[New: openFATE 309587] Easier SUSE bugreporting

Feature added by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) Feature #309587, revision 1 Title: Easier SUSE bugreporting Requested by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Last hackweek I hacked up the susereport [1] a port of Debian's reportbug script. Susereport deals with a BuildService - can find the assignee from package/project metadata. It basically works, but needs to be tested more than is. So my hackweek project will be test it and release it! And also find some nice to have features (like automatic information gathering in some cases, or so). [1] http://gitorious.org/+opensuse-developers/opensuse/susereport [2] http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Novell bugzilla is not nice - you have a zilions projects/products and you just have to fill a bug against openSUSE. Existence of BuildService complicates it, you need to know from which project you have a buggy package and who maintain that crap ... susereport solve all of those questions to one - Why there are so much questions, isn't there any easier way? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309587

[New: openFATE 308353] get rid of mandb cron job

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #308353, revision 1 Title: get rid of mandb cron job openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Description: /etc/cron.daily/suse-do_mandb runs every day to create the man page indexes and the whois databae even if no package was installed. This exercises the hard disk quite a bit. A smarter solution would be to update the index and whois db each time a manpage gets added or removed, just like it's done with info pages. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308353

[New: openFATE 310263] By default use a functioning version of Java
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 14 Dec '11

Feature added by: Andrew Joakimsen (joak0) Feature #310263, revision 1 Title: By default use a functioning version of Java openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Andrew Joakimsen (joak0) Description: The "OpenJDK" version of Java is installed by default in openSUSE. This version of Java does not enjoy widespread compatibility. I have yet to find a site that properly works with this Java implemenaton and have promptly replaced it with a working Jave implemenation -- Sun. The installation of the working Java plugin should be via the same mechanism that is employed to install Flash plugin upon the first update to the system (pullin-flash-player package). Until the point in time it can be demonstrated that the OpenJDK implementation can work with >= 95% of Java applets encountered in "the real world" it should not be included by default in OpenSUSE. I think it is a way better out-of-box experiance for users to have to install Java (just like in Windows) vs. appear to have Java but "Java is broken in openSUSE" I doubt many non-technical users can understand the difference. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310263

[New: openFATE 309562] Incorporate osc vc into the build service web ui
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 Dec '11

Feature added by: Dave Plater (plater) Feature #309562, revision 1 Title: Incorporate osc vc into the build service web ui Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Dave Plater (plater) Description: If small corrections to are made to packages, adding a build requirement for instance, using the web ui it is a waste to have to check out an entire package just to use osc vc to ensure change log consistency. The other way is to edit the changes file on line in which case mistakes may be made and it extends the time taken for an otherwise quick job. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309562

Feature added by: Hendrik Vogelsang (hennevogel) Feature #306625, revision 1 Title: automatic email alias, irc cloak, lizards data generation on users.o.o Hackweek IV: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Hendrik Vogelsang (hennevogel) Description: To be able to maintain the list of @opensuse.org email aliases, freenode irc cloaks and lizards.o.o logins for members the openSUSE board is looking for a ruby hacker willing to implement automatic generation of aliases/cloaks in users.opensuse.org. users.o.o is a ruby on rails application.

At the moment this data is exported and imported manualy to the different systems. What we would need is a way to make this automatic and have the data changeable by the user. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306625

[New: openFATE 308360] use lockdev
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #308360, revision 1 Title: use lockdev openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Description: Ever since resmgr was dropped there is no way for unprivileged users to lock a device file such as /dev/ttyS0 even if the user has access to the device. A similar problem exists for usb devices in /dev/bus/usb. RedHat uses lockdev to solve the problem. It's a setgid 'lock' binary that manages the lock files. /var/lock is writeable by group 'lock' only. To be really useful the lockdev code needs to be cleaned up so a library is used to call the 'lockdev' helper binary. That way rpm would automatically catch the dependency. Any program accessing serial ports or usb devices as user could make use of lockdev, e.g. libgphoto2 minicom ppp sane-backends screen uucp ...
