[New: openFATE 308892] Replace scim with IBUS
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: Mingxi Wu (Mingxi_Wu) Feature #308892, revision 1 Title: Replace scim with IBUS openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Mingxi Wu (mingxi_wu) Description: SCIM upstream is almost dead. We should not keep an unmaintained software in openSUSE. IBUS (http://code.google.com/p/ibus/) a new developed input method is very active and full functionality, and other distributions like Ubuntu (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/desktop-karmic-input-methods) and Fedora already had done this. We have some contributors done the IBUS packaging at OBS https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home:swyear:ibus . Everything is OK on my openSUSE 11.2 box except fail to enable it in a gnomesu window, but this is not a problem as other distributions don't have this bug. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308892

[New: openFATE 309221] Simplify adding OBS repos
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: Stefan Majewsky (majewsky) Feature #309221, revision 1 Title: Simplify adding OBS repos openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Stefan Majewsky (majewsky) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When I want to add a build service repository, I have to find a quite cryptic URL, such as http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openS…. Much of the information in this URL is redundant and error-prone, such as the domain and the distribution version. It would be much nicer if Zypper and YaST knew about the repo structure of the OBS, so I could type something like obs://KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop, and have Zypper/YaST figure out the rest. Extra points if browsers could figure out that "obs://" URLs should be handled by YaST. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This reduces error sources. For example, if I provided some repository that provides some closed-source drivers, I would currently have to provide a gigantic list of repository URLs for all supported openSUSE versions. With the proposed change, the description for how to use such a repository would boil down to: 1. Add the repository "obs://home:foobar:importantdrivers". 2. Do a system upgrade. With the browser integration, we could even have something like a one-click installation for repositories. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309221

[New: openFATE 308424] Please port Light style revision 2 theme to KDE4

Feature added by: Ilya Chernykh (Ansus) Feature #308424, revision 1 Title: Please port Light style revision 2 theme to KDE4 openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ilya Chernykh (ansus) Description: Please port Light style revision 2 theme from KDE3 to KDE4. This is the best-looking widget theme ever in my opinion. This makes transition to KDE4 much easier and allows for better coexistence of KDE3 and KDE4 applications. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308424

[openFate 305664] Server CD
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: Martin Schlander (cb400f) Feature #305664, revision 1, last change by Title: Server CD openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Martin Schlander (cb400f) Description: Providing an official openSUSE server cd - with some often used server software - and perhaps a lightweight window manager like icewm or similar - would be a great thing for a number of reasons. - openSUSE is generally considered a desktop centric distribution, providing a server cd would do a heck of a lot to highligt the excellent (home-)server qualities of openSUSE. - The few people that realize that the openSUSE DVD/netinstall actually offers text mode/server installation, are often discouraged by needing to download a full DVD, or do troublesome and slow http/ftp installation. - Server users are generally more technical people, it would be beneficial to attract more of these to the openSUSE project. - More people using openSUSE on home servers would likely have spill-over effects on SLES sales. - An openSUSE server cd, would be an excellent response to Ubuntu server edition and Microsoft Home Server. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305664

Wine applications does not integrate well with with rest of desktop. There is no menu entry for wine settings. Also there should be menu for reboot wine. I use wine for Heidisql (Mysql admin tool) and some time for games. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308314

[openFate 305582] Off-Line one click install (MSI for Linux)
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: Duncan Mac-Vicar <dmacvicar(a)novell.com> Feature #305582, revision 1, last change by Title: Off-Line one click install (MSI for Linux) openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Duncan Mac-Vicar <dmacvicar(a)novell.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Idea from community member Raul Romero. Same concept as MSI packages for Windows but exploiting the One Click Install concept of openSUSE (and therefore inheriting the simplicity, code and security. Basically a compressed file which includes a repository inside, plus one click install information, and a script to trigger the oneclickinstall handler with the data as payload in the script. Therefore is a collection of rpms that can be installed detailed description is here http://en.opensuse.org/OSI There is already a prototype working. Example script: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/363315/MozillaFirefox.osi This requires some extra features in one click install and other pieces * ability to force OneClick to add the repo (the one inside the compressed file) Additionally I see other features: * ability to suggest an update repo for the installed bundle * support from build service to generate bundles * easy way to generate them locally Out of scope but interesting: * Ablity to trigger a YaST workflow (its own control.xml?) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This solves the business case of distributing service packs, applications, codecs bundles by just downloading a big file, 100% offline, supporting dependencies and repo signatures. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305582

[openFATE 306907] Add support for Ksplice

Feature added by: Stephan Kleine (bitshuffler) Feature #306907, revision 1 Title: Add support for Ksplice openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Stephan Kleine (bitshuffler) Description: KSplice allows it currently to apply most but not all kernel updates without the need to reboot which is especially great for servers. It's backed by a newly founded corporation that continually tries to improve it so hopefully sometime in the future a reboot wont be necessary for any kernel update. Fedora as well as Ubuntu already support it so openSUSE shouldn't stay behind. URL: http://www.ksplice.com/ -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306907

[New: openFATE 309487] Clean out X11 keyboard configuration in YaST
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 24 May '17

24 May '17

Feature added by: Jiří Suchomel (jsuchome) Feature #309487, revision 1 Title: Clean out X11 keyboard configuration in YaST Requested by: Jiří Suchomel (jsuchome) Developer: (Novell) Developer: (Novell) Description: Currently, 'yast2 keyboard' is using kind of strange way of determining which X11 keyboard layout to use. There's a map of internal YaST keyboard names, to which the list of kbd console maps is mapped (like, us.map.gz). Such console map is taken as a parameter for calling /usr/sbin/xkbctrl script, which returns the informations about corresponding X11 keyboard layout (usable for setxkbmap). One problem is that not for all languages, there's a sense to have console map, and because of this situation in YaST, we are using files like ar.map.gz, which are only links to us.map.gz. Other part is that the list of X11 keyboard layouts is part of sax2-tools package which we probably want to drop. New solution would mean that YaST has all the information currently provided by xkbctrl: either by building its own data structure (if there's no other application using it), or using a better way to get the data YaST needs to know.
