Feature added by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Feature #309560, revision 1 Title: upgrade groff to 1.20 openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Description: Please update groff to 1.20. Quoting Werner Lemberg: Since this topic is possibly of broader interest, I'm CCing this mail to the groff mailing list. It's nothing new, but... > GROFF VERSION: 1.18 This version is far too old. The current one is 1.20.1. > OS: openSuSE 11.2 Sigh. If you don't need Japanese support for man pages, install the current version of groff instead of relying on a version which is eight (!) years old. Test Case: echo '.PP Zażółć gęślą jaźń.' | groff -k -fUT -ms Use Case: To be able to roff documents in other scripts than Western. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309560

Feature added by: Sławomir Lach (Lachu) Feature #310061, revision 1 Title: DE intependend dialog program. openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sławomir Lach (lachu) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Create dialog program with many backend: QT, GTK+, ncruses, WxWidgets.

Make it also extensible, allowing to return information about supporting feature by backend and using something similar to namespaces. Test Case: Runing scripts written to use this tool in different ways. Use Case: I'm programmer and I need to create simple tool to comunicate by user. I can realize this by multidialog tool ;-) .

[New: openFATE 308456] improve nomad/xrdp to allow to attach to physical x11 session

Feature added by: Nassim Salem (nsalem) Feature #308456, revision 1 Title: improve nomad/xrdp to allow to attach to physical x11 session openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Nassim Salem (nsalem) Description: Nomad/XRDP is a great tool that allows for high performance remote desktop to an opensuse desktop. The tool was first introduced in opensuse 11.1. The tool however lacks functionality when compared to Windows RDP. Nomad allows us you to create a new session on a remote desktop and then disconnect and reconnect to that same session. It will not however connect or attach to an existing physical X11 session on that remote machine. The only tools that allow one to do this are x11vnc and nx with shadow option but both are terribly slow. Having this capability would be awesome and would bring it on par with what Windows users have. Use Case: This is an issue for users that physically work on a machine locally for example at work and have number of long running processes and many apps open and lock the session and go home and then want to connect to that same machine at work from home. Nomad will connect them to either a new session or a different session than they have at work. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308456

Feature added by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #308451, revision 1 Title: at-spi2 by default openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Description: The accessibility stack in GNOME has been rewritten, and is now available for testing. We need to make sure that at-spi2 works fine and is installed by default, while at-spi can probably stay available in the repository as a fallback. We need a plan for testing too. Making sure orca and accerciser work fine is a good first step. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308451

[New: openFATE 308358] Normall version evolution
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

Feature added by: Louis Gutierrez (louisgtz) Feature #308358, revision 1 Title: Normall version evolution openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Louis Gutierrez (louisgtz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Rather then having so many versions and upgrades (twice per year) allow the operating system to evolve in a non disruptive way; allowing you to apply a service pack rather then a upgrade.Version 10.3 was great, it supported dual monitors and wireless connectivity with Intel wireless cards. 11.0 was not so good, it broke my dual screen and wireless support was not very stable with WPA. 11.1 was back, it supported very well dual screens and WPA worked very well. Now we upgrade to 11.2 and it works very well but the update feature not so dependable. I did the update process and my existing installation became very sluggish, to regain the performance I had to do a clean installation. I used other distributions and on a regular basis I test other distributions and I can tell you that yes, some of the others do a very good update to new versions without problems. I have been using openSUSE since version 10.2 and it has been painful every time there is a upgrade. Yes, I think it is the best distribution for anyone, easy to use and powerful, the best linux desktop distribution. Not being able to evolve with your computer operating system tends to not give you the confidence to keep your valuable data in the computer. The questions that comes up is how long am I going to have this version? When the new version comes out in 8 months I will have to do a new installation again? If we compare it to Microsoft you can keep your data in your computer for several years and the minor upgrades are service packs and yes, mayor upgrades are questionable if your installation, data and programs will survive but at least you are not dealing with it every 8 months. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Make openSUSE a viable platform for the long term. Let it evolve in a non-disruptive way, not having to re-install every time there is a minor upgrade. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308358
