supported: please upgrade

Since upgrading the kernel to 3.13 I'm getting the above warning during shutdown. The corresponding change is here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/16/31 but it doesn't tell me what I should upgrade. From reading the comments I suppose that all occurences of "rmmod --wait" should be purged (from where?).

[opensuse-factory] LVM2 package in Base:System is causing stability issues related to grub and systemd

Dear Listmates, For quite some time I am using the lvm2 package from Base:System. It's already quite some time ago and I don't remember why I switched it.

Hi, I've just created a submitrequest to Factory for the source package mozjs24 (Mozilla JS engine version 24). This is basically an update for mozjs17 and not a real new package. mozjs17 has to stay though until all consumers have been changed to use mozjs24. mozjs17 is unmaintained from a security perspective so depending projects should look into migrating to use mozjs24 instead.

[opensuse-factory] Your thoughts on dropping pm-utils
by Vojtěch Dziewięcki 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I maintain pm-utils, and I want to drop them soon, because systemd can handle (sort of) suspend and hibernation and also becouse their upstream is dead and I'm not able to (and don't want to) fix all the bugs all by myself. There is some information and an initial discussion on the topic here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=790157 The current state is that pm-utils are sort of "plugged in" to systemd and are called from systemd to … [View More]perform suspend and hibernate, if they are installed. Doesn't work too well. So I'm interested in other people's opinions on how this should be done and in particular what hooks you would like to see rewritten as systemd units, since I can usually do that. IMO the most important hook is 99Zgrub that prevents to boot another OS if we have hibernated, I've already rewritten that one, if someone wants to look at it or test it (just put it in /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep, hibernate without pm-utils and see if the grub menu appears when you turn the computer on - it shouldn't) , here's the link: http://bugzillafiles.novell.org/attachment.cgi?id=569356 I just modified it at the end, so it works as a systemd unit, but all the functions are the same as in 99ZGrub from pm-utils. I also think it would be nice to have a "transitional period", when pm-utils won't be used as default, but if someone would be unhappy with using systemd for suspending, pm-utils could be installed. So please share your thoughts on this. I also realize there are people who would like to keep pm-utils, but unfortunately I'm not able to fix those bugs any more, so if someone wants to disagree with dropping pm-utils, that person would have to become the maintainer and fix all the bugs (or find someone else to do it), because I can't and don't want to, thanks for understanding.

Hi, This is JFYI, I have moved the development of the skelcd-control-* packages to Yast Git and to the YaST:Head OBS project.
