Before doing it, you can hardly know how broken the build system is, that a random project is using. Sometimes, the 'easy' looking leaf object gives you a major headache, simply because you have to patch out half of the Makefile, remove all the (in)-sanity checks, simply because you know better than what you do.

[opensuse-factory] Re: [opensuse] Enhancement #399239 - feedback
by Roberto Mannai 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Please read all the bug comments / clarifications :) this enhancement request is not about "out of disk space" alert; it is about reporting the total of bytes your going to install / remove. Now that total bytes is showed when the installation step is already started (really when starting to download the packages). Other package management tools show the disk variation: SMART and Synaptics, if I'm not wrong...

[opensuse-factory] Adding new packages to Contrib
by Michal Marek 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Hi, I tried to describe a process of adding packages to the Contrib repo: http://en.opensuse.org/Contrib/Adding_new_packages . Note that this is just a proposal, if you think that something is missing, or that something is a plain stupid requirement, just say so :). I just thought it's time to have something more specific.

by Rastislav Krupanský 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Hi all. I´ve just downloaded the second time installation DVD Alpha2, but md5sums are still different. I tried torrents from http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/11.1-Alpha2/iso/torrent/ and http://mirror.karneval.cz/pub/linux/opensuse/distribution/11.1-Alpha2/iso/t…. The similar issue i had also with Alpha1 (i tried it to download three times). Could you give me any advice where can i get correct iso or what can i do? Thanks a lot Regards, Rasto --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] bad shutdown & kernel stack/trace on boot
by Felix Miata 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Did a full factory upgrade today including 2.6.26-14-pae on i845G with single PATA HD and / on /dev/dm-19. New kernel installation badly mangled menu.lst, which I fixed manually. Several times shutdown -h message failed (shutdown -r message succeeds) leaving dirty partitions, and startups litter screen with kernel stack/trace flotsam. Now shutdown works. :-p KDM no longer succeeds, but startx does. HPFS partitions won't mount any more. Prior kernel 2.6.26-2-pae won't boot any more (initrd created 24 July): boot/00-dm_linear.sh: line 1: /sbin/activate_dm_linear: no such file or directory (it does exist, dated 13 Aug, as does activate_dm_linear, dated 12 July); FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-pae/modules.dep: no such file or directory (which does exist). -- "Love is not easily angered.

[opensuse-factory] cotrib repository: progress discussion
by Alexey Eremenko 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

Hi All, Since nothing seems to happen recently, I would like to discuss the reviewers (contrib-maintainers) and maintainers (package-maintainers) So far only few people agreed to become reviewers - Alexey "Technologov" (al4321(a)gmail.com) - Pascal Bleser User:Pbleser (yaloki) And few are considering it: -Martin Schlander <martin.schlander(a)gmail.com>) -Michal Marek (User:Michal-m) -Anyone else? By taking this chance, I would like to ask other participators what they think (or decided). After that I will ask coolo nicely to give reviewers the write access permissions so we can handle our job. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Czech Packagers Team (Prague) meeting minutes 2008-08-14
by Michal Vyskocil 21 Aug '08

Czech Packagers Team (Prague) meeting minutes 2008-08-14 ======================================================== Present: anosek, lmichnovic, mkudlvasr, mmarek, mvyskocil, nadvornik, prusnak, puzel, sbrabec Minutes: mvyskocil Topic: (1) OCR software (2) New version of Virtual Box (3) How to adopt a packages from Packman (4) Work reports 2008-08-08 (5) Work reports 2008-08-15 (1) OCR software Puzel started work on packaging tesseract and OCRopus. Tesseract is a low-level optical character recognition software without any layout analysis. OCRopus is a general OCR framework that uses tesseract as one of its plugins. It can do layout analysis, language modelling etc. Both projects lack GUI. Concerning tesseract, there are no major problems with packaging since the code seems to be quite stable. On the other hand, OCRopus - available as alpha release - is under heavy development. Puzel suggested to wait for beta release (should be out this month) for which the developers promise stabilisation of build system and improvements in documentation. (2) New version of Virtual Box mkudlvasr started to work on build of the new version of VirtualBox. Altougth the local build runs, the build in autobuild fails. The initial packaging of the new version was done by community member in a BuildService. (3) How to adopt a packages from Packman mvyskocil works on improve of the build of the package openproj, withouth usage of the included binary jars. Some of the build dependencies are a part of Packman project. These packages don't have any license/or patent problem. So we've discussed about the best approach of addopting of these packages - mvyskocil will send an information about adopting to the Packman's maintaner.

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE to add SELinux Basic Enablement in 11.1
by Andreas Jaeger 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

I just published the following on news.opensuse.org: We have exciting news for security enthusiasts, experts, and paranoid people! Beginning with openSUSE 11.1, SUSE users will have an additional option regarding security frameworks. In addition to AppArmor, we will be adding SELinux capabilities in openSUSE 11.1, which will allow users to enable SELinux in openSUSE if they wish. While our customer experience shows that AppArmor is the best solution for the vast majority of users, applications, and use cases, we want to give all of our users the ability to choose the security framework that’s appropriate for their respective environments and needs. We continue to enable AppArmor as our default Host Intrusion Prevention System, and we are supporting it as the default in openSUSE 11.1 and in SUSE Linux Enterprise 11. However we are adding functionality to allow openSUSE 11.1 systems to use SELinux instead. In the SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 platform, SELinux will also be shipped as a technology preview. This is particularly important for organizations that have already standardized on SELinux, but could not even test-drive SUSE Linux Enterprise before without major work and changes. What does SELinux basic enablement mean? * We will ship the kernel with SELinux support. * We will apply SELinux patches to all “common” userland packages. * The libraries required for SELinux (libselinux, libsepol, libsemanage, etc.) will be added to openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise. * However, we are not offering enterprise class support for SELinux at this time; thus we will run QA with SELinux disabled – to make sure that SELinux patches don’t break the default delivery and the majority of packages. Although we will not be running QA with SELinux enabled, we encourage our testers to run tests with SELinux enabled and report issues and enhancement requests back to us. * We will not be shipping SELinux specific tools as part of the default distribution delivery. However, the packages (such as checkpolicy, policycoreutils, selinux-doc) will be available through the openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise repositories. * We will not be shipping any SELinux policies in the distribution. (Reference and maybe minimal policies will be available from the repositories.) By enabling SELinux in our upcoming codebase, we add missing pieces of code that exist in the community already, and we allow those who wish to use SELinux to do so conveniently without having to replace a big chunk of the distribution. Questions about SELinux enablement should be discussed on the opensuse-factory mailing list.
