[opensuse-factory] New Package - libhal1-flash (re-enabling Flash-Player DRM content on Linux)
by Christopher Horler 13 Sep '14

13 Sep '14

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? Details of the bug and links to upstream are here (please briefly review): https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=768562#c19 OBS location: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=hal-flash&project=home%3Ach… I will maintain the package until such time that HTML5 Video content is a viable alternative or the Flash plugin is completely withdrawn. RPMs, debs... are all available on the build service. Three noteworthy points: - package naming (libhal1-flash) doesn't 100% align with the Shared Library Policy (I've suffixed -flash to make clear this is not a fully functional HAL layer and also to avoid naming conflicts as some distros seem to have a shared library package already named libhal1). - The packages depends on dbus and udisks. It seems to work find when udisks is launched on demand (as for openSUSE 12.3) - The flash-player package could have some kind of RPM dependency on this package to assist the user when looking in YaST (Install / Remove Software) / Package Manager.

[opensuse-factory] What happened to smb-krb-printing?
by Robert Munteanu 04 Sep '14

04 Sep '14

Hi, Just realized that I no longer have smb-krb-printing installed, last I used it was on 12.3 . Looking at [1], I see that while 12.3 is OK, 13.1 only has it in a home repo, while Factory only has it as an old 32-bit package. Is this intentional? Is there an alternative? Thanks, Robert [1]: http://software.opensuse.org/package/samba-krb-printing -- http://robert.muntea.nu/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] factory oss and non-oss gpg keys expired
by Jon Nelson 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

I've seen this referenced a bunch of times, but I don't know how to resolve it. I've done this: zypper clean --all zypper -v up and I'm using factory (not 13.2) - per the wiki page of how to run Factory. These are the urls I'm using: http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/non-oss http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss How do I fix this problem? Why isn't it fixing itself? -- Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Staging Dashboard
by Stephan Kulow 02 Aug '14

Hi, To illustrate the staging workflow, there is now a dashboard showing the various projects and their health status. As there are various components involved, the view obviously simplifies - but it should be good enough for everyone to see where we are: https://build.opensuse.org/factory/staging_projects Greetings, Stephan -- Ma muaß weiterkämpfen, kämpfen bis zum Umfalln, a wenn die ganze Welt an Arsch offen hat, oder grad deswegn. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] new package: evemu
by Stefan Brüns 01 Aug '14

01 Aug '14

Hi, I would like to add a new package to openSUSE Factory: evemu evemu includes several tools. One is evemu-record, which can serve as a better evtest, as it knows several event ids evtest does not know. Additionaly, it can record device information and events to a file, which can be later digested by evemu-device and evemu-play, which creates a virtual device and plays back the recorded events. More information can be found here: http://who-t.blogspot.de/2013/11/evtest-is-dead-long-live-evemu.html evemu has a runtime dependency on libevdev, which is currently packaged in X11:XOrg. Which development project would be best: 1. X11:Xorg, as it has libevdev, although evemu is not really X related 2. Base:System, like input-utils (evtest), which does not have libevdev currently. I have prepared a evemu package in https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:StefanBruens:evemu Kind regards, Stefan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] GNOME Repo layout change & GNOME 3.13.x
by Dominique Leuenberger a.k.a. Dimstar 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

Hi GNOMEs! I know you have been patiently waiting for a sign of life from the GNOME Team.. sorry for the quietness, but we did not get lost; we are still here with you and for you. As the geeko following GNOME releases knows, GNOME 3.13.4 (the branch potentially leading to GNOME 3.14) has been released last Wednesday. As usual, the packages have been ready by that time in the Build Service, but you want to know HOW to get there, don't you? In line with the 're-targeting' of Factory, there are a few changes in repositories that you should be aware of: - openSUSE Factory => The 'Base' distribution repository we develop for - GNOME:Factory => latest STABLE GNOME Version, receiving regular updates of the stable branch, to keep GNOME in Factory 'up-to-date'; This is a small change, as it means you no longer get 'unstable' branches of GNOME in here. But it gets you (hopefully!) stable experience, which you can expect 'quickly' to land in openSUSE:Factory - GNOME:Next => This is where all the fun happens now: the NEXT release of GNOME is prepared here If it breaks, we're happy; if it works, we're even happier. In short: no 'guarantee' at any moment that this works; but I run it on my system. With this new layout, we believe to be able to better deliver upon the promise of a 'stable Factory'. Of course, this means lower speed of IN Factory, but users can rely on it. The GNOME Team runs as a bare minimum GNOME:Factory on top of that; in quiet times (between two major GNOME releases), this will be only very few differences, but we 'test' bug-fixes in here. And the crazy part of the GNOME Team is asked to run GNOME:Next (but is also asked to FIX stuff they break :) ) for you as User? Pick you poison! Carefully balance between new/stable and be prepared for an occasional break, the 'newer' you get. Users of GNOME:Next are most welcome, but encouraged to also hang around on IRC (#opensuse-gnome @ freenode) to have a short communication line to the team; and who knows? If you like it enough, you might be our new most active team member in no time! Special not when adding the repositories: GNOME:Next depends on GNOME:Factory depends on openSUSE:Factory; make sure to add THE FULL chain of repositories. Put the priorities right, so zypper dup knows what to do. All nice and good, you DO want to test GNOME 3.13.x, but for nothing on the world do you want to run Factory on your disk or mess with all those repositories? We are regularly building a live image, based on the GNOME:Next stack! there is NO QA (neither automatic nor manual) happening on it; at best, some of us might try to boot it every now and then. For the curious ones, it is available at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Medias/images/iso/?P=GNOME… Questions? Comments? As usual, simply approach us!
