Feature added by: Ilya Chernykh (Ansus) Feature #308424, revision 1 Title: Please port Light style revision 2 theme to KDE4 openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ilya Chernykh (ansus) Description: Please port Light style revision 2 theme from KDE3 to KDE4. This is the best-looking widget theme ever in my opinion. This makes transition to KDE4 much easier and allows for better coexistence of KDE3 and KDE4 applications. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308424

[openFate 305664] Server CD
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: Martin Schlander (cb400f) Feature #305664, revision 1, last change by Title: Server CD openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Martin Schlander (cb400f) Description: Providing an official openSUSE server cd - with some often used server software - and perhaps a lightweight window manager like icewm or similar - would be a great thing for a number of reasons. - openSUSE is generally considered a desktop centric distribution, providing a server cd would do a heck of a lot to highligt the excellent (home-)server qualities of openSUSE. - The few people that realize that the openSUSE DVD/netinstall actually offers text mode/server installation, are often discouraged by needing to download a full DVD, or do troublesome and slow http/ftp installation. - Server users are generally more technical people, it would be beneficial to attract more of these to the openSUSE project. - More people using openSUSE on home servers would likely have spill-over effects on SLES sales. - An openSUSE server cd, would be an excellent response to Ubuntu server edition and Microsoft Home Server. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305664

Feature added by: Sharque uddin Ahmed Farooqui (safknw) Feature #308314, revision 1 Title: better wine integration openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sharque uddin Ahmed Farooqui (safknw) Description: There are times we need to use windows applications. Wine applications does not integrate well with with rest of desktop. There is no menu entry for wine settings. Also there should be menu for reboot wine. I use wine for Heidisql (Mysql admin tool) and some time for games. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308314

[openFate 305582] Off-Line one click install (MSI for Linux)
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: Duncan Mac-Vicar <dmacvicar(a)novell.com> Feature #305582, revision 1, last change by Title: Off-Line one click install (MSI for Linux) openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Duncan Mac-Vicar <dmacvicar(a)novell.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Idea from community member Raul Romero. Same concept as MSI packages for Windows but exploiting the One Click Install concept of openSUSE (and therefore inheriting the simplicity, code and security. Basically a compressed file which includes a repository inside, plus one click install information, and a script to trigger the oneclickinstall handler with the data as payload in the script. Therefore is a collection of rpms that can be installed detailed description is here http://en.opensuse.org/OSI There is already a prototype working. Example script: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/363315/MozillaFirefox.osi This requires some extra features in one click install and other pieces * ability to force OneClick to add the repo (the one inside the compressed file) Additionally I see other features: * ability to suggest an update repo for the installed bundle * support from build service to generate bundles * easy way to generate them locally Out of scope but interesting: * Ablity to trigger a YaST workflow (its own control.xml?) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This solves the business case of distributing service packs, applications, codecs bundles by just downloading a big file, 100% offline, supporting dependencies and repo signatures. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305582

[openFATE 306907] Add support for Ksplice
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: Stephan Kleine (bitshuffler) Feature #306907, revision 1 Title: Add support for Ksplice openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Stephan Kleine (bitshuffler) Description: KSplice allows it currently to apply most but not all kernel updates without the need to reboot which is especially great for servers. It's backed by a newly founded corporation that continually tries to improve it so hopefully sometime in the future a reboot wont be necessary for any kernel update. Fedora as well as Ubuntu already support it so openSUSE shouldn't stay behind. URL: http://www.ksplice.com/ -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306907

Feature added by: T. J. Brumfield (enderandrew) Feature #307597, revision 1 Title: Courgette openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: T. J. Brumfield (enderandrew) Description: Utilize Courgette for binary diff packages. * This will save on bandwidth costs for Novell and mirrors. * This will make updating quicker and easier for end-users. * This will especially benefit users who have capped bandwidth for downloading updates from their ISPs. * By making the update process easier, it encourages users to stay up-to-date, making systems more secure. http://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/software-updates-courge… (http://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/software-updates-courge…) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307597

[openFATE 306528] Info banner for projects/packages

Feature added by: Jan-Simon Möller (dl9pf) Feature #306528, revision 1 Title: Info banner for projects/packages Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jan-Simon Möller (dl9pf) Description: I'd propose to add an info banner (as on the monitor page - aka "Adrians Blog" ;) ) to the projects or even packages. This would allow the new groups of packagers to leave status messages right in place for the projects. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306528

[New: openFATE 308685] Gnome Slab's More Applications not open another Window
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 11 Feb '17

11 Feb '17

Feature added by: Drew Kwashnak (dragonbite) Feature #308685, revision 1 Title: Gnome Slab's More Applications not open another Window Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Drew Kwashnak (dragonbite) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: In the Gnome Slab, if the Application has not been pinned to the Favorites you are forced to click "More Applications" and it opens up a Window. Maybe this could open a window like Windows XP does? Or can slide to the side like KDE 4 does? Something should be in place by default. Is there something called "Lancelot" which would apply here, or is just KDE? Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: The opened window may get lost in Windows, can be easily pushed behind something else or a pushy application that finally loads may pop-up over it and otherwise be annoying. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308685
