[openFATE 307489] Combine repositories!
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Dec '10

Feature added by: Jason Fergus (jfergus) Feature #307489, revision 1 Title: Combine repositories! openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jason Fergus (jfergus) Description: openSUSE would be at least 50x easier to install / maintain if they took a different approach to the repositories. Look at Fedora. They dropped Core and Extras and made it one big distribution, then all the dag, livna and freshrpms combined into rpmfusion.org. This is what should / needs to happen with openSUSE. For someone who is used to doing it, this is probably not that big of a deal. To someone who is used to installing Windows and having to scour the Internet for drivers, it's not that big of deal. To someone coming from using mostly Fedora, Ubuntu or Debian, this is HUGE. Fedora is simple, add rpmfusion.org and probably the adobe yum repository and you have access to everything from drivers to flash. In Debian, just enable non-free and contrib, then the debian-multimedia (for mplayer, mythtv etc) and you're all set. Ubuntu really only needs medibuntu repositories and you can get everything you need for a decent setup. openSUSE has a ton that need to be enabled. Emulators, Pacman, nvidia, etc. While it is nice and simple that you have a 'one click' install for most things, it still would be easier / simpler to just run 'zypper install atari800' without having to add the Emulator repository. This and the menus are the only thing that really throws me off of running openSUSE. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307489

[New: openFATE 309227] Limit entries (10 or 20) in *.changes
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Feature added by: Johannes Obermayr (jobermayr) Feature #309227, revision 1 Title: Limit entries (10 or 20) in *.changes Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Johannes Obermayr (jobermayr) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: *.changes are artificially blown and should been truncated to max. 10 or 20 entries. Test Case: kernel-{flavor}.changes in factory: 764.22 KB mkinitrd.changes: 107.22 KB Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Normal computer users do not care about something that Konrad Zuse did in 1938 (Z1). They only want to know what happened recently to the packages. Use Yast packager, select kernel-{flavor} package and click on "Changelog". Then you can go drinking a coffee ... -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309227

Feature added by: Agustin Chavarria (dj_ubun_1) Feature #309286, revision 1 Title: madwimax in network manager openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Agustin Chavarria (dj_ubun_1) Description: Hi It will be good, you add madwimax driver to the base system in opensuse 11.3, in russia and Nicaragua, we have YOTA like wimax provider, and yota modem(samsung) only work via comand line, and it sucks! It will be good, it's works with network manager like default in 11.3 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309286

[New: openFATE 309291] Add kstart packages
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

Feature added by: Christoph Bartoschek (pontobart) Feature #309291, revision 1 Title: Add kstart packages openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Christoph Bartoschek (pontobart) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Please add the kstart package into opensuse. http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/kstart/ Use Case: kstart allows users to have long running jobs in a kerberized system. Normally long running jobs get into trouble as soon as their tickets expire. The tools in the kstart package allow users to start long running jobs and be sure that the jobs will always have access to the filesystem. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We do not want to extend the normal kerberos ticket lifetime for security reasons. However we have some jobs that run for weeks and that need access to the AFS filesystem. The tools from the kstart package provide the jobs with a valid ticket for the whole runtime. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309291

[New: openFATE 309472] pidgin: enable iChat/Bonjour/presence account by default
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 21 Dec '10

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #309472, revision 1 Title: pidgin: enable iChat/Bonjour/presence account by default openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Description: Me filing this request probably is an indication that I'm losing my mind ... ;-) Anyways, pidgin supports the iChat/Bonjour/presence protocol to support zeroconf instant messaging in the local network. For that to work it listens on a tcp port and uses avahi for discovery of others. The Bonjour account isn't enabled by default though. Users have to manually add it which means barely anyone actually does that. Kind of defeats the 'zeroconf' idea. So what about automatically creating a Bonjour account on first start of pidgin? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309472

[New: openFATE 310023] have a "move to monitor" option on window list (gnome)
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

Feature added by: Thiago Sayao (sayao) Feature #310023, revision 1 Title: have a "move to monitor" option on window list (gnome) openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Thiago Sayao (sayao) Description: The panel window list has options to move the window between workspaces, but it does not have an option to move the window between monitors, when the user has two. Use case: Maria has two monitors, but the second one is off (because she only uses it occasionally). Yesterday, when she used her favorite app, she moved it to her second monitor, but today this monitor is off and she opened the app. How can she move the app to the primary monitor, if she can't see it on the second monitor to drag (because the second monitor is off)? It is filed upstream: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619772 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310023

Feature added by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Feature #306915, revision 1 Title: zypper lu should show scutiry updates in red/bold openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Description: It would be useful for zypper lu to show security updates in red/bold fonts, to make them prominent, especially as colors are already in zypper version 1.2.0 according to http://jniq.blogspot.com/2009/06/colors-in-zypper.html -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306915

Feature added by: Agustin Chavarria (dj_ubun_1) Feature #308690, revision 1 Title: Blueray support openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Agustin Chavarria (dj_ubun_1) Description: opensuse 11.3 would be great to have support for BlueRay discs, there is no linux client that support for this type of format, and would be a great way for users to have this support, so you can burn your movies in this format, see videos in BlueRay either VLC, Totem, Kaffeine, Bangarang, etc etc -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308690

[openFATE 307719] hplip-hpcups and assoicated packages
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

Feature added by: Kirk Kimmel (omf) Feature #307719, revision 1 Title: hplip-hpcups and assoicated packages openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Kirk Kimmel (omf) Description: One thing I have never understood is this hplip-hpcups package. If I uninstall this package, hplip-hpijs is automatically marked for install. If I uncheck that package as well and Accept the changes via YaST2 Software Management these packages are removed. However the next time I start Software Management hplip-hpijs is checked to be installed again. The only way to stop this behavior is to mark both packages as Taboo. Shouldn't I be able to remove packages that are not needed without having to jump through hoops to make sure they do not get installed again. Currently running OpenSUSE 11.2 Milestone 6. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307719
