[openFATE 307723] MySQL version in 11.2
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Jul '11

Feature added by: Manuel Trujillo (toomany) Feature #307723, revision 1 Title: MySQL version in 11.2 Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Manuel Trujillo (toomany) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The MySQL version included into openSUSE 11.2 is the 5.0.67. I think it would be very interesting that the included version will be 5.1.38, because the InnoDB plugin is included into it. Maybe, the two versions (5.0 and 5.1) were in the distribution (like Ubuntu/Debian). Use Case: Many companies, like us, use openSUSE for all our servers. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This would solve a lot because we would have a power optimal version for the company, within the openSUSE distribution. Thank you!! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307723

[New: openFATE 309308] spectool in buildservice?

Feature added by: Robert Xu (bravoall1552) Feature #309308, revision 1 Title: spectool in buildservice? Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Robert Xu (bravoall1552) Description: I'm marking this as important because it really is. As you know, we can put URLs in spec files. The tool spectool can parse spec files and automatically download the Sources and Patches into the desired directories. So why don't we just integrate this into OBS? it's easier than just uploading one by one or using osc. Not only that, everytime the spec file is changes, any sources that have been deleted can be deleted by obs after a period (probably 3 days) and any new sources can be retrieved immediately! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309308

[New: openFATE 309561] Delta downloads of reposoitory metadata
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Feature added by: Michael Schröder (mlschroe) Feature #309561, revision 1 Title: Delta downloads of reposoitory metadata Requested by: Michael Schröder (mlschroe) Description: We already use deltarpms do speed up downloading of rpms when doing an update. Unfortunately, the repository metadata is also quite a chunk of data which considerably slows down update speed. The idea is to use a zsync like algorithm to fetch only the changed parts of the metadata. The implementation will use libcurl's multi interface to work with multiple connections in parallel. Another benefit is that the code can replace the aria2c interface, which does not fit well into the current code (different proxy handling and the like). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309561

[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

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.

Parental Control features: - easy configurable and usable This should be compulsory -- because how do you want to educate the youngsters to use the interne?

[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
