Feature added by: Dinar Valeev (k0da) Feature #309704, revision 1 Title: add libzypp capability to extend LVM on demand Requested by: Dinar Valeev (k0da) Description: LVM is designed to mange your disks in flexible way. This means, allocate and use only needed space. And keep unallocated space for further tasks. It would be great if libzypp can extend logical volume on demand (space required for package installation is already known) Scenario: 1)there are logical volumes within VolumeGroup (/var, /usr,/tmp) 2)VolumeGroup have free PhysicalEextents 3)logical volume have no free space for package install 4)Install package/packages which requires 12Mb in /tmp, 40Mb in /usr and 16Mb in /var 4)libzypp will extend logical volumes and file systems /tmp by 3 Logical extend, /var by 10 le and var by 4le -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309704

[New: openFATE 310622] Run xserver without root privileges
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Mar '12

Feature added by: Jose Ricardo De Leon Solis (derhundchen) Feature #310622, revision 1 Title: Run xserver without root privileges openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jose Ricardo De Leon Solis (derhundchen) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Now that we have KMS enabled in the distribution we are a step closer of being able to run the xserver with just user privileges, and thus making openSUSE more secure. About a year ago I read a blog post of a moblin developer stating that achieving this is not that hard, but I've yet to see another distro achieving it. Nevertheless I think we can start to think about it. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It all boils down to increase the security of openSUSE, as stated above. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310622

Feature added by: Peter Bowen (pzb) Feature #310517, revision 1 Title: DKIM and DomainKeys support openSUSE-11.4: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Peter Bowen (pzb) Description: Most of the large email service providers (gmail, yahoo, hotmail/live, aol, ...) are using DKIM checking as part of their anti-spam filtering systems. We should make it very easy for users to configure their mail server to sign mail as it goes out. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310517

[New: openFATE 308480] Add Chromium browser to the distro
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Feature added by: Frank Vanderham (twelveeighty) Feature #308480, revision 1 Title: Add Chromium browser to the distro openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Frank Vanderham (twelveeighty) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The Google Chromium browser is taking over most Windows users desktops. Why? Because it is a very, very good browser that most Linux users want: minimalistic, fast and open-source. What more do we want? Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Chromium is a fast, minimalistic and open-source browser that is on a LOT of Windows desktops. Not only is it a great browser to use, but if a Windows user is used to it and can't have it on openSUSE, they won't switch. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308480

Feature added by: Erik Luijten (luijten) Feature #307748, revision 1 Title: autokey Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Erik Luijten (luijten) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I very much would like the autokey package (currently only on Ubuntu) to be included in openSuSE. URL: http://autokey.sourceforge.net/ Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: There seems to be no other general keyboard macro/textexpansion utility available for Linux, even though this is an important productivity tool. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307748

[New: openFATE 309470] Add ConvertAll to repository
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Feature added by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (RGBsuse) Feature #309470, revision 1 Title: Add ConvertAll to repository Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (rgbsuse) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: ConvertAll (http://convertall.bellz.org/index.html) is not just another unit conversion tool, ConvertAll is THE unit conversion tool because it is not limited to a list of units: you can build any combination you need. >From the site: With ConvertAll, you can combine the units any way you want. If you want to convert from inches per decade, that's fine. Or from meter-pounds. Or from cubic nautical miles. The units don't have to make sense to anyone else. Use Case: Students, teachers, researchers, engineers... anyone who need to perform bizarre unit conversion on a daily basis will find this app really useful. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: ConvertAll is a really useful tiny app. Written in py-qt and ready for translation through .po files it is really easy to use and very flexible. Even if it is really easy to install, I'm not sure how many people know this app: having it on repos will help not only to promote it, but also will help many people who need it but do not know its existence. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309470

[New: openFATE 308435] pdftk
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Feature added by: Tristan Miller (psych0naut) Feature #308435, revision 1 Title: pdftk Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Tristan Miller (psych0naut) Description: pdftk is a tool for splitting, merging, encrypting, decrypting, uncompressing, recompressing, watermarking, and repairing PDFs. It was included in openSUSE 11.1 but seems to have been dropped, with no explanation, from openSUSE 11.2. There seem to be some developers on the Build Service who have made packages, but it would be better to have it as an official package. Home page: http://www.pdfhacks.com/pdftk/ Build service query: https://build.opensuse.org/main/search_result?search_text=pdftk&x=0&y=0 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308435

[New: openFATE 310664] package shorewall in an opensuse repository
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Feature added by: Divan Santana (divansantana7) Feature #310664, revision 1 Title: package shorewall in an opensuse repository openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Divan Santana (divansantana7) Description: openSUSE is a great open source community linux distribution. One thing I miss which other distros have, is that the shorewall firewall packages are not available in any repositories. It would be great if shorewall was packaged and available in a repository. Yes one can install this from http://shorewall.net but it is not really the ideal way of doing things. Shorewall is a powerful easy to use high level firewall program which many use as their primary firewall program. Please could this be packaged and available in an openSUSE repo for 11.4 . -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310664

[New: openFATE 308841] zypper integration
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Feature added by: Michael Meeks (michael_meeks) Feature #308841, revision 1 Title: zypper integration Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Michael Meeks (michael_meeks) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I often want new softare; everything (+ spouse) is in the build service - and searchable via 'osc se'. I want to be able to do 'zypper se-osc uxlaunch' and then install it easily from the build service through that tool (without authentication) - preferably with (whatever) service subscription is necessary hidden from me. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This would make openSUSE rather more compelling as a distro, and give people access to a wider range of new, and un-blessed software. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308841

[New: openFATE 309485] filter package by version on software.opensuse.org
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

Feature added by: matthias sweertvaegher (mxttie) Feature #309485, revision 1 Title: filter package by version on software.opensuse.org Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: matthias sweertvaegher (mxttie) Description: software.opensuse.org/search is a very handy tool to find a 1-click install for your favorite program yet often it is hard to find the latest or the correct package since no additional filtering/sorting is offered. Here are a few possible solutions: A) The low tech solution would be to support specifying the version in the query processed as a simple string, for example: if I search for k3b it returns 102 binaries, k3b-1.68.0-1.1.3.i586.rpm (http://software.opensuse.org/search/download?base=openSUSE%3A11.2&file=open…) being one amongst them. If I search for k3b-1.68, no results are returned.. B) Another solution would be to collect all versions during the query and while presenting the result as of now, allow the user to finetune the query by presenting a combobox containing all collected versions. C) allow sorting the results on build date. that way, I suppose the more recent versions would be listed..? Not sure if that's possible. D) allow filtering on architecture. sometimes, when you finally found the correct version, it seems it is not available in x86_64 ...
