[openFATE 306007] Ship more vanilla

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 307065] Terminate DVD image creation and only provide LiveCDs and Net Installs
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Feature added by: Stephen Kellat (skellat) Feature #307065, revision 1 Title: Terminate DVD image creation and only provide LiveCDs and Net Installs openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Stephen Kellat (skellat) Description: The discussion in openFATE #306967 relates to making KDE the default desktop environment for openSUSE. The question of choice arises there. A work-around to this would be to cease creating DVD images for installation and instead focus on LiveCDs and Net Install discs. Parity across desktop environments would be possible in having separate GNOME and KDE LiveCDs while also promoting Xfce into its own LiveCD instead of its obscurity on the DVD. As for Net Install discs, those are intended for experienced users so the rationale being exhibited in #306967 for catering to the needs of new users would not necessarily apply. Net Install discs could keep an expanded desktop environment choice list. Test Case: User desires GNOME experience in openSUSE and downloads the GNOME LiveCD. The kicker at http://software.opensuse.org would make the choice available to the user. Other users desire a KDE experience, an Xfce experience, or an LXDE experience would also be potentially directed by the kicker. ISO naming conventions would have to be adjusted to take into account the variety of LiveCDs possible. Use Case: Building LiveCDs decreases the amount of bandwidth to be consumed by potential users who would otherwise secure the DVD ISO. SUSEStudio could be tied in so that project leaders who were so minded could offer refreshed respins on their own outside the normal distribution cycle. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307065

[openFATE 306512] Web Services for Management (WS-Man) has official port numbers now
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Nov '09

Feature added by: Klaus Kämpf (kwk) Feature #306512, revision 1 Title: Web Services for Management (WS-Man) has official port numbers now openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Klaus Kämpf (kwk) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: >From the openwsman-devel list From: A_Venkatachalam(a)Dell.com To: openwsman-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net Cc: Vivek_Rajendran(a)Dell.com, Girish_Prakash(a)Dell.com, Chandrasekhar_P(a)Dell.com Subject: [Openwsman-devel] Ports for OpenWSMAN Hi Currently OpenWSMAN 2.1 uses 8888 and 8889 as the default HTTPS and HTTP ports respectively. But as per IANA the registered ports for WSMAN are 5985(HTTP) and 5986(HTTPS) http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers wsman 5985/tcp WBEM WS-Management HTTP wsman 5985/udp WBEM WS-Management HTTP wsmans 5986/tcp WBEM WS-Management HTTP over TLS/SSL wsmans 5986/udp WBEM WS-Management HTTP over TLS/SSL We need to update “openwsman.conf” to make use of these ports by default. Already MS Winrm2.0 is making use of these ports. Thanks, Arun Venkatachalam Dell R & D Centre, Bangalore. Extn - 78973 Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Be standards compliant, especially in mixed Windows/Linux enivronments. Discussion: #1: Klaus Kämpf (kwk) (2009-06-15 11:51:12) Changing ports in a SP upgrade might be harmful. Being standards-compatible might outweight the downsides. Needs PM decision ;-) #2: Klaus Kämpf (kwk) (2009-06-15 11:51:56) If we decide to change ports, yast-firewall and documentation might need to be adapted. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306512

[openFATE 306967] KDE default
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

Feature added by: Frank Karlitschek (FrankKarlitschek) Feature #306967, revision 1 Title: KDE default openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Frank Karlitschek (frankkarlitschek) Description: I propose to make KDE the default desktop in openSUSE. - It is confusing for new Linux users if they have to decide between KDE and GNOME during the installation. New users don´t know either of them. So it is easier for beginners if there is a default. openSUSE has more KDE users than GNOME users so it is logical to make KDE the default. - Unique Selling Point. It is important for openSUSE to provide something that Ubuntu and Fedora don´t provide. It would be beneficial for openSUSE to be the only big KDE distribution. - This could attract more developers because KDE developers need a nice distribution to develop on. - This would increase the popularity of openSUSE in the KDE user community. The negative impact on the GNOME community is not that bad because Ubuntu is the most popular GNOME distribution. openSUSE should, of course, also ship and support GNOME. So experienced users can choose. But new users should have KDE as default. What do you think? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306967

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.
