[openFATE 307884] Yafaray instead of Yafray for Blender
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 07 Jun '16

Feature added by: Rene Bernhard (rebe) Feature #307884, revision 1 Title: Yafaray instead of Yafray for Blender Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Rene Bernhard (rebe) Description: Hello. As the Yafray render engine for Blender is not longer developed I apreciate if you would replace it with the Yafaray render engine in one of the next openSUSE versions. Or maybe it is possible to make a package for the repositories to download. Thank you very much for your efforts. Best regards rebe -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307884

[New: openFATE 308839] performance: prompt early on failure ...
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 Apr '16

Feature added by: Michael Meeks (michael_meeks) Feature #308839, revision 1 Title: performance: prompt early on failure ... Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Michael Meeks (michael_meeks) Description: For local builds, osc has an unfortunate habit of doing a large amount of work, before failing very late. For slow building or leaf packages this can be excessively painful - wasting an "overnight" build slot eg. Many of the checks that we currently do in the middle, should be moved to the beginning (or perhaps just duplicated there). Some examples I have fallen over: * prompt-user-to-re-build-jail - this currently happens after any new packages are downloaded - a process that can take as long as the building. We can know that a jail was dirty before we start & warn then; if we even need dirty jails [cf. fate#308837# ] * simple RPM syntax problems - could be linted ahead of time, currently done after jail construction. + we should catch in particular: missing / mis-named files + mis-applied / not-applied patches + anything else obvious that we can catch Doing this early - while the human is watching is likely to hide long pipeline stalls, and context switching overhead for packagers. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308839

It should be considered to integrate it to the openSUSE Buildservice infrastructure to ease collaboration. It might be an option that submit requests to packages can be handled in the review board. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305838

[openFATE 305914] PAC support for 'system wide proxy configuration'
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 Dec '15

05 Dec '15

Feature added by: Dominique Leuenberger (dimstar) Feature #305914, revision 1, last change by Title: PAC support for 'system wide proxy configuration' openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Dominique Leuenberger (dimstar) Description: The distribution now contains libproxy and we should try to make as much use of it as possible. A big advantage is the ability to parse PAC (Proxy AutoConfiguration) without the need for this in every application. Simply linking against libproxy with it's very simple API (3 API calls, 2 without parameters) is enugh to have the advantage of no longer needing to 'guess' what proxy to use. What is now: - You can set in yast / proxy a general proxy to be used (http://foo.proxy.com:1234) This is bascially put into http_proxy envvar. In gnome you can set user proxy configuration as: - Use System Proxy (as configured in yast) - Use proxy configuration (static, same options as in yast) - Use automatic proxy configuration script Yast lacks the option to specify a PAC script on system wide level. This is only possible in the user sessions configuration. This made sense as most applications don't know how to handle pac files anyway. But with libroxy, this hurdle can be taken away from every single application and can thus be offered. I'm glad to elaborate on questions; I'm sure there are some :-) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305914

[New: openFATE 310712] Constantly usable Factory
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Nov '15

Feature added by: Christoph Obexer (cobexer) Feature #310712, revision 1 Title: Constantly usable Factory openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Christoph Obexer (cobexer) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I recently read about the Debain CUT project, ( http://cut.debian.net/ (http://cut.debian.net/) , http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/debian/cut/ (http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/debian/cut/) ) looking at the current situation with openSuSE Factory i see that it is dangerous to use, unstable alpha or beta packages come into Factory all the time, while other packages become out of date. The result is a system that is pretty much unusable. Only allowing stable packages to enter Factory would make that a lot better, and if one finds bugs chances are that those bugs aren't already fixed in a newer svn/git snapshot, but are real bugs. This would save a lot of time for testers and developers in dealing with "invalid", or "temporary" bugs. I think that a robust, "stable" Factory would lead to more people using it full time and thus a better quality of the next openSuSE version. I see that this would have negative aspects as well, but i think most devel projects have unstable/testing repositories set up already and those could still contain the snapshots of upcoming versions, testers of those specific projects could use tose repositories then. Doing a release of openSuSE would be easier then too, simply snapshot Factory, and declare it as openSuSE $VERSION. The transition from the current state to a "constantly usable Factory" would be smooth too. And it's also in line with the openSuSE vision, stable rather than bleeding edge. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: More users using Factory -> better stability of Factory -> better stability of openSuSE $VERSION -> openSuSE back where it should be - the Linux for professionals. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310712

[New: openFATE 309700] Advanced uninstall/Rollback support in package management, zypper
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Feature added by: Nikanth K (nikanth) Feature #309700, revision 1 Title: Advanced uninstall/Rollback support in package management, zypper openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Nikanth K (nikanth) Description: # Zypper install evolution This will install say 13 packages, evolution and its dependencies including evolution-data-server etc.... #zypper remove evolution This will remove only evolution. Leaving the dependencies installed. The 12 packages are left installed. Instead provide an easy way to rollback/uninstall all those packages using say a transaction-id from the history. So that, say we have foo.rpm which needs bar.rpm #zypper install foo #zypper remove foo will not leave bar installed in the system. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309700
