Add Fix-plain-map-and-political-map-showing-no-content.patch to fix the plain map and the political map being not displayed at all (kde#379297) ==== mc ==== Subpackages: mc-lang - sftp.patch: Backport upstream fixes for SFTP (boo#1004280, boo#1042797) ==== plasma5-integration ==== - Move the Recommends: %{name}-plugin-lang to the plasma5-integration-plugin sub package, otherwise the translations won't get installed as there is no main package (boo#1027925) - Actually apply the aforementioned patch (shouldn't the source validator have warned?) ==== plasma5-openSUSE ==== Subpackages: plasma5-defaults-openSUSE plasma5-theme-openSUSE plasma5-workspace-branding-openSUSE sddm-theme-openSUSE - Fix installation of the sddm theme files (boo#1047254) ==== postgresql ==== Version update (9.4 -> 9.6) Subpackages: postgresql-contrib postgresql-devel postgresql-docs postgresql-server - Bump version and defaultpackage to 9.6. - Move ~postgres/.bash_profile to postgresql-server to avoid a file conflict between the versioned server packages. - Bump version and defaultpackage to 9.4. - Bump version and defaultpackage to 9.3. - Change license string to PostgreSQL. - Make all dummy packages noarch. - Make PostgreSQL 9.2 the default. - Reduce the postgresql packages with unversioned names to dummy packages that require the respective versioned package names. ==== python-coverage ==== Version update (3.7.1 -> 4.3.4) - uninstall alternatives in %postun - update for singlespec - update to 4.3.4: - Using the --skip-covered option on an HTML report with 100% coverage would cause a ?No data to report? error, as reported in issue 549. This is now fixed; thanks, Lo�c Dachary. - If-statements can be optimized away during compilation, for example, if 0: or if __debug__:. Coverage.py had problems properly understanding these statements which existed in the source, but not in the compiled bytecode. This problem, reported in issue 522, is now fixed. - If you specified --source as a directory, then coverage.py would look for importable Python files in that directory, and could identify ones that had never been executed at all. But if you specified it as a package name, that detection wasn?t performed. Now it is, closing issue 426. Thanks to Lo�c Dachary for the fix. - If you started and stopped coverage measurement thousands of times in your process, you could crash Python with a ?Fatal Python error: deallocating None? error. This is now fixed. Thanks to Alex Groce for the bug report. - On PyPy, measuring coverage in subprocesses could produce a warning: ?Trace function changed, measurement is likely wrong: None?. This was spurious, and has been suppressed. - Previously, coverage.py couldn?t start on Jython, due to that implementation missing the multiprocessing module (issue 551). This problem has now been fixed. Also, issue 322 about not being able to invoke coverage conveniently, seems much better: jython -m coverage run myprog.py works properly. - Let?s say you ran the HTML report over and over again in the same output directory, with --skip-covered. And imagine due to your heroic test-writing efforts, a file just acheived the goal of 100% coverage. With coverage.py 4.3, the old HTML file with the less-than-100% coverage would be left behind. This file is now properly deleted. - update to Version 4.3.1 ? 2016-12-28: - Some environments couldn?t install 4.3, as described in issue 540. This is now fixed. - The check for conflicting --source and --include was too simple in a few different ways, breaking a few perfectly reasonable use cases, described in issue 541. The check has been reverted while we re-think the fix for issue 265. - update to Version 4.3 ? 2016-12-27: Special thanks to Lo�c Dachary, who took an extraordinary interest in coverage.py and contributed a number of improvements in this release. - The HTML report now supports a --skip-covered option like the other reporting commands. Thanks, Lo�c Dachary for the implementation, closing issue 433. - Subprocesses that are measured with automatic subprocess measurement used to read in any pre-existing data file. This meant data would be incorrectly carried forward from run to run. Now those files are not read, so each subprocess only writes its own data. Fixes issue 510. - Coverage.py wouldn?t execute sys.excepthook when an exception happened in your program. Now it does, thanks to Andrew Hoos. Closes issue 535. - The coverage combine command will now fail if there are no data files to combine. The combine changes in 4.2 meant that multiple combines could lose data, leaving you with an empty .coverage data file. Fixes issues issue 525, issue 412, issue 516, and probably issue 511. - The branch coverage issues described in issue 493, issue 496, and issue 502 are now fixed, thanks to Lo�c Dachary. - Options can now be read from a tox.ini file, if any. Like setup.cfg, sections are prefixed with ?coverage:?, so [run] options will be read from the [coverage:run] section of tox.ini. Implements part of issue 519. Thanks, Stephen Finucane. - Specifying both --source and --include no longer silently ignores the include setting, instead it fails with a message. Thanks, Nathan Land and Lo�c Dachary. Closes issue 265. - Coverage.py can now search .pex files for source, just as it can .zip and .egg. Thanks, Peter Ebden. - update to 4.2: - Since ``concurrency=multiprocessing`` uses subprocesses, options specified on the coverage.py command line will not be communicated down to them. Only options in the configuration file will apply to the subprocesses. Previously, the options didn't apply to the subprocesses, but there was no indication. Now it is an error to use ``--concurrency=multiprocessing`` and other run-affecting options on the command line. This prevents failures like those reported in `issue 495`_. - Filtering the HTML report is now faster, thanks to Ville Skytt�. - update to 4.0.3: - Fixed a mysterious problem that manifested in different ways: sometimes hanging the process (`issue 420`_), sometimes making database connections fail (`issue 445`_). - The XML report now has correct ``<source>`` elements when using a ``--source=`` option somewhere besides the current directory. This fixes `issue 439`_. Thanks, Arcady Ivanov. - Fixed an unusual edge case of detecting source encodings, described in `issue 443`_. - Help messages that mention the command to use now properly use the actual command name, which might be different than "coverage". Thanks to Ben Finney, this closes `issue 438`_. - add LICENSE.txt - Pre require coreutils. This package is needed for the rm call in the pre section. Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.gONanE: line 3: rm: command not found - specfile: * updated license * updated update-alternatives * README.txt -> README.rst - update to version 4.0: (long list, see http://coverage.readthedocs.org/en/latest/changes.html) - fix rhel deps by depending on /usr/sbin/update-alternatives ==== ucode-intel ==== Version update (20160714 -> 20170511) - Update to version 20170511 - Update to version 20161104. ==== yast2-bootloader ==== Version update (3.2.22 -> 3.2.23) - AuotYaST configuration: Set StorageDevices flag disks_valid to true. So libstorage can scan valid disks and "/" partition can be found. (bnc#1043132) - 3.2.23 ==== yast2-ntp-client ==== Version update (3.2.9 -> 3.2.12) - Resrict records are written at the end but the default file and most profiles use them at the beginning, which mangles the file completely (bsc#983486). To fix it we have just changed the order of writing. - 3.2.12 - AutoYaST: Fix crash when trying to sanitize not string values, for example initial_sync. - AutoYaST: Sanitize comments by only removing blank spaces at the beginning and adding line break. This avoids augeas parse errors (bsc#1045777). - 3.2.11 - AutoYaST: Fix crash in CFA when creating a command record with some key value option is given (bsc#1045968) - 3.2.10 - AutoYaST: Comments from autoyast profile should not be sanitized to avoid entries without space between value and comment (e.g trustedkey 1# coment). This is caused by a bug in augeas adding new entries. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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. I have systemd locked out, as I'd rather test things I can understand in Factory, not major overhaul stuff. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-factory] [Tumbleweed] dracut wails about not being able to disassemble device-mapper
by Achim Gratz 11 Feb '18

