[New: openFATE 309034] Complete move to PolicyKit 1

Feature added by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #309034, revision 1 Title: Complete move to PolicyKit 1 openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Description: PoliycKit < 1 is old, non-maintained. For 11.3, we should make sure to move everything to the new polkit. Looking at the packages that still require PolicyKit-devel to build (ie, the old PolicyKit stack), we only have a few packages to fix. * cups-pk-helper: will be fixed when I released 0.1.0 upstream (soon) * hal: kay has a fixed package in home:kay_sievers:branches:Base:System * PolicyKit-gnome: only needed for GNOME integration of old PolicyKit * polkit-qt: no idea * ruby-polkit: no idea * smpppd: patch submitted (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=580719) * yast2-dbus-server: no idea -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309034

[openFate 305493] Look at plymouth for splash during boot

Feature added by: Vincent Untz <vuntz(a)novell.com> Feature #305493, revision 1, last change by Title: Look at plymouth for splash during boot openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz <vuntz(a)novell.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I wanted to open a fate feature about this when I first heard of plymouth, but reading http://fedoramagazine.wordpress.com/2008/10/21/interview-fedora-10s-better-… really makes me think we should go this way. Ray's comment starting with "Every flicker and mode change in the boot process takes away from the whole experience." is especially interesting. Is it okay to track the "don't show grub by default" here? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305493

[openFATE 307461] SFLphone SIP Client

Feature added by: René Krell (renekrell) Feature #307461, revision 1 Title: SFLphone SIP Client Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: René Krell (renekrell) Description: it is a 'must' for a good distribution to include a few really working SIP clients for internet telephony. I suggest to introduce SFLphone (http://www.sflphone.org) into the distribution. It works well with the latest stable version 0.9.6 and provides a GNOME and a KDE/Qt4 client. What do you want more. Futhermore this fills the space in timeline for a missing KDE4 SIP client (kcall isn't really usable and Twinkle stucks on Qt3). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307461

[New: openFATE 309055] get rid of SuSEconfig.postfix

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #309055, revision 1 Title: get rid of SuSEconfig.postfix openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Description: /etc/sysconfig/postfix and SuSEconfig.postfix are a mess. They cause trouble on updates and one never knows whether the settings are actually applied or a "xy.SuSEconfig" file gets created. Instead of translating sysconfig values to postconf calls, yast should just read and modify postfix' files directly if needed. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=559235 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=580124 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=580485 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309055

[New: openFATE 309370] Get ride of SuSEconfig.gtk2
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Jun '12

Feature added by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Feature #309370, revision 1 Title: Get ride of SuSEconfig.gtk2 openSUSE-11.3: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There are a few packages which needs a SuSEconfig.gtk2 run afterwards. Currently they touch "run-gtk" and the next SuSEconfig run will execute the script. But the problem is, that only YaST2 calls SuSEconfig afterwards, zypper and rpm do not. As result, if you install gtk based applications the first time with zypper or rpm, this ones are often broken and don't work. The workaround is, that all this applications get a %run_suseconfig macro. This is very error prone, and makes the installation slower than doing it right from the beginning and let the post install of this packages, which really installs a plugin, register it correct. As all the bug reports with SLE11 SP1 shows, the current solution is not maintainable in any ways. We need to get ride of this hack. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Make gtk applications work out of the box again and not depending on a special Novell hack not supported by most of our own RPMs and 3rd party RPMs. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309370

It incorporates many of the cool things from Amarok (and other media players) like automatic fetching of album art, handling of large libraries, lyrics fetching, artist/album information via Wikipedia, Last.fm submission support, and optional iPod support via a plugin. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309554

Feature added by: Matthias Klumpp (lintns) Feature #308419, revision 1 Title: FPC & Lazarus Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Matthias Klumpp (lintns) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Please create a FPC and a Lazarus package for openSUSE so that applications programmed using Free Pascal can be compiled on openSUSE without troubles. You can take the Fedora package as starting point. http://freepascal.org http://lazarus.freepascal.org Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Some applications like WinFF, easyMP3Gain or Listaller need the Pascal development environment to be compiled. Pascal is also an ideal language for education and for writing powerful cross platform applications. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308419
