Feature added by: Pavol Rusnak <prusnak(a)novell.com> Feature #305595, revision 1, last change by Title: Show dependencies between packages in repo Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Pavol Rusnak <prusnak(a)novell.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: * Show dependencies (Requires, BuildRequires) between packages in repository OBS should provide lists of required packages (runtime and build dependencies) - BuildRequires could be extracted from spec files - it is important to show also reverse dependencies (eg. which packages depend on the package I'm maintaining) - Requires are much harder (will probably need also symbol resolution), but not so desperately needed as BuildRequires -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305595

Feature added by: Marek Stopka (m4r3k) Feature #306006, revision 1, last change by Title: btrfs in openSUSE openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Marek Stopka (m4r3k) Description: I think it is time to make btrfs as a part of upcoming openSUSE 11.2, probably with BIG warning but still there should be possibility to use btrfs and even better with some kind of integration in YaST disk module... Fedora is going for btrfs with next release either. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306006

[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

[openFATE 305783] Integrate latest stable KDE4 release
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Feature added by: Stephan Binner (Beineri) Feature #305783, revision 1, last change by Title: Integrate latest stable KDE4 release openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Stephan Binner (beineri) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Depending on what the openSUSE 11.2 schedule allows, the next release has to contain either the latest KDE 4.2.x or KDE 4.3.x packages including usual nifties (see external link) and integration with the distribution. In any case it should be tested and run with Qt 4.5 and KDE applications should be used in KDE4 versions as far as possible.

[openFate 305624] Allow downloading all packages before installing
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Feature added by: Jiri Srain <jsrain(a)novell.com> Feature #305624, revision 1, last change by Title: Allow downloading all packages before installing openSUSE-11.2: New Requested by: Jiri Srain (jsrain) Interested: Duncan Mac-Vicar (dmacvicar) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Libzypp should allow to set a policy to first download all packages and afterwards install all packages at once. It should be considered whether to enable this policy under some scenarios (e.g. makes sense for online update, but not for distro installation) References: https://bugzilla.novell.com:443/show_bug.cgi?id=448040 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305624

[openFate 305730] Add Package-Wishlist as 'Products' Component
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 21 Oct '09

21 Oct '09

Feature added by: Lars Vogdt (lrupp) Feature #305730, revision 1, last change by Title: Add Package-Wishlist as 'Products' Component openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Lars Vogdt (lrupp) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: So current solution for openSUSE users to suggest new packages for inclusion in openSUSE is a bit complicated and diverted in many places: * see the Wislists (http://en.opensuse.org/Wishlist) in the Wiki * see the Bugzilla (http://devzilla.novell.com/education/) of openSUSE-Education * see Novells Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.novell.com/) * see the openSUSE-Forums and Mailinglists... A possible solution with the new openFATE could be to unify the process to request new packages for openSUSE on one single place: openFATE! To make requests of new packages easy, someone should be able to file a request against a "Product" named "New packages" or "Package Wishlist". Perhaps it's possible to create a simple Wizard for this special product in the future, including: * At least two mandatory fields for packagename and upstream URL * and a simple "search for pending requests" after entering the two mandatory fields to avoid duplicates. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305730

[openFate 305702] Finer checks for a syslog reload need in dhcp client scripts
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Oct '09

Feature added by: Marius Tomaschewski (mtomaschewski) Feature #305702, revision 1, last change by Title: Finer checks for a syslog reload need in dhcp client scripts openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Karl Katzke (karlkatzke) Interested: Stefan Behlert (sbehlert) Interested: Stephan Kulow (coolo) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Syslog reloads every time the DHCP lease is renewed, even though the "change hostname via DHCP" option is turned off in the configuration. Finer control requested in bugzilla, bug 466198, by Karl Katzke. Would be a finer control / finer checks (hostname, ip address changes) desirable to implement? Relations: - syslog does not get right hostname when dhcp is used (novell/bugzilla/id: 116466) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=116466 - DHCP renewal causes syslog-ng reset even if host name has not changed (novell/bugzilla/id: 466198) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466198 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305702
