I am looking for volunteers to maintain the two packages in $SUBJ.

I realized that rzsz was dropped from factory today and just sent the maintainership request.

How do I restore it to factory ? I can't find the package in openSUSE:Dropped

No idea why it isn't in openSUSE:Dropped - someone else will need to answer this. osc se rzsz lists the package in several repos, and it seems Base:System was the devel project. Actually your request to become maintainer there was accepted 5 hours ago. To get the package back into factory, just do a submit request to factory, like you'd do for adding a new package to factory.

and the wiki¹ is a bit scarse.

Yeah, "TBA" isn't really helpful ;-) Feel free to add "if the package still or again exists in the devel repo, do a SR to factory" to the wiki page. Maybe a hint about "osc undelete" could also be helpful - but AFAIK that has to be done by a project maintainer. Regards, Christian Boltz -- [Evolution - Message-ID] Oh ja...

Does anyone still do that? I haven't used dial up for almost 15 years. My cell phone provides a network connection.

Connecting the computer to the internet using my mobile phone, yes. But I have not seen a mobile phone which exposes an actual modem for years, but some kind of ethernet connectivity, i.e. WLAN and/or Ethernet-over-USB (ECM). For USB-WWAN sticks (which do expose a modem(-lookalike)), I prefer using ModemManager + NetworkManager. Works great, and provides me with realtime information about the physical layer connection (2G, 3G, 4G, signal strength, ...).

Exporting/sharing a connection (over WLAN, BT or USB) is different. If that functionality is available, use it. Dealing with modems and modem software directly is not a lot of fun I can tell. The Hayes Command Set, if you choose to use it, has a "dial" command that must be used, even if there is no concept of dialing on modern data networks. So you just input a magic code.

ATDT004917612345678 NO CARRIER But given a sufficiently vintage modem (perhaps with a vintage phone), that could be another way of getting a data line, though not a generally well-performing one. And that's probably why they still call it dialing... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Doesn't need to be so vintage - a USB GSM modem will typically appear as a serial port to be operated with the AT comand set (plus extensions). We're using one those for sending alert SMS'es. Not with wvdial though.

I had that, but it was 2 and 3 phones back. My current and previous phones both support tethering over USB or WiFi, which make it no different than plugging into my home network. My current notebook computer doesn't even have a serial port of dial up modem. The previous one came with a built in modem, but I lost that when I upgraded the WiFi from 802.11b to 802.11g. The modem was part of the same module as the old WiFi. The only time I need a serial port these days is when I connect to the console port on routers and switches. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Hello all,

I am looking for volunteers to maintain the two packages in $SUBJ.

We are cleaning up for SLE15 and these two will end up without maintainer.

osc reqms network wvdial osc reqms Base:System rzsz

As such if nobody steps up lets say until 26.8. I will fill up droprequest for them (Later on of course they can be re-introduced by someone who would care enough).

Cheers

It seems to have made its way back in already, but i'll help with rzsz, its needed by minicom which I very much still use / maintain.

oh yes, I can't work without minicom. I know rzsz can be used by minicom, I didn't know it was a hard requirement.

For now rzsz seems to build and run fine so we don't need to work out if it should also be dropped. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
