Feature added by: Martin Hicks (mohicks) Feature #308135, revision 1 Title: Upgrade Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) package Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Martin Hicks (mohicks) Description: OpenSuSE currently ships a fairly dated PCP package (2.5.0). It would be nice if a more modern version of PCP was included. Version 3.0.0 has just been released by the community. Part of the effort to move from 2.9.x to 3.0 was to update some of the packaging to split the libraries out of the core package and to create various -devel packages. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308135

[New: openFATE 309024] Inclusion of swftools
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

Feature added by: Matthew Ayres (Solar_Granulation) Feature #309024, revision 1 Title: Inclusion of swftools Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Matthew Ayres (solar_granulation) Description: As the project website says: "SWFTools is a collection of utilities for working with Adobe Flash files (SWF files). The tool collection includes programs for reading SWF files, combining them, and creating them from other content (like images, sound files, videos or sourcecode). SWFTools is released under the GPL." Of course many say that Flash is becoming obsolete, but it is still widely used and very popular. Not only is it used in web desgin, but also as a platform for Multitouch development. Swftools, being open and stable, would make an excellent addition to the openSUSE standard repository. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309024

Feature added by: Eric Renfro (psi-jack) Feature #309954, revision 1 Title: keepalived Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Eric Renfro (psi-jack) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: keepalived is used for monitoring real servers within a Linux Virtual Server (LVS) cluster. keepalived can be configured to remove real servers from the cluster pool if it stops responding, as well as send a notification email to make the admin aware of the service failure. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: keepalived is a very nice, simple, and yet powerful failover monitoring system as well as LVS director engine. pacemaker can be nice, but in many cases it may be too much for the job needed, this is where keepalived can come in and make a network router with backup completely available. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309954

[openFATE 307862] zypper parallel dowloading of packages

Feature added by: Aris Karagiannidis (arkara) Feature #307862, revision 1 Title: zypper parallel dowloading of packages openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Aris Karagiannidis (arkara) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Now, i think that this is already done with apt. What should happen is that zypper should download packages concurrently and when it does download them all, then it should install them Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Faster package management -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307862

[New: openFATE 309996] zypper download speed up
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

Feature added by: Robert Xu (bravoall1552) Feature #309996, revision 1 Title: zypper download speed up openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Robert Xu (bravoall1552) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I think we should have zypper use aria2 or some similar program to allow 2 consecutive downloads at once. While there is an option in zypp.conf, it does not work naturally with zypper and GUI tools. Having 2 downloads at once can speed up installation rapidly. For those who aren't in the DownloadInAdvance mode, maybe they can: * download 2 at once, add them to install queue, and have the install queue process as soon as the first download is done. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Because Zypper is a little slow, and that's preventing a lot of packages from being installed in time. We should be able to have zypper as speedy as possible. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309996

[New: openFATE 308465] Filter for Fold View Widget & Dolphin

Feature added by: John Moore (Johnfm3) Feature #308465, revision 1 Title: Filter for Fold View Widget & Dolphin openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: John Moore (johnfm3) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The ability for a user to filter for files that the user or a group has permissions too. Perferably the group that the user is a member of. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: In my example, I have 7 users that are joined to 4 groups (stored in LDAP) kids, preteens, teens, parents. On a NFS share, I have 105 movies, but 15 movies the members of the kids group can watch. Parents can watch all 105 movies. Its hard for members of the kids and preteen groups to quickly pick out which movie they can watch when there is 105 videos to browse thru. This gets worst when you add a Large Music collection of over 20,000. Move this to a small business enviorment, and you have a large public share that only has a small percentage of files that pertain to you. In the ideal world, the Administrator would have different shares for different groups, but in the work place things grow and dont get properly managed and relocated. When things do get move, users get pissed when things arent where they were. So typicly public shares get left alone and keep growing. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308465
