It's not that easy. perl also exists as a dynamic loader library (libperl.so) that could exist in multiple bitnesses, which means all the Perl modules (well,mthe XS things) cannot be libexec aka single bitness.

Packages that put helper binaries in lib64 are doing it wrong unless the binary has an ABI incompatible with a 32bit library that calls it.

[opensuse-factory] The reasons why openSUSE should continue to use KDE by default
by Farhad Mohammadi Majd 26 Apr '17

Hello again :P recently I did start a thread with the subject: "Why openSUSE uses KDE by default?" at that time I was *fanboy* of GNOME and GTK, but I thought deeper and understand that GNOME 3 due to its Human Interface Guidlines is really unusable for Desktop, specialy and totall GNOME due to exclusively use of C language -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE Leap's Next Major Version Number
by Richard Brown 26 Apr '17

26 Apr '17

Hi all, On behalf of the openSUSE Board and Leap Release Management I am pleased to announce the next version of openSUSE Leap after 42.3 will be: openSUSE Leap 15 As with Leap 42.x, minor releases are expected annually for at least 3 years, so you can expect a Leap 15.1 to follow, then 15.2 and onwards. Obviously this is quite a dramatic change from the current version number of 42.x, so I will explain what justifies this change in some detail below. First, some history. When we started openSUSE Leap, the version number was an issue that needed addressing. openSUSE at that time was at 13.2, but SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) was at 12 and heading towards 12 SP1. As the main unique selling point of Leap compared to every other distribution is the fact it is based on SLE sources. We wanted to reflect that in the version number. This was particularly important when you consider that a major version in SLE really means something ("major architectural changes from the last version are introduced here") whereas minor versions/service packs have a very different message ("easy to upgrade to, no major workflow breaking changes"). Leap follows a similar philosophy, so we wanted a versioning scheme to reflect SLEs. But openSUSE had already had versions starting with 12, so we couldn't sync up with SLE. This is where 42.x came from. It gave us the opportunity to establish a relationship with SLE versions (SLE Version + 30 = Leap Version), reflect the major/minor nature of Leap releases, and avoid clashes with version numbers we'd already used. The choice of 42 doubled as a humorous nod to hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and the first version numbers of SuSE Linux and YaST (4.2 and 0.42 respectively). The plan was therefore for the next version of Leap to be 43 with it's release aligned with SLE 13, followed by Leap 43.1 (with SLE 13 SP1), Leap 43.2 (w. SP2), etc However, like all good plans, things change. SUSE have decided that their next version of SLE will be 15, not 13. Upon learning of SUSE's plans the Board and Leap release team have been considering our options. This included ignoring the changes to SLE and releasing Leap 43 as planned, at the cost of the link between SLE versions and Leap versions. 45 was also considered, as were some frankly hilarious ideas that made me worry about my own sanity and that of my fellow contributors. After considering the pros and cons of all the options however, the decision has been that Leap 15 will be our next version. SUSE's decision to skip SLE 13 and 14 gave us a perfect opportunity to sync up with SLE versions like we always wanted to originally with Leap. It's an opportunity we will not be able to take so easily a few years from now if we continued with Leaps current versioning. There are only a few packages in our distribution that reference the 42.x versioning, and they should be easily handled as part of a zypper dup, so we are not concerned about this decision impacting users upgrading. We are aware that this decision could be a minor annoyance for users of Leap with configuration management tools like saltstack and puppet, but the long term opportunity to simplify such configuration (by being able to treat SLE and Leap similarly) outweighed our desire to avoid a 'one-time' effort for people currently handling the overly complicated situation caused by Leap being at 42.x and SLE being at 12 SPx. Packagers should be able to look forward to an easier time of things as a result of this change. We intend to deprecate the 0%{leap_version} macro and simplify the current complex nest of suse_version and sle_versions that can make it very frustrating to build packages appropriately for Tumbleweed, Leap and SLE. 0%{suse_version} should continue to be available as a simple indicator of the major version of Leap & SLE for packagers (eg, 0%{suse_version} == 1500 is the expected value for SLE 15 and Leap 15 and all of their minor versions/service packs). 0%{sle_version} should remain as a more precise indicator when packagers need to handle specific versions of Leap and SLE (eg. 0%{sle_version} == 150000 is the expected value for SLE 15 & Leap 15, with 150100 being the expected value for SLE 15 SP1 & Leap 15.1) 0%{is_opensuse} will continue for those times when packagers need to distinguish between Leap and SLE even though they will now more closely share their versions. The above examples and what the future suse_version number will be for Tumbleweed is not yet final, so expect to see emails from ludwig in opensuse-factory(a)opensuse.org when they are set. Thanks to everyone involved in this so far, I'm looking forward to seeing what we make out of Leap 15, and even though I cross-posted this I would like to ask that any followup conversation is kept to the opensuse-project(a)opensuse.org thread.

