[openFATE 306323] Zimbra Mail Server Support for openSUSE 11.x
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

Feature added by: Masim Sugianto (vavai) Feature #306323, revision 1, last change by Title: Zimbra Mail Server Support for openSUSE 11.x Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Masim Sugianto (vavai) Description: Zimbra Mail Server is a popular mail server & collaboration suite. Zimbra team has decided to leave openSUSE as unsupported platform due to minimal download for their product (which should be wrong because they said Zimbra for openSUSE only 41 times downloaded comparing thousand for Ubuntu or Fedora). openSUSE is one of the best choice and strong distro for server. It would be sad to see openSUSE fans migrate to another distro only for one reason : Zimbra could not be installed on openSUSE 11.x and there is no binary package for openSUSE 11.x The best way to make openSUSE as best Distro for server area are providing Zimbra package (community builds). There is a project called Zimbra Community builds (see related article) but the author seems to hold the project. If it's possible to be build on build service or with another technique (manual build ?), I will help as much as I can for testing and implementing the binary package and providing the documentation.

[openFATE 307392] Disable logging as root by default
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

Feature added by: Piotrek Juzwiak (BenderBendingRodriguez) Feature #307392, revision 1 Title: Disable logging as root by default openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Piotrek Juzwiak (benderbendingrodriguez) Description: As some people may not understand the linux operating system principles they often log in as root which in some cases may be disastrous. I propose to disable logging as root by default, the user can always obtain root privileges by invoking su or su -. If there would be some advanced users that really need to log in as root then they will know how to "unlock" that. If i'm correct it's just a matter of adjusting some scripts right? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307392

[openFATE 308045] Switch to native printer config
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Feature added by: Markus K (KAMiKAZOW) Feature #308045, revision 1 Title: Switch to native printer config openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Markus K (kamikazow) Description: openSUSE 11.2 already ditched a few YaST modules that have native (GNOME/KDE) counterparts. One of the next steps sould be printer configuration. system-config-printer-kde is a port of GNOME's system-config-printer. The latter one is already available for openSUSE. To package scp-KDE, a similar approach to the (K)Ubuntu one makes sense: Bundle the Python files used by both into a separate package (system-config-printer-common) and then make system-config-printer-gnome and system-config-printer-kde available. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308045

[New: openFATE 308372] lib→lib32; lib64→lib
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

Feature added by: Matt Williams (Milliams) Feature #308372, revision 1 Title: lib→lib32; lib64→lib openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Matt Williams (milliams) Description: Now that 64 bit machines are almost ubiquitous, how about we make openSUSE treat 64 bit libraries as the default. This is already seen in the fact that in the buld service we have default packages and then 32 bitt packages are explicitly labeled as so. I propose: * Place all 32 bit libraries in directories called lib32 (e.g. /usr/lib32 ) * Place all 64 bit libraries in directories called lib (e.g. /usr/lib ) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308372

Feature added by: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) Feature #307624, revision 1 Title: Build all noarch subpackages as noarch openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) Description: The new RPM brought a feature which allows to build subpackages as noarch even when the main package is architecture dependent. By using this we could save lots of space on mirrors and media.

Feature added by: Jaromír Červenka (Cervajz) Feature #307872, revision 1 Title: CAcert root certificate as a part of openSUSE openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jaromír Červenka (cervajz) Description: CAcert (http://www.cacert.org/) is organisation issuing free certificates for everyone. It could be useful, when root certificate (http://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3) will be a standard part of openSUSE distro. A lot of people and companies (http://www.cacert.org/stats.php) using their certificates. Some other Linux/*nix distributions has CAcert root certificate also included (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cacert#Inclusion_status) . -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307872
