Feature added by: Manuel Trujillo (toomany) Feature #307723, revision 1 Title: MySQL version in 11.2 Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Manuel Trujillo (toomany) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The MySQL version included into openSUSE 11.2 is the 5.0.67.

Maybe, the two versions (5.0 and 5.1) were in the distribution (like Ubuntu/Debian). Use Case: Many companies, like us, use openSUSE for all our servers. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This would solve a lot because we would have a power optimal version for the company, within the openSUSE distribution.

[New: openFATE 308469] Automatically generated list of various private/open repositories
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 23 May '11

23 May '11

Feature added by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Feature #308469, revision 1 Title: Automatically generated list of various private/open repositories Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Description: The new build service promises to make available many new packages for openSUSE community members. It also means proliferation of many packaged rpms to varying standards, with risk of dependency problems and breakage in users openSUSE systems, who add unsupported private repositories without understanding the risk. A way forward is needed to help both the private packagers and the community in using any newly available packages where appropriate, and not using them where not appropriate for use. A way forward start (but not the final answer) would be an automatically (on a regular basis) generated list posted on a web page/site, that would list all build service repositories, with a comment/descriptive field that the build service packager is required to fill in. A recommend field could be an indication as to their planned future support for any package (ie "one of package" for private use, or "temporary package for TBD time frame", or "planned for long term support", or "packaged for private testing" ... ) etc ... With this automatically generated/re-generated list in place, openSUSE users could go to the list to help them assess if they should download and install an rpm from a repository, or indeed if they should add the repository to their software package manager's repository list. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308469

So, while installing, the download of the next package can be done (or even partially done). Waiting for terminating the intallprocess of the previous package before to download the next package makes no sense. (Every time when upgrading, this ist annoying). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306979

[openFATE 306116] Better lock handling in zypper

Feature added by: Marek Stopka (m4r3k) Feature #306116, revision 1, last change by Title: Better lock handling in zypper openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Marek Stopka (m4r3k) Description: Currently only two states in locking of packages are available (keep package as is/do not care about package) but I think it would be much more better to have a possibility lock only some parameters of package... For example you have a 64bit machine, but you want keep some package always in i586 version, but you still wanna version updates in this case there should be a possibility to lock only this parameter. Of course there is a lot of options what else can be locked, for example version of package, meaning that you can't change package version, but release number can change... -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306116
