by fate_noreply＠suse.de 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

Feature added by: Christoph Zwerschke (czwersch) Feature #308386, revision 1 Title: Update PyGreSQL package from 3.8.1 to 4.0 openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Christoph Zwerschke (czwersch) Description: The PyGreSQL (http://www.pygresql.org) version shipped with openSUSE 11.2 is 3.8.1 which has been superseded by PyGreSQL 4.0 already 11 months ago. The new version has several important improvements (http://www.pygresql.org/changelog.html) , so it would be highly desirable to update the package in openSUSE. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308386

[New: openFATE 308489] Source Code Distribution
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

Feature added by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Feature #308489, revision 1 Title: Source Code Distribution Buildservice: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Make it easy to download source packages of milestone and final releases, e.g. with a specific web page with input of package name and release version. Btw. we should also document in the wiki properly how we distribute source code for milestone and final releases - and how for build service packages. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Source code availability is a requirement of the various Open Source licenses, this feature will help us to do this properly and in a documented way. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308489

[New: openFATE 308539] Import/Export of YaST installation settings
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 29 Jan '14

29 Jan '14

Feature added by: Klaus Kämpf (kwk) Feature #308539, revision 1 Title: Import/Export of YaST installation settings openSUSE-11.3: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Klaus Kämpf (kwk) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Configuring the installation settings in YaST (timezone, partitioning, packages) takes some time. When you then hit a bug in the installer (i.e. partitioning failure) forcing you to restart, things get annoying. This request is asking for an import/export option in YaSTs 'installation settings' overview. (Actually, the 'import' is needed much earlier ...) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Usability. Disaster recovery. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308539

[New: openFATE 309930] Link GDM and KDM to their respective manual chapters
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 24 Jan '14

24 Jan '14

Feature added by: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) Feature #309930, revision 1 Title: Link GDM and KDM to their respective manual chapters Requested by: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Chapters from the opensuse userguide often directly map to specific software or procedures on the desktop. A user who wants help for GDM should have a simple way how to access chapter 1.1 "Logging In" of the gnome user guide. Same for KDE. A universal implementation would not be specific to GDM/KDM. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: GDM sometimes shows menues at the bottom, sometimes not. A user needs these menus to e.g. switch between KDE and GNOME. The logic, when these menues appear is well documented in GNOME user guide. Having the relevant chapter handy, helps logging in and generally improves usability of the system. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309930

[New: openFATE 310780] Provide python 3 bindings when supported
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

Feature added by: Todd R (TheBlackCat) Feature #310780, revision 1 Title: Provide python 3 bindings when supported openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Todd R (theblackcat) Description: The new version of python, python 3, has been out for several years now. A lot of python bindings now support python 3. However, although openSUSE has provided python 3 for a while, it provides few, if any, python 3 versions of packages. My suggestion is that python 2 be kept the default, but for python packages and bindings that support it, python 3 versions should be made available as well. I think the python in the name would be replaced by python3, so in additiona to python-numpy there would be python3-numpy, for example. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310780

Feature added by: Martin Sandsmark (martinsandsmark) Feature #310003, revision 1 Title: ArchLinux support Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Martin Sandsmark (martinsandsmark) Description: Support for making ArchLinux packages from PKGBUILDs would be nice. Is there any documentation for how to extend OBS to other build systems anywhere? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310003

[New: openFATE 310623] Please bring SCPM back to Suse
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Dec '13

15 Dec '13

Feature added by: Hawke Robinson (kmleon) Feature #310623, revision 1 Title: Please bring SCPM back to Suse openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Hawke Robinson (kmleon) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: SCPM is one of the major components (among others) for why I prefer to use Suse over other distros. I use SCPM for changing many configuration values for hardware and software cleanly, through one tool, instead of dozens, between when plugged into very different docking stations between work and home, when at home undocked, when roaming at coffee shops, when locked down for work or client sites, when broadcasting live shows at various locations, or when setting up different hardware profiles with different components connected and keeping the configuration consistent for that profile, printers, firewall rules, etc. Networkmanager only handles the networking aspect (and poorly at that, especially for devices that require using if-up mode, and not network manager (driver bugs)). Other tools only handle the configuration values for their own domains of responsibilty, and do not keep a single profile with all the many variables, easily in one place, and easily switched either on the fly or at boot time. This tool has been a huge boon to being far more productive over other distros. Please consider adding this back to 11.3, and keeping it for future releases. I am even willing to become a maintainer for this package if no one more qualified steps up to do so. I will try the information for the 11.2 repo kludge, but please advise on how the suse decision makers can be encouraged to bring scpm back. Thanks! Use Case: Mobile user (laptop, portable device, or full PC that is moved to different locations) with one kind of docking station or port replicator at home, and a completely different docking-station or port replicator at work, beign able to easily switch all the hardware, network, firewall, monitor(s), printers, and other software and hardware values at boot time between home and work. Mobile user that has very different security settings and hardware settings between home setup, work setup, and different clients when on-site. variables include network, firewall, antivirus, fileshares, sound cards, external video cards, monitor(s), printers, virtual machine configurations, DNS, hosts files, email server settings, sshd settings, ftpd settings, the list of variables served through one profile tool is extremely extensive. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: The wonderful flexibility of so many variables being able to be easily tracked on the fly from one utility is extremely valuable for mobile use. Networkmanager only handles the networking aspect (and poorly at that, especially for devices that require using if-up mode, and not network manager (driver bugs)). Other tools only handle the configuration values for their own domains of responsibilty, and do not keep a single profile with all the many variables, easily in one place, and easily switched either on the fly or at boot time. This tool has been a huge boon to being far more productive over other distros. Without SCPM support, Suse becomes that much more "just another same/similiar Linux distro", and looses another distinctive benefit over other distros for me, and for all my clients. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310623

[New: openFATE 310151] YAST Software Manager-Search also in openSUSE Build Service
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 Dec '13

05 Dec '13

Feature added by: m s (miki100) Feature #310151, revision 1 Title: YAST Software Manager-Search also in openSUSE Build Service openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: m s (miki100) Description: It would be really helpful if Software Manager could find packages that aren't in any repo added. For example: a new user wants to install VLC Media Player. He search for it, but he doesn't have any repos added. Instead of an empty list Software Manager could search for it in openSUSE Build Service. After selecting an app to install and clicking "Apply" a question could appear with choice to keep or not that repository after install. It would be much easier for new users. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310151
