Feature added by: Uwe Gansert (ug) Feature #307424, revision 1 Title: invent an "ask"-rule for AutoYaST openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Uwe Gansert (ug) Description: two customers had an idea for a new feature for the rule-mechanism for AutoYaST. It would be nice if AutoYaST could ask for the files to merge. So that it looks which XML snippets are available and presents them in some kind of dialog to choose from. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307424

[openFATE 306192] Make BuildService accessible for anonymous users
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Feature added by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) Feature #306192, revision 1, last change by Title: Make BuildService accessible for anonymous users Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) Description: We hides many useful information about our distribution behind a Novell login, which makes a participation harder. Other distributions are much more opened even for anonymous users, so you can browse source codes, patches, changelogs, build logs, ... even if you are an anonymous users. We should be opened as much as possible if we want to be a community based distribution. Some examples: * Fedora CVS (http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc//) expose all Fedora packages with full history and for anonymous users * kojibuild info (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=81815) - you have a full access to building informations from koji system and some of them are not available for OBS users at all. * Debian changelog browsing (http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/c/cdbs/cdbs_0.4.52/changelog) Debian offers a changelog browsing (they don't use a centralized VCS) without registration. * lintian reports (http://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/build-common-hackers@lists.alioth.debi…) you can see a lintian issues for every package. * Debian build log (http://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?pkg=libmatthew-java) Debian also offers an access to a build log of package. * Gentoo package information (http://packages.gentoo.org/package/app-office/nostaples?ts=2009-03-11T05:57…) Gentoo offers many information about package Those examples are only for illustrate of other approaches. I don't try to tell we must implement CVS because Fedora has it. And some issues like an alternative of Gentoo package view should be implemented in upcoming Software Portal. We should publish (at least for openSUSE:* projects) sources of packages and a build logs. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306192

[openFATE 306852] YaST2 screen title needs a machine-name in it
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Mar '10

15 Mar '10

Feature added by: Greg Riedesel (Gracal) Feature #306852, revision 1 Title: YaST2 screen title needs a machine-name in it openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Greg Riedesel (gracal) Description: The nomenclature, "[YaST control panel] @ [machine name]' is very useful for figuring out which window belongs to which server. Especially if the managing workstation is also openSUSE. Formerly Bug 385625 Use Case: When managing openSUSE servers over X-forwarding via SSH, it is possible to have multiple YaST screens up at the same time, each belonging to a different remote server. Having a way to differentiate between YaST instances in the title-bar will reduce confusion, and help avoid config mistakes. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306852

[openFATE 306379] Use rsync when refreshing repositories
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

Feature added by: Piotrek Juzwiak (BenderBendingRodriguez) Feature #306379, revision 1, last change by Title: Use rsync when refreshing repositories openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Piotrek Juzwiak (benderbendingrodriguez) Description: It would be a great idea to use rsync when refreshing repositories, one of the bad things is the refresh speed. It gets worse when people have many repositories. I'm not sure but it already compares if something has changed in the repo but to speed things up it would be great to use rsync. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306379

by fate_noreply＠suse.de 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

Feature added by: Kshitij Kulshreshtha (polyconvex) Feature #307139, revision 1 Title: Enable KMS for Intel Graphics cards openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Kshitij Kulshreshtha (polyconvex) Description: Since in the Intel Graphics Release 2009Q2 kernel modesetting is the recommended method, please enable CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS in the kernel config. In the current factory kernel (August 03) CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS is set even though the code is considered unstable and depends on CONFIG_STAGING, however the more stable and recommended CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS is not set. Please enable this option too. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307139

[openFATE 307492] "Report a Bug" icon for pre-release versions
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

Feature added by: Kevin Dupuy (kdupuy9) Feature #307492, revision 1 Title: "Report a Bug" icon for pre-release versions openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Kevin Dupuy (kdupuy9) Description: Inspired in part by Windows 7's links to "report a problem", I think that to make it easier and quicker to access Bugzilla, we should include a desktop icon and panel launcher to open the Bugzilla "Enter new bug" page (https://bugzilla.novell.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=openSUSE%2011.2&format=gu…) (with the product already filled in, as above), with all pre-release (NOT FINAL) versions of 11.3 and beyond (or 11.2 if we have time) I've already created a .desktop file to do this, and use it on my own when testing 11.2/Factory. The file can be found here (http://kevinsword.com/images/Report%20a%20Bug.desktop) (choose Save Link As to download, or click to view the actual text in it). Please also see my blog post about this: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/08/23/1-click-bug-reporting/ Use Case: Joe Tester runs the latest pre-release version of openSUSE to help squash some bugs. He finds a bug that makes an application crash. He simply double-clicks on the Report a Bug icon or clicks on the panel launcher, and Firefox opens to Bugzilla, with the product already filled in. He can then search for the bug and file it if it doesn't already exist. Joe Tester now feels good about himself. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307492

[openFATE 307464] YAST to manage multiple machines
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

Feature added by: David Kroher (dkroher) Feature #307464, revision 1 Title: YAST to manage multiple machines openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: David Kroher (dkroher) Description: Instead of doing a remote X session to each machine, it would be nice if one could "connect to another computer" and manage that machine directly from the current yast interface. Just being able to quickly manage multiple machines within one yast interface would be nice without the X overhead on the network. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307464

[openFATE 306921] s390(x) dump analysis on x86/x86_64 using crosscrash
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 02 Mar '10

Feature added by: Petr Tesařík (ptesarik) Feature #306921, revision 1 Title: s390(x) dump analysis on x86/x86_64 using crosscrash Hackweek IV: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Petr Tesařík (ptesarik) Description: crosscrash is an unfinished tool, though interesting. One of the major drawbacks is its inability to open dumps from big-endian architectures on little-endian hosts, most importantly s390x dumps on x86_64. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306921
