Feature added by: Pavol Rusnak <prusnak(a)novell.com> Feature #305595, revision 1, last change by Title: Show dependencies between packages in repo Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Pavol Rusnak <prusnak(a)novell.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: * Show dependencies (Requires, BuildRequires) between packages in repository OBS should provide lists of required packages (runtime and build dependencies) - BuildRequires could be extracted from spec files - it is important to show also reverse dependencies (eg. which packages depend on the package I'm maintaining) - Requires are much harder (will probably need also symbol resolution), but not so desperately needed as BuildRequires -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305595

[openFate 305624] Allow downloading all packages before installing
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Feature added by: Jiri Srain <jsrain(a)novell.com> Feature #305624, revision 1, last change by Title: Allow downloading all packages before installing openSUSE-11.2: New Requested by: Jiri Srain (jsrain) Interested: Duncan Mac-Vicar (dmacvicar) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Libzypp should allow to set a policy to first download all packages and afterwards install all packages at once. It should be considered whether to enable this policy under some scenarios (e.g. makes sense for online update, but not for distro installation) References: https://bugzilla.novell.com:443/show_bug.cgi?id=448040 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305624

[openFate 305730] Add Package-Wishlist as 'Products' Component
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 21 Oct '09

21 Oct '09

Feature added by: Lars Vogdt (lrupp) Feature #305730, revision 1, last change by Title: Add Package-Wishlist as 'Products' Component openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Lars Vogdt (lrupp) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: So current solution for openSUSE users to suggest new packages for inclusion in openSUSE is a bit complicated and diverted in many places: * see the Wislists (http://en.opensuse.org/Wishlist) in the Wiki * see the Bugzilla (http://devzilla.novell.com/education/) of openSUSE-Education * see Novells Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.novell.com/) * see the openSUSE-Forums and Mailinglists... A possible solution with the new openFATE could be to unify the process to request new packages for openSUSE on one single place: openFATE! To make requests of new packages easy, someone should be able to file a request against a "Product" named "New packages" or "Package Wishlist". Perhaps it's possible to create a simple Wizard for this special product in the future, including: * At least two mandatory fields for packagename and upstream URL * and a simple "search for pending requests" after entering the two mandatory fields to avoid duplicates. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305730

[openFate 305702] Finer checks for a syslog reload need in dhcp client scripts
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Feature added by: Marius Tomaschewski (mtomaschewski) Feature #305702, revision 1, last change by Title: Finer checks for a syslog reload need in dhcp client scripts openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Karl Katzke (karlkatzke) Interested: Stefan Behlert (sbehlert) Interested: Stephan Kulow (coolo) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Syslog reloads every time the DHCP lease is renewed, even though the "change hostname via DHCP" option is turned off in the configuration. Finer control requested in bugzilla, bug 466198, by Karl Katzke. Would be a finer control / finer checks (hostname, ip address changes) desirable to implement? Relations: - syslog does not get right hostname when dhcp is used (novell/bugzilla/id: 116466) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=116466 - DHCP renewal causes syslog-ng reset even if host name has not changed (novell/bugzilla/id: 466198) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466198 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305702

Discussion: #1: Arvin Schnell <aschnell(a)novell.com> (2008-10-17 04:05:48) I know, same is true for RAID6. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305343

[openFate 305631] vlan support in initrd
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Feature added by: Bernhard Walle <bwalle(a)novell.com> Feature #305631, revision 1, last change by Title: vlan support in initrd openSUSE-11.2: New Requested by: Bernhard Walle (bwalle) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Quoting from Bugzilla 415389 (because external reporters are not able to create a FATE entry): It would be very useful to be able to create vlan network interfaces in initrd via kernel command line parameters. This makes network support in initrd more complete. In our case we need vlan support because all servers have two physical network interfaces. eth0 is connected to the default vlan, which is internet in our case. eth1 is a trunk interface connected to several internal vlans. We need the vlans to seperate traffic from different virtual machines. Only one vlan supports nfs, other vlans are more restricted or private to a customer owning a virtual machine. Because a xen dom0 server doesn't need much diskspace, we boot them from the network. This requires the initrd to login to the nfs server, which requires vlan support. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I don't see any business case here. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305631

[openFate 305594] Logging support for osc meta and others ...
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Feature added by: Pavol Rusnak <prusnak(a)novell.com> Feature #305594, revision 1, last change by Title: Logging support for osc meta and others ... Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Pavol Rusnak <prusnak(a)novell.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: * The logging support missing for osc meta and other potentially dangerous ctions. When anyone changes a project conf for example, there's no information who changed what. So the current commit logs support should be extended to all other changes in package/project. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305594

[openFate 305731] Remove scrollkeeper
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Feature added by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #305731, revision 1, last change by Title: Remove scrollkeeper openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: We should remove scrollkeeper from the distribution and only use a rarian-based solution. This implies working upstream on migrating the modules. Also, we could make packages install their help in /usr/share/datatir/gnome-panel/help (eg), instead of /usr/share/gnome/help which is difficult to handle from a package ownership point of view. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305731

[openFate 305345] Replace cups-autoconfig with hal-cups-utils
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Feature added by: Vincent Untz <vuntz(a)novell.com> Feature #305345, revision 1, last change by Title: Replace cups-autoconfig with hal-cups-utils openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz <vuntz(a)novell.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: In openSUSE, we use cups-autoconfig to automatically configure new printers detected by HAL. However, no other distro uses this, and hal-cups-utils seems to be the long-term solution. Switching to hal-cups-utils means easier maintenance for us. hal-cups-utils also ships the hal backend for cups that we have in cups-backends. I've packaged a new cups-backends package (without the hal backend) and a hal-cups-utils package (with the hal backend, patched like what we had in cups-backends) in home:vuntz:factory-playground. So it's all ready for testing. Note: yast2-printer makes it possible to edit /etc/cups-autoconfig.conf. We might want to keep the configuration option of /etc/cups-autoconfig.conf in hal-cups-utils. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305345
