[New: openFATE 309108] Add support for R to Cantor

Feature added by: Kevin Coonan (KevinC_MD) Feature #309108, revision 1 Title: Add support for R to Cantor Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Kevin Coonan (kevinc_md) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Cantor can support R as a backend, but the OpenSUSE build of Cantor was compiled without the needed support for the very well regarded R statisical analysis software and programming language. It was likely done when problems w/ R building for 11.2 were encountered, and just has not been fixed. R is one of the intended, and advertised, back-ends for Cantor. R is an open source, robust, statistical programming language similar to the comercial "S". It has very strong community support, and nearly every statistical analysis or graphic is supported, including many which are not available with comercial software such as SAS or SPSS. It is also the primary tool for analysis of genomic (e.g. gene sequencing, gene expression, gene association) analysis via the Bioconductor project. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: R does not include a GUI front-end. While several are available, the previous KDE front-end (RKWard) does not seem to be viable (and I have not seen it anywhere in KDE 4). Cantor is promoted as the replacement for RKWard and the support of R featured in press releases, etc. Combined w/ adding SAGE support, this would make Cantor, and OpenSUSE, and ideal platform for mathmatics, statistics and informatics. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309108

[openFATE 306347] Expanded View in Web Interface
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Feb '11

18 Feb '11

Feature added by: Stephan Binner (Beineri) Feature #306347, revision 1, last change by Title: Expanded View in Web Interface Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Stephan Binner (beineri) Description: The Build Service web interface should allow to switch to an expanded view (unlayered, with package patches applied) as alternate view. This would ease debugging of other people build problems and is also nicer for upstream/anonymous users (Fate#306192) without having to checkout via osc for expanded version. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306347

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #306381, revision 1, last change by Title: Read Only mode for anonymous users in Web Client Buildservice: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Description: The OBS Web Client shall offer a read only mode for not loged in users. Goals: * The current projects and packages shall become browseable * Search engines shall be able to index our content * Our sources, including the patches should be accessable. * Log files shall be accessable for developers without login. What should not be accessable: Of course no write operations and everything which is causing too much load on our servers. The system must be still usable for packagers as higher goal. This means: * No build result downloads via api * No monitor pages due to the cause load ? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306381

[New: openFATE 309322] L2TP support in openSUSE
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 16 Feb '11

16 Feb '11

Feature added by: Yasha Gindikin (SlonoInquisitor) Feature #309322, revision 1 Title: L2TP support in openSUSE openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Yasha Gindikin (slonoinquisitor) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Please, add the xl2tpd package to the installation DVD and official repository, and provide a way to configure the L2TP connection through the Network Manager. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Currently, many internet providers switch from the older Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) to a newer one, called Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP). This transition is especially noticeable in Russia, where both large and smaller ISP companies tend to obtrude it without any alternative upon the end-user. However, the support for L2TP is totally missing in openSUSE. Specifically, the xl2tpd package to provide the support is absent in official repositories and has no assigned maintainer. Which is a shame, since most solid distribution, including Ubuntu, Debian and Mandriva, have this package in their repos. Then, no support for L2TP is provided in Network Manager. Generally, there is not any configuration tool for L2TP in openSUSE, apart from manual tuning the text configuration files. The situation should be improved. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309322

[openFATE 308150] how to enter expert/advanced partitioning during install unnecessarily obscure
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 07 Feb '11

Feature added by: Felix Miata (mrmazda) Feature #308150, revision 1 Title: how to enter expert/advanced partitioning during install unnecessarily obscure Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Felix Miata (mrmazda) Description: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=547703 has this bug's details. The current design is an nth iteration of a design that has been broken several years and needs to be fixed. Of all the major distros I've been installing over many years, openSUSE's has been the least intuitive advanced partitioner to get started. To convince people openSUSE is better than Ubuntu requires it actually be better. This is problematic for multibooters who get their existing partitiong corrupted because they didn't realize they weren't where they needed to be to get the partitioning job done properly. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308150

[openFate 305768] Use open source firmware for b43
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

Feature added by: Helmut Schaa (hschaa) Feature #305768, revision 1, last change by Title: Use open source firmware for b43 openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Helmut Schaa (hschaa) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently openSUSE does not ship the firmware for broadcom devices due to legal issues. Only a script /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware is provided which is not easy to find for new users. However an open source firmware for these devices are available now at [1] and would allow to be shipped with openSUSE. Of course this firmware needs some testing but it would be quite nice to not depend anymore on the proprietary firmware.
