[openFATE 306175] More powerful Build Service search
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

Feature added by: Will Stephenson (wstephenson) Feature #306175, revision 1, last change by Title: More powerful Build Service search Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Will Stephenson (wstephenson) Description: Sometimes you only want to search the 'official' projects, not everyone's scratch projects. An 'exclude home: projects' toggle in osc and the web frontend would be a good start This could be implemented as a specialisation of an --exclude-projects-matching <regexp> - and then you need a --search-only-matching <regexp> option for symmetry. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306175

Feature added by: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) Feature #306579, revision 1 Title: make rpm licenses publically available Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) Description: I'd like to offer a decoder for the rpm license strings for public. I suggest to use the website license.opernsuse.org to offer a) a searchable list of licenses showing * short name (as used in rpm packages) * Long descriptive Name * License Fulltext (by reference and or local copy) b) A decoder engine explaining in plain english what a given rpm license string means.Including dual, mix, aggregate qualification. c) a validator for rpm license strings. Use Case: customer could decipher syntax customer can access license fulltext. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306579

Feature added by: Cornelius Schumacher (cschum) Feature #306761, revision 1 Title: Add CouchDB openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Cornelius Schumacher (cschum) Description: CouchDB is a distributed document-oriented database. It will be used by Ubuntu (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/Karmic/IntegratingWithUbuntuOne) for all kind of synchronized storage use case scenarios. It would be great to have CouchDB on openSUSE as well, so it can plug into this network and make use of the application support which is developed. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306761

[openFate 305725] Use gettext for gconf schemas translations
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Feature added by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #305725, revision 1, last change by Title: Use gettext for gconf schemas translations openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The translations of all the descriptions of gconf keys in schemas are already in the gettext files of the application. Removing them from the schemas would make the packages smaller and would possibly improve gconf performance in normal usage (ie, outside of gconf-editor, where the descriptions are used). Martin Pitt and I talked about this, and Martin has implemented it for Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123025 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305725

Feature added by: Karl Eichwalder (keichwa) Feature #306310, revision 1, last change by Title: Improve Section About Keyboard Configuration openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Karl Eichwalder (keichwa) Description: What about explaining here how to add the Euro sign to e.g. the 5 key on the keyboard... And what to do with the 'Win/Start' key. Should it be Meta, Hyper, Super, etc? What is the difference? http://doccomments.provo.novell.com/admin/main?/admin/viewcomment/10258 References: http://doccomments.provo.novell.com/admin/main?/admin/viewcomment/10258 Comment: 8174 http://www.novell.com/documentation/opensuse110/opensuse110_startup/data/ch… Customer email: beheer at vahsen dot nl Customer name: Rob Vahsen -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306310

[openFATE 306508] external checksum for supplied files
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Feature added by: Marcus Meissner (msmeissn) Feature #306508, revision 1 Title: external checksum for supplied files openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Marcus Meissner (msmeissn) Description: (on behalf of Elmar Stellnberger) I would appreciate the OpenSuse-project to keep sha-1s/md5sums of all valid files as other professional OS vendors do (Microsoft, Apple). I believe the effort to implement this would not be too high; the creation of an automatic cheksum list could be implemented in the build service (see also: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=491193). To me keeping such a list is the only way to verify that a system is clean because in my case attackers succeeded to alter the checksum table of the rpm database (rootkit was additionally not found by any antivirus sw i.e. clamav, norton, chkrootkit, etc.). Without such a checksum table I had to recreate a plain installation by hand (i.e. some self written script) by redownloading exactly the same realease and package versions from the same source as they had been drawn originally from in order to compare both roots: very cumbersome, laborious (about 2000 packages) and error prone; some packages from Packman differed although they were of same version, release and download URL; others were not available any more. I believe maintaining such a checksum table would be a true win for the Opensuse project in means of security and error reporting.

[openFATE 305946] NetworkManager - Autoselect correct peap version
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Feature added by: Helmut Schaa (hschaa) Feature #305946, revision 1, last change by Title: NetworkManager - Autoselect correct peap version openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Helmut Schaa (hschaa) Description: If no peap version is specified wpa_supplicant will already choose the right one. However, NetworkManager does not make use of that feature yet. It would be much easier for users to select peapversion "Auto" instead of having to know if the authentication server allows version 0 or 1. The peap version selection should still be possible as the user may restrict the connection to a specific peap version. Hence, I suggest a drop down combo with the items "Auto", "version 0" and "version 1". -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305946

[openFATE 306330] Creating .document files for PDF and HTML
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Feature added by: Karl Eichwalder (keichwa) Feature #306330, revision 1, last change by Title: Creating .document files for PDF and HTML openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Karl Eichwalder (keichwa) Description: To make PDFs visible in yelp, we need .document file; for more information, see fate#306322. The same is valid for HTML output. All I need is the title in the "Name" entry of a .document file. The rest I'll create at packaging time with my script. "make package" resp. make package-html resp. "make package-pdf" must create these files. As the file name I propose to use $(BOOK)_$(LL).document. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306330

[openFATE 305851] Include kiwi-ltsp in Factory
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Feature added by: Stephan Kulow (coolo) Feature #305851, revision 1, last change by Title: Include kiwi-ltsp in Factory openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jigish Gohil (cyberorg) Description: I've been maintaining KIWI-LTSP: LTSP5 implementation on openSUSE using KIWI in server:ltsp Build Service repository, now it is at the stable and production ready state. This is request to include the packages(not all of them) in openSUSE Factory, and possibly 11.3 later. Relations: - Include kiwi-ltsp in Factory (novell/bugzilla/id: 474360) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474360 Discussion: #1: Jigish Gohil (cyberorg) (2009-02-10 08:42:08) Should this have gone on https://features.opensuse.org/ ? #2: andrea florio (anubisg1) (2009-02-10 09:16:58) +1 for me... kiwi-ltsp is great and works fine! #3: Shrenik Bhura (sbhura) (2009-02-11 05:20:31) The inclusion will largely serve as an impetus for further development of this great project. With increased exposure, the motivation to deliver a quality project shall also increase. #4: Ken Yap (ken_yap) (2009-02-11 06:31:44) Yes, please include it in OpenSUSE, it will make OpenSUSE more attractive to people who want to build thin client clusters. #5: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-02-11 06:53:23) why not Factory:Contrib? And I agree with #1 Having it in Factory means currently that someone from novell needs to review them and that's why we created contrib where everyone capable can maintain packages that go with a specific openSUSE release. And for having it on the DVD it's a bit too special use case, so it would be online repo only anyway. #6: Jigish Gohil (cyberorg) (2009-02-11 07:00:00) Not on the DVD, but Factory and OSS online repo. Instead of Contrib isn't current location - server:ltsp more appropriate? Idea is to include it officially in the distribution. I am sure we can make a same kind of arrangement we have in place for compiz to maintain this as well. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305851
