I would love to be able to download it and use on my own. Perhaps make it available ready to run as a virtual appliance?

[New: openFATE 308346] Make notifications work even after evolution window is closed
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Feature added by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Feature #308346, revision 1 Title: Make notifications work even after evolution window is closed openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Description: Evolution has a notification-plugin that currently is supposed to work only when the main window of evolution is running. After closing the evolution window one does not get notifications for new mail arriving, even though he/she might have selected the check for new mail every X min option. The feature request is to make the notifications in evolution work even when evolution is closed (Ctrl+W), so that the system tray icon shows up whenever evolution knows of arriving new mails despite the main application not running (evolution-data-server still running in the background). Thus, firstly evolution has to have knowledge of incoming new mails despite running only as a background service, and second, the notification-icon must show up whenever new mails are detected (as configured). This way users will get notifications for new mails without having to run the main app window all the time. This happens for alarms for events set up in evolution currently. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308346

[New: openFATE 308339] Universal installer
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

Feature added by: Gerrit Mackor (itbgjm) Feature #308339, revision 1 Title: Universal installer Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Gerrit Mackor (itbgjm) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Hello I would like to see a universal installer for Linux that works on all distros. Something that can do all the install work from a installer file and data files if necessary. They way I see it is that this will make developing applications for Linux more interesting as users will no longer need to use the MAKE utility or scripts pretty much meaning that the user is super user. This is on bit of software that will take Linux from the hobby environment to a more usable alternative. Using openSUSE I see that often I am asked for librarys. As an end user I do not really care what libraby is used, the application needs to work and all other apps need to work. Hope this will be possible. UPDATE: It seems that the installer part is being worked on. Se an extract on an interview below: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AJ: There are certain things that make a lot of sense, especially in RPM. When you release software as source code you want people to make binaries - it helps a lot if you make a .spec file. But if one .spec file only works on one distribution, and you have to write another .spec file for another distribution, it's not easy. That's what we're trying to solve - we're working on guidelines of how to write .spec files. We're working on RPMs having the same sets of patches, so that they get upstream as much as possible. TR: I'd like to see package names becoming uniform across distros... AJ: That will be the discussion as well, moving forward... a naming scheme, like Debian has with shared libraries. That's one aspect of distributions working together. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Taking the above a little further would be to remove the libraries from end users' view. As an end user I do not care what library I need. I would like to install an application and it must simply work.

[New: openFATE 308398] Visual checkfs on boot
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 27 Dec '09

27 Dec '09

Feature added by: Alberto Garcia (trebol-a) Feature #308398, revision 1 Title: Visual checkfs on boot Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Alberto Garcia (trebol-a) Description: When the system (EXT3) is booting, launch a checking of filesystem every 65 days. A non-advanced user, one day, suddenly, that your computer take a long time and not show the Desktop... ...wait... and wait ...and press RESET button again. On several home computers that I maintain, the normal time of boot is ( about 1-2 minutes), one day, is multiplied by 10 or 20 WITHOUT visual indications. Is posible that openSuse show an visual alert over splashScreen in these situations? Some special loading icon of "extraordinary delay by checking FS, a moment please ...."?

[New: openFATE 308305] Add dotted rectangle enclosing virtual partitions in partitioner's graph view
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 27 Dec '09

27 Dec '09

Feature added by: Marco Poletti (poletti_marco) Feature #308305, revision 1 Title: Add dotted rectangle enclosing virtual partitions in partitioner's graph view Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Marco Poletti (poletti_marco) Description: In the Graph view of the Partitioner, logical and primary partitions are displayed in the same way and the extended partition isn't shown. I would display a dotted rectangle around logical partitions. If there are no logical partitions I would still display an empty dotted rectangle if there is an extended partition. I reported this as a bug (540635), but it's not considered important enough to implement. I agree this is not high priority, but it would be nice to have IMHO. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308305

[openFATE 306007] Ship more vanilla
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Dec '09

12 Dec '09

Feature added by: Klaas Freitag (kfreitag) Feature #306007, revision 1, last change by Title: Ship more vanilla openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Klaas Freitag (kfreitag) Description: Upstream projects such as KDE 4 often are developed with very high care for usability, design and eye candy, staffed with high skilled specialists and/or artists. openSUSE modifications against the vanilla versions sometimes do not really improve the upstream version. Moreover, these kind of modifications often kind of rebrand the projects, for example by replacing the KDE startmenu button by an openSUSE branded one. The openSUSE distribution as a community project should maintain the brand of the upstream projects and not hide them from the distributions users. Also patching vanilla behaviors where not technically needed or fixing problems should be handled very carefully and only happen in good dialog with upstream. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306007
