[opensuse-factory] 10.2 feature freeze
by Andreas Hanke 04 Jul '06

04 Jul '06

Hi, in the transcripts of various status meetings there are items about explaining what a "Feature Freeze" is, but so far I've been unable to find the most obvious information: When is the feature freeze for 10.2? I'd like to see some packages (e.g. wxWidgets) updated for 10.2 - is that still possible? Are such things handled in Bugzilla or do the package maintainers take care of it themselves?

[opensuse-factory] YOU works only every second run
by Andreas Vetter 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Hi, whenever there is a update, the first run of you does not show the update. I have to run you again a second time to see the updates. The updates are on NFS, rsynced from gwdg.de. Any ideas? Known behaviour? Bug?

[opensuse-factory] Idea for SuSEfirewall2
by Pascal Bleser 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Just a little idea I stumbled upon... How about having a directory that allows dropping in files as part of packages (e.g. /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2.d/). Those files could include stuff like - - a detailed description of the ports that are relevant to the package - - parsable data for SuSEfirewall2, to be able to open (or close) ports based on that information - ---8<-------------------------------------------- <susefirewall2-service id="xmpp"> <summary>XMPP/Jabber</summary> <description> Open these ports to allow communication with an XMPP/Jabber server hosted in your network. </description> <ports> <port proto="udp" port="5222" /> <port-range proto="tcp" range="5222-5223"/> </ports> <susefirewall2-service> - ---8<-------------------------------------------- (of course, it should be capable of being localized) Those ports could then show up in "Allowed Services" and "Masquerading". Currently, SuSEfirewall2 has a fixed set of "well-known" (not in a sense of /etc/services) ports it can put names on (HTTP, SSH, rsync). But those ports don't include a description, that could be really valuable for beginners. Also, SuSEfirewall2 doesn't provide names for other ports, that are not in that fixed set, e.g. for gnutella, jabber/xmpp, ... and you have to go through [Advanced...] A system like above could be useful, to include port definitions for SuSEfirewall2 as part of RPM packages (e.g. jabberd). Well, just an idea, off the top of my head. What do you guys think, would it be useful ? feasible ? Post/discuss on another list ? cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <pascal.bleser(a)skynet.be> <guru(a)unixtech.be> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEpMeKr3NMWliFcXcRAuKDAJ9BLw5rhYnyuThfMVNaq9rus2Y5xwCgjp6I kVZmPXpltue+du3rGYGKnfA= =jqFo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory-unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory-help(a)opensuse.org

One thing I would add is that yast, when it writes the .xml files, should ALWAYS include a nice commented block at the top explaining the possible <x></x> entries so that if needed, one could hand edit the xml files using the information presented in the comments.

[opensuse-factory] New makeSUSEdvd tool
by houghi 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06

I have made an additional script to makeSUSEdvd http://houghi.org/script/makeSUSErsync What it does is rsync and then add those new RPMs to the ISO, removing the old ones. This means that you have the latest version available for software. At this moment I see only one problem. In "Installation Setting", you get an error with "Software", so you select that, then "Details". A popup with a warning comes up about 'kdebase3-SuSE-...." Select "do not install "kdebase3-SuSE" and then "OK -- ry again". Accept, and the installation works for the rest as normal. I am not sure wether this is due to the script or due to the packages itself (or a combination of both). Any insight will be welcome. I am also woring on something else. Somebody gave an idea (and some code) to use autorp¹m on a 'factory' system. That way you can make a DVD iso from any factory. Working on it now. Any insight on wether this would be a good.bad idea is as welcome as info on the kdebase3-SuSE issue. ¹http://www2.autorpm.org:8080/ Unfortunatly ity does not have a maintainer anymore. Any other idea on how to do this is welcome as well. -- houghi They say pesticides have been linked to low sperm counts. In my opinion if you have bugs down there that are so bad you need to use a pesticide, you're not gonna get laid anyway. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory-unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory-help(a)opensuse.org

Suse 10.1 and ZENworks Linux Management compatibility
by Jan Steinkuehler (AC/EDD) 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Hi, With the supplied ZMD tools I was unable to connect to a ZENworks 7 server: host1-eth0:~ # rug sa https://server Waking up ZMD...Done ERROR: Could not add 'https://server': No suitable service types could be found I suppose this happens because Suse 10.1 RC3 isn't listed in https://server/zenworks-registration/ostargets.xml (and not supported at all) As the ZMD tools are now part of the default install of Suse 10.1 I suppose it's planned to support 10.1 in later releases of Zenworks? Can anyone confirm this? -- Jan Steinkuehler Ericsson Research, Corporate Unit Ericsson GmbH, Eurolab EDD/XR/N Ericsson Allee 1 D-52134 Herzogenrath jan.steinkuehler(a)ericsson.com

[opensuse-factory] FSH: mysql & tftp
by Hans Witvliet 27 Jun '06

27 Jun '06

Just came across a message about mysql: <snip> Important: Don't forget to _backup_ your /var/lib/mysql directory before testing! <snip> The warning reminded me that by default, the mysql-data resided under /var/lib/mysql/ Which makes me wonder, according to the FSH, data belonging to servers/services should reside under /srv, just like www, ftp, tftp.... Some releases ago, apache default doc-root moved from /var/.. or /home/www to the place where it should be: /srv Why has this not been done yet for mysql and tftp?

[opensuse-factory] [Bug 169636] eth devices renamed
by Hans Witvliet 27 Jun '06

27 Jun '06

Hi, Doing some more regression tests, I was looking at some "old" problems. What is the purpose of this feature? I mean why should the kernel decide to start renaming eth-devices in the first place? I mean, if you have three (pseudo) ethernet devices, all with UNIQUE-mac address, on what ground is the kernel doing such drastic action...