11 Feb '18

Since a few weeks dracut spews about two pages of errors/warnings on shutdown. Yesterday I halted the system instead of poweroff to be able to read those and it seems that the unmount of /oldroot fails and then the disassembly of the device-mapper devices errors out (maybe there'd been other errors before that that already rolled off the screeb). Does anybody have an idea what is going on and how to fix it?

[opensuse-factory] FF56 in Tumbleweed
by Achim Gratz 11 Feb '18

11 Feb '18

I didn't see any mention of what I am supposed to do until I have used my second machine to figure out how much breakage FF56 creates for me with the plugins I am using and how to fix it. Hopefully that timewindow is going to be short, but if not, where would I get updates for FF52?

[opensuse-factory] XFCE upcoming / planned stuff
by Stefan Seyfried 21 Jan '18

21 Jan '18

Hi, (cc'ing Takashi, who does not yet know about my plans even though we are co-maintaining X11:xfce ;-) Now that the XFCE stuff in Factory is somewhat reasonably current, I'd like to propose a change in the default setup. I'd like to switch to the whiskermenu panel plugin (https://gottcode.org/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin/) as a default start menu. Existing setups will not be changed, just the default for new users. The way this would be achieved would be a change in xfce4-branding-openSUSE package (actually xfce4-panel-branding-openSUSE) to the panel config, and that package then would get a "Requires: xfce4-panel-plugin-whiskermenu". This requires would lead to ~500kB wasted space for people who do not want to use whiskermenu, but that's it, it won't do no harm otherwise. If there are no objections, then I'd submit this soon (first to X11:xfce, then to Factory). And that brings me to the second point: I'm trying to bring the XFCE Live CDs back. OK, the ISO's are too big for CDs, but work well as DVD or hybridpersistent USB stick. If you want to try them out *now*, grab them from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/seife:/xfce/images/iso/ If there are no serious issues reported, I'd submit them to X11:xfce (and then announce the new location). There are 4 images available: XFCE-Leap-42.3-latest => XFCE from X11:xfce XFCE-Leap-42.3-stable => XFCE as shipped in Leap 42.3 XFCE-Tumbleweed-latest => XFCE from X11:xfce XFCE-Tumbleweed-stable => XFCE as shipped in Tumbleweed The latter two should be pretty identical right now, but once I submit the above whiskermenu change to X11:xfce the Tumbleweed-latest variant will get the newer look. Opinions? Have a lot of fun... seife (Once I get around the kiwi kinks, I'll also try to resurrect the XFCE based openSUSE Rescue sytem image) -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Nvidia drivers - unable to switch ttys (after Gnome 3.26.1 update?)
by Robert Munteanu 13 Jan '18

