[New: openFATE 308812] mailing list feeds

Feature added by: Peter Gumbrell (gumb) Feature #308812, revision 1 Title: mailing list feeds Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Peter Gumbrell (gumb) Description: There are some RSS news feeds associated with the mailing lists, but they seem to be broken. I noticed the feed icon in my browser when going to a page such as http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-features/ (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-features/) but the link contains no feed data. I don't know if this is a function that once worked and has broken or just never implemented. Use Case: It would be handy to be able to merely view the feeds from an agregator rather than subscribe to the lists or view them all in a browser. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308812

[New: openFATE 309637] Expanded kernel-source
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

Feature added by: Michal Marek (michal-m) Feature #309637, revision 1 Title: Expanded kernel-source Requested by: Michal Marek (michal-m) Developer: (Novell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Create a "mirror" of the kernel-source repository (http://gitorious.org/opensuse/kernel-source) that has the same commits as kernel-source, but the trees are actual linux sources with the suse patches applied. While this sounds easy and I have a working prototype already, there are a few gotchas to solve: * what to do with patches that do not apply (and with those that do apply, but only with a specific version of patch(1)) * what to do with really ancient suse trees that where the patch series was dependent on the architecture or flavor * how to do this incrementally and automatically after each kernel-source push Also a nice feature would be to merge with the upstream branch whenever the upstream version is updated, so that one has a single history to browse. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Easy browsing of the history, without having to decipher two columns with plus and minus signs. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309637

[New: openFATE 310092] have an option to apply the gnome "monitor preferences" to xorg.conf
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 07 Sep '10

Feature added by: Thiago Sayao (sayao) Feature #310092, revision 1 Title: have an option to apply the gnome "monitor preferences" to xorg.conf openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Thiago Sayao (sayao) Description: There's a problem with gnome monitor prefereces: the preferences if for the user and the user is only known after the login, but X starts and shows GDM before the login. So there is an extra flicker (in my case it flickers twice for some reason) when changing from the gdm monitor settings to the gnome desktop monitor settings. This option would allow to convert the xrandr settings to a xorg.conf file (asking for the root password) with the monitor settings (monitor positions, resolution and the default monitor). In the UI it would be represented by an option or an "apply to system" option. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310092

[openFATE 307774] software repositories: provide groups
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 07 Sep '10

Feature added by: Maciej Pilichowski (truemacias) Feature #307774, revision 1 Title: software repositories: provide groups openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Maciej Pilichowski (truemacias) Description: Original report: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=475978 It would ease management of the repos. I could create KDE group, Gnome group, and enable/disable group, instead of doing the same to several repos at once. It could work like a macro: * disable KDE --> disable all repos that are in KDE group * enable KDE --> enable all repos that are in KDE group Don't confuse this with packages groups! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307774

[New: openFATE 309551] Add AlarmClock package
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 04 Sep '10

04 Sep '10

Feature added by: Hendrik Vogelsang (hennevogel) Feature #309551, revision 1 Title: Add AlarmClock package Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Hendrik Vogelsang (hennevogel) Description: http://alarm-clock.54.pl/ Although there's a KDE alarm clock, there doesn't seem to be an equivalent function in GNOME without resorting to something much bigger, like a PIM. This Alarm Clock seems to provide a good mix of functions in a small package, with GNOME integration. However, it would be nice to enhance this utility to (optionally) wake a computer from sleep when an alarm time arrives. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309551

Feature added by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Feature #309023, revision 1 Title: Checkout from External Repositories and Packaging Buildservice: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Description: I'd like to see a way to setup packages that they checkout automatically from remote repositories (methods: svn, cvs, git, bazar) and build the package. For building a spec file that is part of the remote repository can be used. This will make it easy to connect to upstream projects and build packages for them. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309023
