[New: openFATE 308901] move openssl libraries to /lib

Feature added by: peter czanik (czanik) Feature #308901, revision 1 Title: move openssl libraries to /lib openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: peter czanik (czanik) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Move openssl libraries from /usr/lib to /lib. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Recent versions of syslog-ng can't be compiled to run from /sbin due to having openssl libraries in /usr/lib instead of /lib. As syslog needs to be available even with /usr available, having it in /usr/sbin is not an option... Also, openssl libraries are used by wpa_supplicant, which can't be used now, if /usr is unavailable. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308901

[New: openFATE 309022] Drop ext3 driver and use ext4 kernel and userspace tools only
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 31 Aug '11

Feature added by: Greg Freemyer (gregfreemyer) Feature #309022, revision 1 Title: Drop ext3 driver and use ext4 kernel and userspace tools only openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Greg Freemyer (gregfreemyer) Description: Per Ted Ts'o (the ext4 maintainer: "Ext4 is format compatible with ext3, and with the proper kernel configuration options, starting with 2.6.33, it's possible to seemlessly allow people who use "mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /u1" to have /dev/sda1 mounted using the ext4 file system driver. So we even have a way that we can seemlessly upgrade existing userspace setups to using ext4 without having to make any system configuration changes (except installing a new kernel, of course)." Thus it may make sense to drop the ext3 driver from OS 11.3 I'm not sure how useful it is to do, but ext4 is where the new development is taking place for both the kernel and userspace tools, so it seems it might be useful to switch everyone to ext4 userspace tools. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309022

Feature added by: Sirko Kemter (gnokii) Feature #309156, revision 1 Title: package ICC-profiles openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sirko Kemter (gnokii) Description: Make the ICC profiles from ECI.org available. ICC profiles are needed for printing. At moment are only the Adobe ICC profiles available. But they are nonfree. There is a organization for open standards in europe called ECI and the most printing services work with there profiles. At the moment I have to download the profiles from ther webpages, unpack and copy them to the right place in the system. On ubuntu is this easier, I install the profiles with the package icc-profiles -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309156

It could work by users going into Control Center and clicking on "Computer Tracking" and then they type in their email address and choose when they want the ip address of the internet connection sent to them, like this: Find your lost or stolen computer: Your Email Address: example(a)example.com (mailto:example@example.com) Send Location : Never Once per Hour Once per Day If the computer has a GPS or wifi connected then those co-ordinates could be sent too. It should support IPv4 and IPv6 ip addresses. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309368
