[openFATE 305859] Make installation history accessible from Yast GUI

Feature added by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Feature #305859, revision 1, last change by Title: Make installation history accessible from Yast GUI openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Description: As there is now (since openSUSE 11.1) a way to access the history of installed packages and their dependencies, it would be very useful if this history could be accessed from the Yast GUI. In the present implementation, zypper saves the history in a file (/var/log/zypp/history) which is very obscure. The history thus shown from yast should be able to show official-updates and non-official upgrades in different categories. Use Case: 1. Install new software, software not working (or not liked), look-up history start yast, look-up history, uninstall software and installed dependencies. 2. Online update, something goes wrong (upgraded software not working or something), look-up history to see recent updates and revert (all from yast). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305859

[openFATE 306982] Create an open SLES
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 03 Oct '11

03 Oct '11

Feature added by: Stephen Shaw (decriptor) Feature #306982, revision 1 Title: Create an open SLES Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Stephen Shaw (decriptor) Description: It would be great to have something like centos but that is based off of SLES. This would give people the abililty to use openSLES (for example) and move over to SLES if needed. I believe it would help to grow our user base in the enterprise as well by allowing small companies to start and grow and later move to a supported model. I don't think we would loss customers as these are the people that probably wouldn't be buying licenses in the first place. As they grow this could completely change and they would be well positioned to buy support from Novell. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306982

There should be no legal issues with this now as qt now has a free licence. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307491

[openFATE 306323] Zimbra Mail Server Support for openSUSE 11.x
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

Feature added by: Masim Sugianto (vavai) Feature #306323, revision 1, last change by Title: Zimbra Mail Server Support for openSUSE 11.x Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Masim Sugianto (vavai) Description: Zimbra Mail Server is a popular mail server & collaboration suite. Zimbra team has decided to leave openSUSE as unsupported platform due to minimal download for their product (which should be wrong because they said Zimbra for openSUSE only 41 times downloaded comparing thousand for Ubuntu or Fedora). openSUSE is one of the best choice and strong distro for server. It would be sad to see openSUSE fans migrate to another distro only for one reason : Zimbra could not be installed on openSUSE 11.x and there is no binary package for openSUSE 11.x The best way to make openSUSE as best Distro for server area are providing Zimbra package (community builds). There is a project called Zimbra Community builds (see related article) but the author seems to hold the project. If it's possible to be build on build service or with another technique (manual build ?), I will help as much as I can for testing and implementing the binary package and providing the documentation.

[openFATE 307392] Disable logging as root by default
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

Feature added by: Piotrek Juzwiak (BenderBendingRodriguez) Feature #307392, revision 1 Title: Disable logging as root by default openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Piotrek Juzwiak (benderbendingrodriguez) Description: As some people may not understand the linux operating system principles they often log in as root which in some cases may be disastrous. I propose to disable logging as root by default, the user can always obtain root privileges by invoking su or su -. If there would be some advanced users that really need to log in as root then they will know how to "unlock" that. If i'm correct it's just a matter of adjusting some scripts right? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307392

Feature added by: Martin Marx (nitro424) Feature #307172, revision 1 Title: Remove unneeded packages openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Martin Marx (nitro424) Description: I need a possibility to remove unneeded, automaticly installed software (orphans). Ubuntu example: apt-get autoremove Mandriva example: urpme packagename (Invoke it simply with urpme packagename to remove a package and any packages that depend on it.) Arch Linux example: pacman -Rsn; pacman -Rsnc; pacman -Qdt; this is my favorite I like to install and try different software. After trying it, I often want to remove it completely. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307172

[openFATE 306627] depencency tracking for uninstalling
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 23 Jul '11

23 Jul '11

Feature added by: Jacques Boulet (oneinch) Feature #306627, revision 1 Title: depencency tracking for uninstalling openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jacques Boulet (oneinch) Description: The openSuSE package management is virtually unbeatable in the dependency tracking for installing department. But when it comes to uninstalling it really leaves little to be desired. It would be great if YAST and zypper kept track of the dependencies that were installed for a specific package during its install and checked the dependencies during the uninstall to see if they are in use by something else or not. And if not then give the ability to remove the unused dependencies. For example I install package "Foo" the requires library "Bar." Library "Bar" is not installed so it gets installed when I install "Foo." Later I realize the package "Foo" wasn't exactly what I needed and wish to remove it. But uninstalling just removes the package "Foo" and leaves the library "Bar" sitting around unused and taking up space. So if I want to remove the library "Bar" i must do so manually. It would be great if I wish to uninstall "Foo" that the package manager would have the ability to check any dependencies that were needed and installed for package "Foo" and see if they are still needed by another package or lib and if so, keep it, and if not remove it. Also, it would be awesome if one could remove an entire package group such as uninstalling gnome or KDE. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306627