Leap and SLE major versions come out on average about once every 4 years. So with this plan, starting at openSUSE Leap 15 in 2018, Leap 41 should be 104 years away Ask this question again in 2122 and we'll figure out the answer then. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

Fix tmux-socket-path.patch to create directories inside of /run/tmux - update to 2.4 - refresh tmux-socket-path.patch + Incompatible Changes * Key tables have undergone major changes. Mode key tables are no longer separate from the main key tables. All mode key tables have been removed, together with the -t flag to bind-key and unbind-key. The emacs-edit, vi-edit, emacs-choose and vi-choose tables have been replaced by fixed key bindings in the command prompt and choose modes. The mode-keys and status-keys options remain. The emacs-copy and vi-copy tables have been replaced by the copy-mode and copy-mode-vi tables. Commands are sent using the -X and -N flags to send-keys. So the following: bind -temacs-copy C-Up scroll-up bind -temacs-copy -R5 WheelUpPane scroll-up Becomes: bind -Tcopy-mode C-Up send -X scroll-up bind -Tcopy-mode WheelUpPane send -N5 -X scroll-up This changes allows the full command parser (including command sequences) and command set to be used - for example, the normal command prompt with editing and history is now used for searching, jumping, and so on instead of a custom one. The default C-r binding is now: bind -Tcopy-mode C-r command-prompt -p'search up' "send -X search-backward '%%'" There are also some new commmands available with send -X, such as copy-pipe-and-cancel. * set-remain-on-exit has gone -- can be achieved with hooks instead. * Hooks: before hooks have been removed and only a selection of commands now have after hooks (they are no longer automatic). Additional hooks have been added. * The xterm-keys option now defaults to on. + Normal Changes * Support for mouse double and triple clicks. * BCE (Background Colour Erase) is now supported. * All occurrences of a search string in copy mode are now highlighted; additionally, the number of search results is displayed. The highlighting updates interactively with the default emacs key bindings (incremental search). * source-file now understands glob patterns. * Formats now have simple comparisons: [#]{==:a,b} [#]{!=:a,b} * There are the following new formats: - #{version} -- the tmux server version; - #{client_termtype} -- the terminal type of the client; - #{client_name} -- the name of a client; - #{client_written} -- the number of bytes written to the client. * The configuration file now accepts %if/%endif conditional blocks which are processed when it is parsed; the argument is a format string (useful with the new format comparison options). * detach-client now has -E to execute a command replacing the client instead of exiting. * Add support for custom command aliases, this is an array option which contains items of the form "alias=command". This is consulted when an unknown command is parsed. * break-pane now has -n to specify the new window name. * OSC 52 support has been added for programs inside tmux to set a tmux buffer. * The mouse "all event" mode (1003) is now supported. * Palette setting is now possible (OSC 4 and 104). * Strikethrough support (a recent terminfo is required). * Grouped sessions can now be named (new -t). * terminal-overrides and update-environment are now array options (the previous set -ag syntax should work without change). * There have been substantial performance improvements. ==== virtualbox ==== Subpackages: virtualbox-guest-kmp-default virtualbox-guest-tools virtualbox-guest-x11 - Add File "vbox_fix_42.3_api.patch" to handle the get_user_pages() API change in Leap 42.3. - Package VBoxVNC.so.