13 Jan '18

Hi, I have recently lost the ability to switch ttys after a recent upgrade, I think the one with Gnome 3.26.1 . I am using the most recent TW packages, with the Nvidia proprietary drivers from the tumbleweed repo - nvidia-gfxG04-kmp-default-384.90_k4.13.4_1-26.2.x86_64 . The sympton is gdm comes up fine, I can enter my login data but then the screen blanks after logging in. Switching to another tty using Ctrl-Alt-F1 or similar does not work. I suspect that the same problem appears when logging in since (to my knowledge) gdm remains active on tty2 and creates the desktop session on ttty7. Workaround: - boot in multi-user mode, manually issue systemctl start display-manager - immediately restart gdm ( Ctrl-Alt-Backspace ) after reboot, second instance seems to work fine Has anyone seen this? If this is a bug to file, where should it go?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I became aware of zsync on a thread on usenet. We provide the application: <https://software.opensuse.org/package/zsync?search_term=zsync> +++------------ zsync Client-side Implementation of the Rsync Algorithm over HTTP zsync is a implementation of rsync over HTTP. It allows updating of files from a remote Web server without requiring a full download or a special remote server application. It uses a metafile, which is created on the server, to determine which parts of a file the user already has; it then downloads the remaining parts via HTTP. No special server or Web server module is needed. It also works with gzip files, and content on the server can be compressed to further reduce download times. - ------------++- The download server would have to generate .zsync files, and the client would have to be pointed at the zsync file instead (it took me 30" to generate the .zsync file for dvd_image.iso). After that, all the processing is done at the clients. More info: <https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=%22zsync%22+%22ISO%22&hl=en&gbv=1&sei…> Ubuntu uses it, and apparently it could be used to update the previous TW iso to the current one, downloading less data (I have been unable so far to verify). Would this be interesting to have? :-? :-) - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse-factory] RFC Generic Packaging for Languages that have vendor/ Trees
by Aleksa Sarai 02 Jan '18

02 Jan '18

Hello *, This is a proposal for having a generic packaging system of RPMs for languages that use "vendor/" trees. Please respond with any feedback you have on the details of this proposal. The main justification for the need for this proposal is that we have seen the recent rise of languages that have an *enormous* number of "micro-packages" (JavaScript is the most well-known offender here, where the majority of widely used packages are only several lines long, but Rust has a similar issue, and Go/Ruby do too). This has effectively made it an impracticality (or even an impossibility for some languages) to create a 1-to-1 RPM mapping for each package. So while a 1-to-1 RPM mapping is arguably the most ideal (both from a idealogical perspective and a tooling perspective), the maintenance burden is far too high. Another problem is that many projects written in these sorts of languages these days "vendor" their dependencies, usually using a language-specific package manager to do so. (This is slightly ironic in my opinion, because if they'd integrated more with distributions this ideally wouldn't be necessary, but that ship has sailed.) This is a problem that also needs to be resolved. Luckily such projects usually have some sort of "lock file" that describes what is present inside the "vendor/" tree -- this is something that will be useful later. It should be noted that the 1-to-1 RPM mapping also doesn't help here either as it further will balloon out the number of packages we would need to have (as each project might have different version dependencies). Debian has been attempting to do this with Go packages, and as far as I can see it's quite a futile effort because of the maintenance burden that comes from it. At the moment the way that most packages deal with this problem is that they just punt completely on reproducibility and audit-ability, and just vendor all dependencies in a project and then tar up the vendor/ tree and include it in the OBS project. For a JavaScript project this would involve just running `yarn <blah>` (or whatever the command is) and then taking node_modules/ and creating a node_modules.tar.xz that is included in the specfile. The main problem with this approach currently is that it is completely unauditable and nobody knows what's inside that magic vendor blob. *However* the core idea is not completely insane. The Rust folks have also started doing the same thing with cargo-vendor. And here we come to my proposal. The idea is to take what is already being done in these projects, and create better tooling around it to make the work of development, maintainence, security, and legal much easier. First, we need to provide more metadata about these vendor blobs in the RPM layer, so that security could at least *track* what versions of things are used by a project. And in the worst case, it should be possible to patch a vendor blob. This would likely best be done through RPM macros, by creating a virtual Provides for each of the vendored libraries. This matches what Fedora does for bundled libraries[1]. The Provides could be just as simple as Provides: bundled(rust:nix) = 0.8.1 Or something more involved to be extra paranoid: Provides: bundled(rust:registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index:nix) = 0.8.1 Secondly, in order to make this vendor archive reproducible, I propose we have an OBS service that can be used to vendor a source tree (which can obviously be run either locally or on OBS). It will produce all of the vendor archives created by language-specific tools, and produce a language-agnostic manifest of what was downloaded (the name, language, version, git commit, and so on). The idea is that this manifest could be used by the RPM macros above rather than writing language-specific macros. I have already started working on the OBS service, but I would love to hear your feedback on this proposal.
