Feature added by: Scott Couston - Resigned No Confidence (zczc2311) Feature #308964, revision 1 Title: Network Services in Yasts Conflict with KDE Configure Desktop openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Scott Couston - Resigned No Confidence (zczc2311) Description:  Network Services and their ability to function is often in conflict between KDE's Configure Desktop and Yast. In 11.2 a user cannot configure a Samba server using Yast and Configure Desktop with an MS Workgroup. The Yast>Network Services>Samba Server Interface will simply not work on its own to provide a New or existing shared RW Directory or Publish an Existing Printer. There is conflict between the Interfaces Configure Desktop/Yast Samba Server/The (Dolfin) Directory Properties Rights/The (Dolfin) Directories Properties> Shared Configuration. The Interface in Configure Desktop >Advanced>Samba cannot add a Shared Printer where the Printer is configured by HPLIP. Using ANY or all 3 Interfaces in 11.2 is just NOT possible to create a functional Samba Server By itself HPLIP DOES seamlessly interfaces with Yast>Printer its great. Many Network Service type Interfaces from KDE's Configure Desktop are in conflict. Desktop Search conflicts with Beagle. Configure Desktop Hardware conflicts with Yast Network Connections and others particularly with IFUP. Task Scheduler conflicts with Auto-Start. We need to test out own Interface conflicts between Yast and Configure Desktop settings before we release our integrated KDE Software/Yast Package. Auto-Spell just failed in this text box of FATE. KDE Server and Desktop software needs to work out of the box. (The Fate Error " There were errors: * The description is not valid richtext: Error: Element p is not declared in p list of possible children at :0." does not help anyone -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308964

[New: openFATE 308959] Sheet-local range name
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

Feature added by: Kohei Yoshida (kohei_yoshida) Feature #308959, revision 1 Title: Sheet-local range name Requested by: Kohei Yoshida (kohei_yoshida) Description: Support range names that are local to sheet. Calc currently supports global range names only. We need this for VBA interop as well as Excel interop reasons. Lack of this feature is also blocking upstream integration of Excel range name support. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308959

Feature added by: Kohei Yoshida (kohei_yoshida) Feature #308977, revision 1 Title: Support more than 3 conditions in conditional formatting Requested by: Kohei Yoshida (kohei_yoshida) Description: Calc currently only supports up to 3 conditions in the conditional formatting dialog. We should extend that to allow perhaps semi-unlimited number of conditions. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308977

Feature added by: Cornelius Schumacher (cschum) Feature #306609, revision 1 Title: KDE SDK Requested by: Cornelius Schumacher (cschum) Description: Developing KDE application is not hard, but involves quite a bit ofmachinery. You have to get in place the development environment, tools,documentation for all involved components. Creating a KDE SDK appliance, whichputs all this together in a pre-configured and easily accessible way, could makeit even easier to get started with KDE development. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306609

[New: openFATE 308658] Restart button in Firefox

Feature added by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Feature #308658, revision 1 Title: Restart button in Firefox openSUSE-11.3: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Description: We release a lot of MozillaFirefox updates. Every update has the risk, that parts of an already running firefox don't work anymore. Especially popup-windows are very often empty afterwards. Because of the broken popup windows, it is not always possible to close firefox and start it again without loosing the current sessions. If you configure themes and/or plugins, MozillaFirefox offers sometimes a "restart" button. We shoud provide this functionality in the standard menu, too, so that customers can restart firefox without loosing data. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308658

[openFate 305587] Yast template for theming
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Feature added by: Jakub Steiner <jimmac(a)novell.com> Feature #305587, revision 1, last change by Title: Yast template for theming openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jim McEldowney <jimmac(a)erie.net> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: To be able to skin the Yast installer properly, I would welcome the existence of a YCP template to include all of the widgets included in the actual installer. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Without such a testbed it's extremely hard and error prone to create new styling. In some cases it's impossible to see the implications of a style change until after it has been submitted to build and new distribution snapshot released. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305587

[openFATE 305876] Packages usage statistics

31 Mar '11

Feature added by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) Feature #305876, revision 1, last change by Title: Packages usage statistics openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) Description: Moved from Brainstorming_Prague (http://en.opensuse.org/BrainStorming_Prague#We_don.27t_know_which_packages_…) Problem: We don't know which packages users really use/have installed We cannot focus our interest on really important packages for our end-users, because we don't know which are important. Those popularity statistics could help us in many ways - for example bug priority of popular package should be higher, or we can decide move the package from/to Factory, ... Debian has a http://popcon.debian.org/ and popularity-contest package, so we should reuse an existing code. The pupularity-contest executable is a simple Perl script, which should be ported to rpm (replacing of dpkg calls by rpm alternative should be enough). Those package usage statistics could be integrated into Software Portal and to YaST comparing relative results for individual packages between openSUSE and Debian can give us a valuable information about the community structure (how many users use development tools etc.) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305876

[New: openFATE 309088] zsync support for update channel refresh
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 26 Mar '11

26 Mar '11

Feature added by: Dirk Mueller (dirkmueller) Feature #309088, revision 1 Title: zsync support for update channel refresh openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Dirk Mueller (dirkmueller) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: For every released maintenance update, the repodata/primary.xml.gz file grows by a bit (depending on the number of dependencies etc for every released package). To smoothen updater-experience and reduce the amount of data that has to be download for an update-repo refresh, the diff of the file should be downloaded by using zsync. In addition the repo-channel generation script has to run zsyncmake and gzip --rsyncable. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: With openSUSE 11.2, the primary.xml.gz size grows by 1.1MB for every released kernel, and currently the file has to be downloaded completely upon every change (due to xml.gz compression). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309088

Feature added by: Klaus Kämpf (kwk) Feature #309583, revision 1 Title: Lightweight WebYaST backend Requested by: Klaus Kämpf (kwk) Description: The current Rails based WebYaST backend (webyast-base-ws) is somewhat heavyweight (see http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Web/Deployment/Size) Explore alternatives with special consideration of * size (disk + memory) * integration (usefulness outside of webyast, pooling with other mgmt stacks) * more common/standardized data model * keeping it RESTful -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309583

[New: openFATE 309335] Proof-read english desktop Strings
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Feature added by: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) Feature #309335, revision 1 Title: Proof-read english desktop Strings openSUSE-11.3: New Priority Requester: Desirable Info Provider: mexico yucatan (mana) Requested by: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: the software strings that are fed to our translators are not in the expected qualtiy. We should find and address ambiguous or misleading messages, as this causes problems during translation. I suggest to proofread software strings and implement a feedback channel to upstream through our packagers. This request seeks a sponsor from SLED product management and - obviously - seeks approval for sharing the results with the world. Documentation Impact: Allocate Proofreader Resources Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Improve User Experience. Avoid incorrect localization. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309335
