Feature added by: Josef Reidinger (jreidinger) Feature #308389, revision 1 Title: Zypper - ingore All openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Josef Reidinger (jreidinger) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I think it would nice to have use same answer for similar questions. Like if repository is not accessible or recently synced, then ignore all problems instead of individual answers. Use Case: For example if factory is synced and package is no longer available, then use ignore all and after run refresh and repair via verify problems. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: If update contain many packages and user testing factory, then manual ignoring problems takes too much time and decrease time to testing. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308389

[New: openFATE 308378] Add simple selection of partitions in installation process

Feature added by: Mindaugas Baranauskas (embar-) Feature #308378, revision 1 Title: Add simple selection of partitions in installation process openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Mindaugas Baranauskas (embar-) Description: Need option for simple partitions asigning to mount points in installation. In openSUSE installation from DVD, the selection of partitions of system – isn't friendly to new user. We could add option to simple (and more grafical) management of partitions. Now in comparing this installation step in openSUSE, Fedora, Mandriva and Ubuntu: our openSUSE is most uncomfortable (a lot of mouse clicks)! Ubuntu 9.10 and Fedora 12 provides simpler management; And Mandriva 2010.0 surprized – is the clearest for beginig user. The Mandriva way: Press "Use existting partition" and "Next" See collumn of partitions and near the collumn of mount points, that can be changed by click :) That's all! The partition with mount point "/" – will be automaticaly formated. I expect, that for most users – this is the most desireble way. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308378

Feature added by: James Mason (bear454) Feature #309539, revision 1 Title: compiz grid plugin for kwin openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: James Mason (bear454) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Compiz 'grid' plugin provides tiled window manager-like behavior in addition to traditional moveable windows. Kwin would benefit from having an equivalent feauture, for those of us with OCD. See: http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Grid http://suasol.wordpress.com/2008/06/28/new-tiling-plugin-for-compiz-fusion-… Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: (1) It's incredibly useful for quickly laying out non-overlapping windows, without moving over to a (limited) tiled WM. (2) feature parity with compiz. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309539

[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

Feature added by: Markus K (KAMiKAZOW) Feature #309183, revision 1 Title: Localized package descriptions Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Markus K (kamikazow) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently software descriptions are only available in English, even though YaST/zypper itself is translated. Solution: Build Service should extract the translated names and descriptions from included .desktop files. YaST/zypper should display the correct description based on system language setting. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Improve the accessibility for users who don't understand English. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309183
