Feature added by: Sharque uddin Ahmed Farooqui (safknw) Feature #306968, revision 1 Title: rewrite yast in C# openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sharque uddin Ahmed Farooqui (safknw) Description: Yast is the best control panel for any ditro. It has become quite big and it has alot of modules and many more to come Since yast is wrriten in its own language ( http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Research/Make_YaST_Independent_of_YCP ) which quite few people know, so it is difficult others to get involved. I think we should start thinking about rewriting yast in a popular and advanced () language like C++, python or C#.... It will make development of yast faster and people find it easy to write modules according thier own requirements. My suggestion is to write it in C#. Writting it in such an advance can make app arch much simpler and also make it easy to maintain. My target relase is 12.0, sisnce it is not in option so I'm selecting 11.3 -- Sharique -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306968

[New: openFATE 308900] Request SSSD to be installed by default
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Jul '10

Feature added by: David Alston (dalston) Feature #308900, revision 1 Title: Request SSSD to be installed by default openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: David Alston (dalston) Description: I was requesting a feature through http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=574956 (http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=574956) and someone there suggested I create this feature request in OpenFATE. Apparrently the package "SSSD" (with a little configuration work) will solve a significant user support problem by caching LDAP passwords locally so that laptops (and desktops) can continue to login without a network connection. Information on SSSD can be found at https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ Use Case: We use OpenSUSE and SLES/SLED in a diverse University environment. Many of our users are easily confused by multiple login-ids and so we try to maintain single-signon whenever we can. Folks with windows laptops are able to authenticate to Active Directory and have their username/password cached on their computer so that they can login even if they are not connected to the domain. This feature is sorely missed on our OpenSUSE laptops (and some desktops). Including the "SSSD" package (and making it easy to configure) would go a *very* long way toward making OpenSUSE even more friendly to Enterprise environments. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308900

[openFATE 306646] add option to yast to disable tcp window scaling
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 13 Jul '10

Feature added by: Jose Ricardo De Leon Solis (derhundchen) Feature #306646, revision 1 Title: add option to yast to disable tcp window scaling openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jose Ricardo De Leon Solis (derhundchen) Description: I live in Guatemala and like most people in countries like mine I don't have a broadband connection, so everytime I install openSUSE I see myself opening a terminal to disable tcp window scaling and opening kate with root permisions to edit /etc/sysctl.conf to make the change permanent. Though is not complicated to do, it has become an expensive operation to perform. So it would be nice for me and for those of us who need to disable this feature to have an option to disable it in yast. It would be nice to see it in the same tab in which one can disable ipv6. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306646

This could be done by adding an extra information in the package list row, either as icon or color, or field. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306766

[openFATE 306903] Ship Xorg 7.5 / x-server 1.7

Feature added by: Michael Löffler (michl19) Feature #306903, revision 1 Title: Ship Xorg 7.5 / x-server 1.7 openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michael Löffler (michl19) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Xorg 7.5 / x-server 1.7 (due: mid august) By the time 11.2 arrives in mid november the x-server 1.6 will already be over six months old, and X.org 7.4 itself will be over a year old. The inclusion of X.org 7.5 and kernel 2.6.31 will keep 11.2 fresh and relevant throughout its nine month life, and prevent the perception of staleness among suse enthusiasts in 2010. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: The inclusion for X.org 7.5 will keep 11.2 fresh and relevant throughout its life time and prevent the perception of staleness among SUSE enthusiasts in 2010. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306903

[New: openFATE 309592] GUI for SLEPOS
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

Feature added by: Joachim Werner (joachimwerner) Feature #309592, revision 1 Title: GUI for SLEPOS Requested by: Joachim Werner (joachimwerner) Description: Create a GUI for managing the SLEPOS admin server and setting up branch servers. The most obvious approach would be to make this a WebYaST module. But other technical approaches are welcome, too. This would be a nice project for anybody who wants to learn about hooking up a backend system (in this case the SLEPOS command line interface and LDAP) to a web application (e.g. Ruby on Rails or another framework of your choice). The goal for hackweek wouldn't be a perfect solution, just a first hack. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309592

Feature added by: belal mandurah (belal_mandurah) Feature #308036, revision 1 Title: GNOME Icons openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: belal mandurah (belal_mandurah) Description: Why the sonar-icon-theme.rpm is not installed as a default? I think it blends more nicely with the Sonar theme than the current icons. The current icons are blueish which i think clashes with the green theme and wall paper. but the soar icons are green. I hope you can make it available for the comming opensuse 11.2.
