[openFATE 306896] Zypp-proxy - A proxy cache server for zypper updates

Feature added by: Alex Tsariounov (tsariounov) Feature #306896, revision 1 Title: Zypp-proxy - A proxy cache server for zypper updates Hackweek IV: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Alex Tsariounov (tsariounov) Description: This project will create zypp-proxy which is a server proxy used for caching update packages that are used by machines on the local network on a locally designated host machine that acts as a proxy to the openSUSE updates repositories. The project is similar in function and requirements to the Debian project apt-proxy, details of which can be found here: http://apt-proxy.sourceforge.net/ This project is useful for those who run many local (both physical and virtual) openSUSE machines and like to keep them up to date with updates; however, they do not wish to waste bandwidth for downloading the same updates over and over to all local machines whether when keeping exisiting machines up to date, or building new machines and having to re-download all updates yet again. For some people, simply mirroring the entire openSUSE updates repository is sufficient to provide local network updates; however, for most, since they do not use near as many packages as that repository provides, doing this simply wastes disk space. These people will find zypp-proxy most useful. Both server and client setup will be quite simple. The server will use the public openSUSE updates repositories to check for updates. The clients will point to the local server (the proxy) machine for updates rather than the public servers. When a client requests an update, the zypp-proxy server first checks if the public server has a more up to date package that what it has cached locally. If the public server doesn't, then zypp-proxy serves the locally cached package. If the public server does have a more up to date package, then zypp-proxy first downloads it to its local cache and then serves it to the client. How many old versions of packages to keep will be a configurable. The first implementation will support openSUSE 11.1 only, with support for other openSUSE releases following suit. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306896

[openFATE 307884] Yafaray instead of Yafray for Blender

Feature added by: Rene Bernhard (rebe) Feature #307884, revision 1 Title: Yafaray instead of Yafray for Blender Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Rene Bernhard (rebe) Description: Hello. As the Yafray render engine for Blender is not longer developed I apreciate if you would replace it with the Yafaray render engine in one of the next openSUSE versions. Or maybe it is possible to make a package for the repositories to download. Thank you very much for your efforts. Best regards rebe -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307884

[openFATE 305914] PAC support for 'system wide proxy configuration'
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 Dec '15

05 Dec '15

Feature added by: Dominique Leuenberger (dimstar) Feature #305914, revision 1, last change by Title: PAC support for 'system wide proxy configuration' openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Dominique Leuenberger (dimstar) Description: The distribution now contains libproxy and we should try to make as much use of it as possible. A big advantage is the ability to parse PAC (Proxy AutoConfiguration) without the need for this in every application. Simply linking against libproxy with it's very simple API (3 API calls, 2 without parameters) is enugh to have the advantage of no longer needing to 'guess' what proxy to use. What is now: - You can set in yast / proxy a general proxy to be used (http://foo.proxy.com:1234) This is bascially put into http_proxy envvar. In gnome you can set user proxy configuration as: - Use System Proxy (as configured in yast) - Use proxy configuration (static, same options as in yast) - Use automatic proxy configuration script Yast lacks the option to specify a PAC script on system wide level. This is only possible in the user sessions configuration. This made sense as most applications don't know how to handle pac files anyway. But with libroxy, this hurdle can be taken away from every single application and can thus be offered. I'm glad to elaborate on questions; I'm sure there are some :-) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305914

[openFATE 308151] https://features.opensuse.org/ needs user friendly CSS
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 17 May '15

Feature added by: Felix Miata (mrmazda) Feature #308151, revision 1 Title: https://features.opensuse.org/ needs user friendly CSS openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Felix Miata (mrmazda) Description: Details: 1-inadequate contrast many places. #000 on #FFF is only too contrasty for people with improperly adjusted displays. For those with correctly adjusted displays, and old displays with brightness and contrast already set to maximum anything less is easily too little. #363636 is marginal, #666666 much too light, for reading comfort with properly adjusted displays. 2-textarea and input fields reject keyboard cut & paste, and mouse operated cut & paste leaves unwanted extra newlines and unexpected focus location 3-fonts most places are too small. example: #main_content_wrapper and .medium-font should result in medium font, which is 1em, not 64% of medium, which is the usual physical result of font-size: .8em. 10pt, the size set on div.feature, is usually about 69% of the physical size of the most common browser default, not very friendly. Most knowlegeable web stylists know that sizing text in pt is a bad idea, as it and px totally disregard users' font size preferences.

[openFate 305356] 802.1x authentication on wired network using YaST via wpa_supplicant
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Apr '15

22 Apr '15

Feature added by: Marius Tomaschewski <mt(a)novell.com> Feature #305356, revision 1, last change by Title: 802.1x authentication on wired network using YaST via wpa_supplicant openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Marius Tomaschewski <mt(a)novell.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Some networks using 802.1x authentication on metallic Ethernet and I think it would be cool have a possibility, handle this connection type using YaST. The major problem to support this is that the wpa_supplicant is in /usr/sbin; it seems also to be difficult to move it to /sbin because of all the libs the wpa_supplicant is using. What would be required, is to extent the "supported_on_localfs" function to check this and start the interface in remotefs flow when 802.1x is enabled. That is, using remotefs on 802.1x authenticated interfaces would be not possible -- same as with NetworkManager. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305356
