[New: openFATE 308469] Automatically generated list of various private/open repositories
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 23 May '11

23 May '11

Feature added by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Feature #308469, revision 1 Title: Automatically generated list of various private/open repositories Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Description: The new build service promises to make available many new packages for openSUSE community members. It also means proliferation of many packaged rpms to varying standards, with risk of dependency problems and breakage in users openSUSE systems, who add unsupported private repositories without understanding the risk. A way forward is needed to help both the private packagers and the community in using any newly available packages where appropriate, and not using them where not appropriate for use. A way forward start (but not the final answer) would be an automatically (on a regular basis) generated list posted on a web page/site, that would list all build service repositories, with a comment/descriptive field that the build service packager is required to fill in. A recommend field could be an indication as to their planned future support for any package (ie "one of package" for private use, or "temporary package for TBD time frame", or "planned for long term support", or "packaged for private testing" ... ) etc ... With this automatically generated/re-generated list in place, openSUSE users could go to the list to help them assess if they should download and install an rpm from a repository, or indeed if they should add the repository to their software package manager's repository list. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308469

[openFATE 306979] Increase Installing/Update speed (concurrency)
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 May '11

15 May '11

Feature added by: Jörn Knie-von Allmen (Phisiker) Feature #306979, revision 1 Title: Increase Installing/Update speed (concurrency) openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jörn Knie-von Allmen (phisiker) Description: Solution: Download and Installing in separate processes/threads. So, while installing, the download of the next package can be done (or even partially done). Waiting for terminating the intallprocess of the previous package before to download the next package makes no sense. (Every time when upgrading, this ist annoying). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306979

Feature added by: J Thimm (thimm) Feature #307620, revision 1 Title: Parenta Control openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: J Thimm (thimm) Description: I would love to see a parental control feature (with GUI) that allows families -- to use the OS by kids. Parental Control features: - easy configurable and usable This should be compulsory -- because how do you want to educate the youngsters to use the interne? Currently parents cannot "easily" administer such features -- one has to be a professional to get this to work!! I would rather let my kids use Windows because of this -- since there are a number of program do do this job! Am I wrong? Thanks -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307620

[New: openFATE 309579] Dependency tree in zypper summary
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 11 May '11

11 May '11

Feature added by: Ján Kupec (jkupec) Feature #309579, revision 1 Title: Dependency tree in zypper summary Requested by: Ján Kupec (jkupec) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Visualize dependencies of packages (from the installation summary or given on command line) using colored (by type of dependency - recommends, requires, etc) ASCII tree/graph. The feature can be enabled in the info command (zypper info --dep-tree package) and in the installation summary prompt (in which case it would show the graph from the requested packages via all the to-be-installed ones, ending with the installed ones). This feature is meant to be kept simple, and leave more complex analysis to other tools (FATE 309572). Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Visualization of package dependencies in a tree makes it easier for packagers to spot incorrect/unneeded dependencies and manage systems, save space, or analyze dependency problems for administrators and users. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309579

[openFATE 306116] Better lock handling in zypper
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 06 May '11

06 May '11

Feature added by: Marek Stopka (m4r3k) Feature #306116, revision 1, last change by Title: Better lock handling in zypper openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Marek Stopka (m4r3k) Description: Currently only two states in locking of packages are available (keep package as is/do not care about package) but I think it would be much more better to have a possibility lock only some parameters of package... For example you have a 64bit machine, but you want keep some package always in i586 version, but you still wanna version updates in this case there should be a possibility to lock only this parameter. Of course there is a lot of options what else can be locked, for example version of package, meaning that you can't change package version, but release number can change... -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306116

[openFATE 307310] Good CJK / East Asian input support (esp. KDE)
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 May '11

Feature added by: Markus K (KAMiKAZOW) Feature #307310, revision 1 Title: Good CJK / East Asian input support (esp. KDE) openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Markus K (kamikazow) Description: Setting up CJK support for typing kanji has always been a bitch for me and I always failed -- especially under KDE 4, even though I consider myself an experienced computer user. Wang Hoi developed an applet that should make it all easier. It's currently in KDE-Review. He wrote about it: http://qiacat.blogspot.com/2009/03/as-my-first-post-first-say-hello-to.html http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/plasma-devel/2009-May/005420.html -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307310

[openFATE 307873] Add the uuid-ossp module to postgresql-contrib
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 04 May '11

04 May '11

Feature added by: Reinhard Max (rmax) Feature #307873, revision 1 Title: Add the uuid-ossp module to postgresql-contrib openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Reinhard Max (rmax) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: As it has been pointed out in bnc#534050 and in private mail, we are missing the uuid-ossp module from our postgresql-contrib package. The reason for this is, that it depends on the ossp-uuid library, for which we do not yet have an official package in Factory. For 11.3 both, the library package and the contrib modules should be added. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: To stay compatible with the PostgreSQL packages of other distributions and with applications that require this module. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307873

[New: openFATE 308351] Make Live Updates Easy

Feature added by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Feature #308351, revision 1 Title: Make Live Updates Easy openSUSE-11.3: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Description: The infrastructure is there for Live updates and it works with "zypper dup" but there are many manual steps. This is too complicated, users need first to google for the details before using it. We need an easy way to update from 11.2 to Factory, from 11.2 to 11.3 and from Factory to 11.3. Easy means: A single command line that does by default the update from 11.2 to 11.3 and offers the others as well. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308351
