Feature added by: Andrey Karepin (EGDFree) Feature #309440, revision 1 Title: Support C project on KDevelop4 openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Andrey Karepin (egdfree) Description: KDevelop - powerful IDE for development on C/C++ (Qt), PHP and other languages. Unfortunately in 4 versions support of creation From projects (only With ++ (Qt)) and PHP (plug-in) has disappeared. The previous versions of this development environment had support of C. In the absence of this probably it is necessary to use Eclipse or Kate. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309440

Feature added by: Birger Kollstrand (MrKane) Feature #308273, revision 1 Title: Community repositories" should be default selction when adding repository openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Birger Kollstrand (mrkane) Description: Currently the default selection in Yast->Software Repositories->Add is the Specify url" choice. >From a usaability point the "Community repository" should be default choice. 1. It is easier for a newcommer to selct in a list, rather than typing in a url. 2. I would guess that a large portio of the users would like to add excisting repositories in that list anyway. http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=549362#c1 (http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=549362#c1) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308273

Feature added by: Sascha Manns (saigkill) Feature #307256, revision 1 Title: openSUSE Developer Network openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sascha Manns (saigkill) Description: Hello Mates, today i get an Idea for our Project. We can create an new Project like MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) specially for OpenSUSE. I thought we can make an DowloadSite (1-Klick) for needed Software. Another Tab includes the API RReferences from KDE4, GNOME and other Stuff. In the Tab Learning we can include some HowTo's for Programming. That's just an thought. Maybe you like it...

[openFate 305725] Use gettext for gconf schemas translations
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Feature added by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #305725, revision 1, last change by Title: Use gettext for gconf schemas translations openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The translations of all the descriptions of gconf keys in schemas are already in the gettext files of the application. Removing them from the schemas would make the packages smaller and would possibly improve gconf performance in normal usage (ie, outside of gconf-editor, where the descriptions are used). Martin Pitt and I talked about this, and Martin has implemented it for Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123025 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305725

[openFATE 306508] external checksum for supplied files
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Feature added by: Marcus Meissner (msmeissn) Feature #306508, revision 1 Title: external checksum for supplied files openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Marcus Meissner (msmeissn) Description: (on behalf of Elmar Stellnberger) I would appreciate the OpenSuse-project to keep sha-1s/md5sums of all valid files as other professional OS vendors do (Microsoft, Apple). I believe the effort to implement this would not be too high; the creation of an automatic cheksum list could be implemented in the build service (see also: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=491193) To me keeping such a list is the only way to verify that a system is clean because in my case attackers succeeded to alter the checksum table of the rpm database (rootkit was additionally not found by any antivirus sw i.e. clamav, norton, chkrootkit, etc.). Without such a checksum table I had to recreate a plain installation by hand (i.e. some self written script) by redownloading exactly the same realease and package versions from the same source as they had been drawn originally from in order to compare both roots: very cumbersome, laborious (about 2000 packages) and error prone; some packages from Packman differed although they were of same version, release and download URL; others were not available any more. I believe maintaining such a checksum table would be a true win for the Opensuse project in means of security and error reporting.

[openFATE 305946] NetworkManager - Autoselect correct peap version
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Feature added by: Helmut Schaa (hschaa) Feature #305946, revision 1, last change by Title: NetworkManager - Autoselect correct peap version openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Helmut Schaa (hschaa) Description: If no peap version is specified wpa_supplicant will already choose the right one. However, NetworkManager does not make use of that feature yet. It would be much easier for users to select peapversion "Auto" instead of having to know if the authentication server allows version 0 or 1. The peap version selection should still be possible as the user may restrict the connection to a specific peap version. Hence, I suggest a drop down combo with the items "Auto", "version 0" and "version 1". -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305946

Feature added by: Karl Eichwalder (keichwa) Feature #306330, revision 1, last change by Title: Creating .document files for PDF and HTML openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Karl Eichwalder (keichwa) Description: To make PDFs visible in yelp, we need .document file; for more information, see fate#306322. The same is valid for HTML output. All I need is the title in the "Name" entry of a .document file. The rest I'll create at packaging time with my script. "make package" resp. make package-html resp. "make package-pdf" must create these files. As the file name I propose to use $(BOOK)_$(LL).document. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306330

[openFATE 305851] Include kiwi-ltsp in Factory
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Nov '10

Feature added by: Stephan Kulow (coolo) Feature #305851, revision 1, last change by Title: Include kiwi-ltsp in Factory openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jigish Gohil (cyberorg) Description: I've been maintaining KIWI-LTSP: LTSP5 implementation on openSUSE using KIWI in server:ltsp Build Service repository, now it is at the stable and production ready state. This is request to include the packages(not all of them) in openSUSE Factory, and possibly 11.3 later. Relations: - Include kiwi-ltsp in Factory (novell/bugzilla/id: 474360) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474360 Discussion: #1: Jigish Gohil (cyberorg) (2009-02-10 08:42:08) Should this have gone on https://features.opensuse.org/ ? #2: andrea florio (anubisg1) (2009-02-10 09:16:58) +1 for me... kiwi-ltsp is great and works fine! #3: Shrenik Bhura (sbhura) (2009-02-11 05:20:31) The inclusion will largely serve as an impetus for further development of this great project. With increased exposure, the motivation to deliver a quality project shall also increase. #4: Ken Yap (ken_yap) (2009-02-11 06:31:44) Yes, please include it in OpenSUSE, it will make OpenSUSE more attractive to people who want to build thin client clusters. #5: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-02-11 06:53:23) why not Factory:Contrib? And I agree with #1 Having it in Factory means currently that someone from novell needs to review them and that's why we created contrib where everyone capable can maintain packages that go with a specific openSUSE release. And for having it on the DVD it's a bit too special use case, so it would be online repo only anyway. #6: Jigish Gohil (cyberorg) (2009-02-11 07:00:00) Not on the DVD, but Factory and OSS online repo. Instead of Contrib isn't current location - server:ltsp more appropriate? Idea is to include it officially in the distribution. I am sure we can make a same kind of arrangement we have in place for compiz to maintain this as well. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305851

[openFATE 306895] Gnome-main-menu improvements
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Feature added by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Feature #306895, revision 1 Title: Gnome-main-menu improvements openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Description: For openSUSE 11.2, it would be very useful if gnome-main-menu could be improved feature-wise and also performance-wise. Several common features that need to be implemented are as follows: 1) Right click menu to clear recent documents, recent places, etc in the main-menu slab. Important for privacy purposes. 2) Relabelling of YAST to Administrator settings in the main menu slab. 3) Adding frequently used shortcuts to the gnome-control-centre slab. At the moment the commonly used tasks in the gnome-control-centre only has a shortcut to 'set preferred applications'. Other commonly used shortcuts like user-account prefs, etc might be very useful. Performance-wise the main-menu is a lot faster and responsive today than in 10.3, except during the first startup of the application-browser slab after a restart or log-in. This takes a few seconds, and this time taken increases with increasing number of applications (tested on 11.1). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306895
