Feature added by: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) Feature #306579, revision 1 Title: make rpm licenses publically available Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) Description: I'd like to offer a decoder for the rpm license strings for public. I suggest to use the website license.opernsuse.org to offer a) a searchable list of licenses showing * short name (as used in rpm packages) * Long descriptive Name * License Fulltext (by reference and or local copy) b) A decoder engine explaining in plain english what a given rpm license string means.Including dual, mix, aggregate qualification. c) a validator for rpm license strings. Use Case: customer could decipher syntax customer can access license fulltext. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306579

Feature added by: Cornelius Schumacher (cschum) Feature #306761, revision 1 Title: Add CouchDB openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Cornelius Schumacher (cschum) Description: CouchDB is a distributed document-oriented database. It will be used by Ubuntu (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/Karmic/IntegratingWithUbuntuOne) for all kind of synchronized storage use case scenarios. It would be great to have CouchDB on openSUSE as well, so it can plug into this network and make use of the application support which is developed. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306761

[openFATE 307798] Amarok 2.2 in opensuse 11.2
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

Feature added by: Peter Gumbrell (gumb) Feature #307798, revision 1 Title: Amarok 2.2 in opensuse 11.2 Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Peter Gumbrell (gumb) Description: This is a late appeal to devs in view of the current release roadmap. I believe the possibility of updating the Amarok version to 2.2 in the forthcoming OS 11.2 release was rejected some weeks back in a KDE meeting, though I don't know the technical reason. Perhaps it introduces too many breakages, but I wondered if there was any prospect of developers reversing this decision, bearing in mind that other apps like SeaMonkey, Virtualbox have still been updated only this week? Also, considering the decision was made to include currently very buggy alpha releases of KDE4 apps like Kaffeine and K3B, the new Amarok 2.2 RC1 just appeared today and it seems the final release will therefore be out well before OS 11.2, possibly leaving openSUSE behind with its version compared to others in the glut of distros releasing around the October / November period. There are various changes and bugfixes in the 2.2 release, but I think most notably the inclusion of CD support for playing and ripping is a major feature many would benefit from, negating the need for installation of separate media playing or ripping apps. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307798

[New: openFATE 308368] add winbind idmap feature to "Windows Domain Membership" Yast applet
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Feature added by: Di Pe (dipe) Feature #308368, revision 1 Title: add winbind idmap feature to "Windows Domain Membership" Yast applet openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Di Pe (dipe) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The "Windows Domain Membership" Yast applet should have a feature that allows winbind to pull the uid/gid infomation from ActiveDirectory (attributes uidNumber and gidNumber) instead of using a local counter or TDB. Besides uid/gid the shell (loginShell) and the home directory (unixHomeDirectory) can also be pulled from Active Directory. A standard smb.conf for a Linux box that is joined to ActiveDirectory via winbind looks like this: [global] workgroup = XXXXX passdb backend = tdbsam printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw map to guest = Bad User include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile logon drive = P: usershare allow guests = No security = ADS idmap gid = 2000-4999 idmap uid = 2000-4999 realm = XXXXX.ORG template homedir = /home/%U template shell = /bin/bash winbind offline logon = yes winbind refresh tickets = yes if winbind has the ipmap feature enabled for Active Directory, smb.conf looks like this (tested configuration) [global] workgroup = XXXXX passdb backend = tdbsam printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw map to guest = Bad User include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile logon drive = P: usershare allow guests = No security = ADS idmap gid = 2000-4999 idmap uid = 2000-4999 realm = XXXXX.ORG template homedir = /home/%U template shell = /bin/bash winbind offline logon = yes winbind refresh tickets = yes ;log level = 3 winbind:5 idmap:5 winbind enum users = Yes winbind enum groups = Yes winbind nss info = rfc2307 winbind use default domain = yes ;idmap domains = XXXXX #not needed in latest samba idmap config XXXXX:cache time = 1800 idmap config XXXXX:range = 5000-65000 idmap config XXXXX:backend = ad idmap config XXXXX:schema_mode = rfc2307 idmap config XXXXX:default = yes schema_mode can either be 'sfu' or 'rfc2307'. rfc2307 is known by most administrators as "Windows 2003 R2" schema. In the future "Windows 2003 R2 (or newer)" should be the default schema. 'sfu' could be called "Legacy schema (sfu)" This proposal could even be the default setup since the unix LDAP attributes in Active Directory are ignored if they are not populated. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This feature allows for centralized uid/gid management which is essential if hundreds or thousands of computers are used in an enterprise network, particularly if nfs and cifs are used on multiple file servers. (see http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/idmapper.html) http://www.likewise.com/ seems to offer an enhanced version of this feature which strongly indicates that there is a certain demand for it. more details: http://samba.org/~obnox/presentations/sambaXP-2009/sambaxp-2009-talk-obnox-… -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308368

[New: openFATE 308273] Community repositories" should be default selction when adding repository

Feature added by: Birger Kollstrand (MrKane) Feature #308273, revision 1 Title: Community repositories" should be default selction when adding repository openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Birger Kollstrand (mrkane) Description: Currently the default selection in Yast->Software Repositories->Add is the Specify url" choice. >From a usaability point the "Community repository" should be default choice. 1. It is easier for a newcommer to selct in a list, rather than typing in a url. 2. I would guess that a large portio of the users would like to add excisting repositories in that list anyway. http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=549362#c1 (http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=549362#c1) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308273

Feature added by: Sascha Manns (saigkill) Feature #307256, revision 1 Title: openSUSE Developer Network openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sascha Manns (saigkill) Description: Hello Mates, today i get an Idea for our Project. We can create an new Project like MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) specially for OpenSUSE. I thought we can make an DowloadSite (1-Klick) for needed Software. Another Tab includes the API RReferences from KDE4, GNOME and other Stuff. In the Tab Learning we can include some HowTo's for Programming. That's just an thought. Maybe you like it...

[openFate 305725] Use gettext for gconf schemas translations
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Feature added by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #305725, revision 1, last change by Title: Use gettext for gconf schemas translations openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The translations of all the descriptions of gconf keys in schemas are already in the gettext files of the application. Removing them from the schemas would make the packages smaller and would possibly improve gconf performance in normal usage (ie, outside of gconf-editor, where the descriptions are used). Martin Pitt and I talked about this, and Martin has implemented it for Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123025 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305725
