Feature added by: Sascha Manns (saigkill) Feature #305866, revision 1, last change by Title: osc/obs: load Packages from every Project without Link Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Sascha Manns (saigkill) Description: If i build Packages with OBS/OSC, i must link Packages from other Project to my own. I wish me, that future Releases from OBS/OSC solve the depencies automaticly, and load the Packages from every Repository. Other Way, is if we give Repositories an Priority Number. So the OSC/OBS works first with the high Priority Repos. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305866

Now SaX have option for set display size in millimeters, but it not usefull. By automatic detection SaX make strange DPI means like 95x101 or 84x91 or something else. This values produce ugly font rendering. I suggest to make an option to set fixed DPI for screen, or easier set of physycal screen size in millimetrs to make an wanted DPI like 96, that mean DPI : 96x96 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306195

[openFATE 305807] Make cleanup in applications and Control Center

Feature added by: Piotrek Juzwiak (BenderBendingRodriguez) Feature #305807, revision 1, last change by Title: Make cleanup in applications and Control Center openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Piotrek Juzwiak (benderbendingrodriguez) Description: What i find every time very irritating is the idea behind Control Center and applications. It should be clearly differed. After a clean install there are too many configuration tools in the applications browser what makes it difficult to browse (despite having an option to search, of course if You know what You are searching for). Not everyone knows how to clean everything up, in my example most configuration tools are in the Control Center what makes A LOT more room for applications in Application Browser what makes it easier to browse for apps. SO: make a clear distinction of what is a configuration tool and what is an application. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305807

Feature added by: Emmanuel Rouët (erouet) Feature #306352, revision 1, last change by Title: mod_proxy_ajp: support for "subscribe" method openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Emmanuel Rouët (erouet) Description: With mod_jk, the "unknown" methods were handled as attributes and still forwarded. In AJP, "unknown" methods are not allowed to be compressed & will not be forwarded and the connection is broken. Shouldn't AJP provide feature parity ? Currently, the list of methods supported by AJP does not include "subscribe": http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy_ajp.html#overviewprotocol However, Apache.org states "Later version of ajp13, will transport additional methods, even if they are not in this list." -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306352
