Feature added by: Ciaran Farrell (babelworx) Feature #312456, revision 1 Title: Submit requests should have priorities Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ciaran Farrell (babelworx) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: A submit request should have a priority which can be assigned by a select group of either groups or individuals (i.e. those with the appropriate permissions). This will enable the project manager to increase or decrease the priority of review of a submit request by e.g. the legal team. Submit requests with higher priority will be taken care of first. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312456

[New: openFATE 310848] Allow select multiple in Package Manager (YaST module)
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

Feature added by: Mindaugas Baranauskas (embar-) Feature #310848, revision 1 Title: Allow select multiple in Package Manager (YaST module) openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Mindaugas Baranauskas (embar-) Description: Now I can select only 1 or only all packages in YaST package manager. It would be logical to allow to mark several packages (more than 1, not all) by pressing Shift, Ctrl. The marked packages could be manipulated with the same task: I select 3 packages, press right mouse, select to install (uninstall/tabu) these 3 packages. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310848

[New: openFATE 310896] Consistent Network device naming-Name network interfaces to match chassis labels
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

Feature added by: Narendra K - (narendra_k) Feature #310896, revision 1 Title: Consistent Network device naming-Name network interfaces to match chassis labels openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Narendra K - (narendra_k) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: On a Dell PowerEdge server with multiple add-in cards, the naming of the network interfaces is non-deterministic. This results in 'eth0' not mapping to "Embedded NIC 1" as labelled on the server chassis. This issue is seen on Dell PowerEdge 10G above. This feature addresses this issue by renaming network interfaces based on the following policy as discussed in the Linux Plumbers Conference - http://marc.info/?l=linux-hotplug&m=128892593821639&w=2 Embedded devices: em<port> (em => ethernet-on-motherboard) Add-in PCI cards: pci<slot>#<port>_<virtual function instance> On a PER710 with 4 Lan-On-Motherboard interfaces and a dual port add-in network controller, the interface names would look like - Onboard interfaces - em1 em2 em3 em4 eth0 Interface names for the dual port add-in controller on pci slot 2 pci2#0, pci2#1 If the second port has virtual functions enabled - pci2#1_0, pci2#1_2 ... etc Biosdevname, which is a Dell developed utility can suggest these names for the kernel ethN names. This needs to be used as a udev helper utility. It is available here - http://linux.dell.com/files/biosdevname/permalink/biosdevname-0.3.1.tar.gz http://linux.dell.com/files/biosdevname/permalink/biosdevname-0.3.1.tar.gz.… GIT: http://linux.dell.com/cgi-bin/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=biosdevname.git;a=summary Please find the relevant upstream discussions - * http://marc.info/?l=linux-hotplug&m=129003163201746&w=3 * http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=129100609428767&w=3 * http://linux.dell.com/files/presentations/Linux_Plumbers_Conf_2010/matt-dom… * http://linux.dell.com/files/presentations/Linux_Plumbers_Conf_2010/matt-dom… Test Case: With this change - 1.ifconfig -a would show emN names for onboard interfaces. 2. em1 should correspond to the interface labelled 'Gb1' on the chassis label, em2 to 'Gb2' etc. This can be tested by ethtool -p em1 (Blinks the interface) 3. If the kernel has the commit 911e1c9b05a8e3559a7aa89083930700a0b9e7ee cat /sys/class/net/em1/device/label Embedded NIC 1 Use Case: System administrators can use the Bios provided names which are consistent across reboots. There is no state such as HWADDR embedded to achieve persistent naming Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: When there are multiple network interfaces in a system (onboard + add-in interfaces), eth0 does not always map to the 'Embedded NIC 1' as labelled on system chassis. The naming is non-deterministic. This feature request addresses the issue by naming the interfaces as per the BIOS suggested names. Please refer to the following for more details on the reasons for non-determinism * http://lwn.net/Articles/356900/ * http://linux.dell.com/files/presentations/LinuxCon_2010/linuxcon2010_domsch… -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310896

[New: openFATE 312450] Imrpovements on Yast package manager

Feature added by: Fernando Martin (fernando_a_martin) Feature #312450, revision 1 Title: Imrpovements on Yast package manager openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Fernando Martin (fernando_a_martin) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: It's very frustating when I'm downloading packages in yast and something fails and lose all I was downloading. It's also complicated that I have to calculate how long the download of packages will last 'cause I can't pause and resume it later. It would be very nice if the gui yast package manager worked like a download manager allowing pause, resume, restart of failed downloads, preview of size, progress and time and had gui customization for what to do when something fails. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312450
