[New: openFATE 308310] OBS - External workers / Project namespace dedicated
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Feature added by: Dominique Leuenberger (dimstar) Feature #308310, revision 1 Title: OBS - External workers / Project namespace dedicated Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Dominique Leuenberger (dimstar) Description: OBS is a great platform but often the queues are long and it's difficult to schedule any timely 'release' of a package. The main issue is the available build power. Suggest to allow for 'external' workers to connect (authenticated) to the BS and act as workers. Preferrably an authenticated worker should be allowed to pick up packages where the authenticated user has maintainer rights (this eliminates pretty much the 'danger' of injection of malicious binary results: the owner of the worker has full access to the repository anyhow). Additionally it would be interesting if my 'worker farm' could be dedicated to one specific <project / target / arch> in order to plan the resources there (instead of it picking up any random package I'm maintainer, i'd prefer it favor a specific project I'm planning on having a release). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308310

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #307914, revision 1 Title: package maintenance owner handling Buildservice: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory Requested by: Dirk Mueller (dirkmueller) Description: We need to support the package maintainer handling for maintenance update via a new mechanism for the following reasons: * internal PDB is not be used anymore for openSUSE 11.2 * We have now the situation that package X may have different maintainers depending on maintained products. Current discussion points to the following needs: * bugowner needs to be set on packages also for released product projects (like openSUSE:11.1). * request mechanism to add or change a bugowner in foreign projects * maintained products/projects list must be requestable (can be hardcoded list in first attempt) * osc command needs to find all projects and package maintainers for a certain package via an api call. Later steps: * define how a maintained package can be set in the projects * support a "osc prepare_maintainance_update $package" call which creates one projects with all affected package versions for a certain package. * SWAMP integration. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307914

[openFATE 308133] Easy way to add information about a repository to be shown during its activation
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

Feature added by: Lubos Lunak (llunak) Feature #308133, revision 1 Title: Easy way to add information about a repository to be shown during its activation Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Lubos Lunak (llunak) Description: Currently there doesn't seem to be a simple way to give information to use users who add a repository. For example, users adding the KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop repository should know that the KDE provided there a working version for the next openSUSE release and it may not be as stable as they might expect (they can just read about the repository e.g. in a forum and not know more). One way to do this could be to reuse the licence dialog, showing information about the repository instead of a licence, but there appears to be no simple way to do this (it reportedly requires creating a ftp product somehow, for which I could find any usable instructions). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308133

[openFATE 306529] Deactivate build if home:user:branch:foo is inactive for 1 or 2 weeks
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

Feature added by: Jan-Simon Möller (dl9pf) Feature #306529, revision 1 Title: Deactivate build if home:user:branch:foo is inactive for 1 or 2 weeks Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jan-Simon Möller (dl9pf) Description: It would save quite some cpu-cycles if branches which are not in active use - e.g. no change in 1 or 2 weeks - would just get the build disabled. Thus the wave during each factory checkin wouldn't be that high. Or even delete branches if they're inactive for 1 or 2 weeks and only the pristine _link is there. This could be extended to disable the build for factory repos in user's home-dir if there're no checkin's for some time. I don't want to prevent ppl from tracking factory in their home: , but a plain _link is just pointless and build should be disabled automagically after some time. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306529

[New: openFATE 308381] Firefox
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Jan '10

Feature added by: Howdy Doody (wye4) Feature #308381, revision 1 Title: Firefox openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Howdy Doody (wye4) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: One of the nice features in the past concerning Firefox was the cookie management options and the clearing of private data options. The version of Firefox that comes with Suse 11.2 KDE4.3 doesn't have these options. I have always been a fanatic concerning private data. I was rather surprised to see everything work after a fresh installof Suse 11.2. Congratulations I am really happy with 11.2 KDE4.3. I only had a couple of hiccups. Accessing Kate, Kwrite or any other editor failed when using Dolphin or any file manager as the Super User. Easily fixed by bringing up a terminal and typing "xhost +local:0". I can't take credit for the fix it's been around since Suse 9 or earlier. I don't know how bad I am going to screw up your hard work but Firefox without the afore mentioned options has got to go. I'll try going to 11.1 dvd and stealing the Firefox off it. Actually I'm sure I am not alone in this concern. I understand the reasoning for setting Firefox as the default. I read the minutes. I had to smile about the ie8 under wine wise crack. Hope Konqueror gets it together by 11.3... Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Data security and cookie management is obviously a security issue. As I stated before a lot of us set Firefox to delete all the personal data when Firefox is closed. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308381

This can be done to an extent using the terminal but that's not perfect either. Because of this I have uninstalled the Updater applet and now use strictly zypper to run updates. The Updater applet will be promptly uninstalled by me on all versions of openSUSE until this feature can be added.

[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

Feature added by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Feature #308471, revision 1 Title: KBasic Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Description: I also added this as a desired package for openSUSE-11.3, being not certain where it belongs: https://features.opensuse.org/308466 KBasic is a programming language which is simply intuitive and easy to learn. It is a new programming language, a further BASIC dialect and is related to VB.NET™, Visual Basic®, Visual Basic for Application® and Java™. It combines many features of those tools and comes with built-in backward support for those tools and QBasic® as it is 100% syntax compatible to VB6, VBA and QBasic®. A web page with more information on KBasic to assist in any evaluation as to whether it is worth the effort to include in openSUSE package: http://kbasic.com/ (http://kbasic.com/) A big advantage is its reasonably similar look/feel will mean users migrating to openSUSE Linux from MS-Windows will be more at home with a programming language reasonably similar to what they are used to. Also, independant of what ever one may think of users migrating from a "Redmond" based operating system, in my view openSUSE needs a basic visual programming language for all openSUSE users who want a simple programming environment. It does not matter how the users arrived at openSUSE, nor where they originated from. openSUSE needs such a user friendly programming language environment. This kbasic package can provide that environment. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308471

Feature added by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Feature #308470, revision 1 Title: Default console IRC Chat pointed to IRC freenode #suse openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Description: Have all fresh openSUSE installs include an already configured console IRC chat program (irssi, weechat or more user friendly text chat program if available) with default config file already setup to point to freenode to IRC#suse. The intent is that if the user finds themselfs stuck in run level 3 (with internet access) with no GUI they will have an option to type the chat program via a single command, and then go to #suse for support. There would need be some design work to ensure this functions, with some way of telling new users this program is available when they find them selves suddently at run level 3 (or at a gui broken run level 5). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308470
