[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

[New: openFATE 308876] Include GNU nano in default install, livecd and install medias
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 14 Mar '10

Feature added by: Ivo Anjo (knuckles) Feature #308876, revision 1 Title: Include GNU nano in default install, livecd and install medias openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ivo Anjo (knuckles) Description: GNU nano is a very small and user-friendly text editor. There are lots of tips and resources and how-tos on the internet for linux that use nano when simple command-line text editing is needed. The lack of nano on opensuse means that most users can get stuck if they need to use a rescue system or live system to edit some files, and most suggestions point to using vi, which although very powerful and a better editor, is not user-friendly at all. (Ever tried to rescue a system over the phone, and had to step someone through editing a file using vi?) The nano rpm for opensuse 11.2 comes in at 350K, so even installed nano has a very small footprint. Ubuntu, Gentoo and many other distros include nano in their rescue, live, and default installs, and even as their default editor when using the shell. I know a possible alternative is joe, but joe is very unknown, and most people never know what it is or that it is there. (Small popularity experiment using google trends here (http://www.google.com/trends?q=nano+linux+-ipod%2C+joe+linux&ctab=0&geo=all…) .) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308876

[openFATE 308204] Shibboleth web identity service
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 10 Mar '10

10 Mar '10

Feature added by: Markus Kuhn (m_kuhn) Feature #308204, revision 1 Title: Shibboleth web identity service Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Markus Kuhn (m_kuhn) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Shibboleth (http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/) is currently (2009) being rolled out as the standard federated single-signon web user-authentication system in academic institutions in the UK, US, and many other countries. With it, web servers (especially at universities) can easily leave user authentication and authorization to the existing/emerging Shibboleth infrastructure. Of interest to: website operators, especially at universities Licence: Apache 2.0 It may be a good idea to split the Shibboleth Service Provider and the Shibboleth Identity Provider functions into two seperate RPMs, as the former will be used by a large number of sites, whereas the latter only by a small number (typically one per University). Test Case: https://sp.testshib.org/ Use Case: http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/uses.html Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Shibboleth is security-critical, runs a server, is integrated with Apache, and depends on having very recent versions of a number of XML, SAML, and crypto libraries installed. Therefore it is not entirely trivial to install and maintain for every casual website administer and thus it would be extremely useful if you could add it as a standard package to the openSUSE and SLES distributions. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308204

[openFATE 306379] Use rsync when refreshing repositories
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 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

Feature added by: rosero mancera (leroman) Feature #308123, revision 1 Title: Camaras web openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: rosero mancera (leroman) Description: Buen dia, me gustaria que open suse 11.2 , mejorara en el reconocimiento de camaras web, un ejemplo es que mi camara genius look 316 la probe en fedora y fue reconocida sin ningun problema, mientras espero la salida definitiva de suse 11.2 he probado tambienTrisquel 3.0 y el reconocimiento de la camara es mas que excelente, me pregunto porque no puedo utilizar la misma camara en OpenSuse mi distribución preferida?, no soy informatico ni se mucho del tema, pero quisiera que cuando instalo a Suse, me funcionara todo... estarian ustedes deacuerdo conmigo? la verdad quisiera ser de mas ayuda pero tengo pocos conocimientos de como realizar cambios sustanciales del mejor sistema que a mi parecer es open suse, si pudieran arreglar este reconocimiento de Harware en realidad seria mas que estupendo. Mil y Mil gracias por su atención y nuevamente felicitaciones Comunidad Open Suse. Leonardo Rosero. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308123
