[New: openFATE 310085] Zypper: Filter

30 Aug '11

Feature added by: Michael Moser (Mose) Feature #310085, revision 1 Title: Zypper: Filter Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Michael Moser (mose) Description: I would be nice if there was a way to install only security patches that are 'Needed'. I have a multitude of SuSE based servers under management where I work, and we need to keep boxes up to date with security releases. Since we dont manage the applications the customer uses, we have no way of knowing if recommended patches for any given package will have adverse affects on their software. Currently we zypper pchk | grep ' Needed' then copy the output of that output to zypper patch Something to the order of: * zypper patch -s (security only) * zypper patch -r (recommended only) * zypper patch (Defaults to all patches) I've seen alot of threads on google on this subject, I think it would be a worthwhile implementation. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310085

[New: openFATE 308459] Include Sage open-source mathematics software
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

Feature added by: Todd R (TheBlackCat) Feature #308459, revision 1 Title: Include Sage open-source mathematics software openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Todd R (theblackcat) Description: Sage is a python-based GPL advanced mathematics software similar to the closed-source mathematica and the open-source maxima. It seems pretty powerful, supporting many advanced mathematics operations, plotting, and other higher-level mathematics tasks. It provides a nice web interface. Further, the new Cantor advanced mathematics software that will be included with KDE 4.4 can act as a front-end for sage (as well as maxima and R for now). However, there is no Sage package for openSUSE. Considering an official KDE program now uses it I think it is a good idea to provide a package. Since Cantor is now in the main KDE education software group I think Sage should probably be in the main release for openSUSE 11.3. In the meantime there should probably be a package in KDE4 Unstable now and one in KDE 4 factory when it switches to KDE 4.4 beta 1, and probably another in the science and/or education buildservice repository. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308459

[New: openFATE 309259] Include VLC
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

Feature added by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (RGBsuse) Feature #309259, revision 1 Title: Include VLC Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (rgbsuse) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Considering the fact that VLC phonon back-end is finally taking shape (http://amarok.kde.org/blog/archives/1171-Rapid-Progress-in-KDE-Multimedia.h…) , I think is important to consider the inclusion of VLC client on openSUSE, even if "diminished" in the same way in which xine is actually shipped. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: VLC is one of the best multimedia players for Linux and there will be a back-end for phonon that use it. The addition of VLC will give the user more choice and a better multimedia experience. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309259

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

[New: openFATE 310201] Include a pastebin script in the distribution
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

Feature added by: Pascal Bleser (pbleser) Feature #310201, revision 1 Title: Include a pastebin script in the distribution openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Pascal Bleser (pbleser) Description: It would help tremendously if we would include a pastebin script (e.g. pastebinit, which is in network:utilities and Contrib) in the stock distribution. Given that it is really small, we ought to include it in the core patterns (i.e. always install it). Point being that we very, very often ask people who come with questions on our IRC support channel (#opensuse on freenode) to pastebin output of commands or files, and having something like pastebinit would make that even easier. But that's pointless (making it easier) if we have to guide them through adding a repository and installing pastebinit first. Hence including it into the distribution. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310201

Feature added by: Edmund Highcock (edmundhighcock) Feature #310404, revision 1 Title: Workrave Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Edmund Highcock (edmundhighcock) Description: Hi, Workrave is a great program that helps prevent eyestrain and repetitive strain injury. It would be great if we could have it on openSUSE. http://sourceforge.net/projects/workrave/ I have tried installing it from source, but it keeps complaining about a missing dependency (libpanelapplet) which I have already installed. It would make a lot of people happy I'm sure if this is available as an openSUSE package. Cheers, Edmund -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310404
