[New: openFATE 311187] Anonymous source package download from web interface using disturl
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 17 Apr '12

Feature added by: Ciaran Farrell (babelworx) Feature #311187, revision 1 Title: Anonymous source package download from web interface using disturl Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ciaran Farrell (babelworx) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Using the disturl tag of our rpm package it is possible to find out exactly where the corresponding source for the binary rpm is located. For example, using osc: osc co -r <HASH> <project> <package> will download the exact source code for the binary rpm. However, to use osc a novell.com/buildservice account is necessary. Suggested is a corresponding web interface feature where even anonymous users can download the exact corresponding source to a binary rpm. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: To make it easy for anyone with a rpm to quickly and easily download the exact corresponding source code -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311187

Feature added by: Bernhard Wiedemann (bmwiedemann) Feature #312279, revision 1 Title: OBS issuetracker integration Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Bernhard Wiedemann (bmwiedemann) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: build.opensuse.org webui should display hyperlinks to issue-trackers when seeing e.g. bnc#654321 or fate#345678 mentioned in commit messages. This allows for easier review of submit-requests. There are probably other places/clients where such links can be useful. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312279

[openFATE 306232] Quality Classification Of Projects
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #306232, revision 1, last change by Title: Quality Classification Of Projects Buildservice: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Description: A Project should get a classification, set by the project owner about the general quality. This classification should have an influence to the software search for the end user (by default he wants stable stuff, but he might also looks for latest snapshots). Possible classifications are: * STABLE -- project is considered to be ready to use for End-Users * TESTING -- project should work from point of developer view, but needs verification * DEVELOPMENT -- project is random state, it might work. * BROKEN -- project is known to be not working atm. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306232

[New: openFATE 310489] Improved diff webui interface
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #310489, revision 1 Title: Improved diff webui interface Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Description: We want to have an improved interface for showing diffs in the webui. The diff can be between different packages or revisions or from a request. The UI should show only which files have changed (can be done via requesting the md5 sums of files in the merge file list) and offer the user to show the differences between each file. We may want to show the diff between specific files by default (eg files which end with .dsc, .spec, .kiwi or .changes). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310489

[New: openFATE 310109] 3rd party web site integration support for installing/downloading software from OBS.
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 17 Apr '12

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #310109, revision 1 Title: 3rd party web site integration support for installing/downloading software from OBS. Buildservice: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Description: We lack an easy way to add a link on any 3rd party site for downloading and/or installing a package or software stack from any defined repository. There should be a simple html snippet which either loads a java script based popup or opens a small and easy to use html (without javascript) popup. The popup window should offer to select a base distro (and in best case detect it somehow) and the way for installation: * download rpm/deb * add repository * 1-Click installation via YMP * Pattern installation, if a pattern has been defined on OBS. I think we need different implementations of this snippet, because there are different kind of web designs out there. But having one with javascript popup and one without would be a great start already. The html snippet should contain also a link back to OBS and/or back to the Project in OBS. A html snippet should allow to specify: * Used project and either * * List of packages to show or install step by step or * * A pattern to install AI: adrian, create a more detailed plan in wiki Robert, it would be great to have some mockups how this could look alike -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310109

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #305907, revision 1, last change by Title: Support Update Repo Generation Buildservice: Evaluation Priority Requester: Desirable Projectmanager: Desirable Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Description: The Build Service should offer update repos as repository channel. It is unclear right now, how we will carry in the extra update information texts. This should maybe designed together with a new changelog handling. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305907

[New: openFATE 311785] release handling (in general and for maintenance incidents in special)
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #311785, revision 1 Title: release handling (in general and for maintenance incidents in special) Buildservice: New Milestone: 2.3 Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Engineering Manager: (Novell) Technical Contact: (Novell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: We have the need to manage releases in OBS. Releases in this context are entire builds, which can be tested at one place and can be moved afterwards to another place (project and/or repository). We have this need for * Maintenance releases * Factory standard -> snapshot releases * anything else ? The release target shall be defined in the repository defintion of the origin repository. For example <project name="myProject"> ... <repository name="standard"> <path.... <releasetarget project="myProject" repository="snapshot" condition="repositoryfinished|buildsuccessful|manual|maintenance" /> ... The conditions define when the release happens: * repositoryfinished: Always, after the "standard" repository finished, the releasetarget gets updated (may be usefull as "blocked" workaround). * buildsuccessful: Release only when no failed/unresolvable/broken build state exists. * manual: release on manual command by the user. * maintenance: release happens on maintenance_release accept event. The accept is also removing the condition attribute. It can be added again, in case an incident needs to get restarted/re-released. * no condition attribute: do not do anything. it is just kept to define the target (maybe this would be the manual case ?) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311785

[New: openFATE 310266] APT-Cacher for Opensuse RPM's
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 06 Apr '12

06 Apr '12

Feature added by: Matthew Collinsworth (Avanesov79) Feature #310266, revision 1 Title: APT-Cacher for Opensuse RPM's Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Matthew Collinsworth (avanesov79) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Example setup: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Apt-Cacher-Server Apt-Cacher creates a local repo on demand so it is not nesasary to download the entire repo at once. Clients using it do not need to modify thier repo addresses. The concept works as follows: A server with enough storage is setup with APT-Cacher running on it. The client PC's have a single file added to them telling them to use the APT-Cacher server as a proxy for all repo downloads. When a request is made the server checks to see if it has an up-to-date version of the package requested. If it does it feeds it along, if it doesnt it downloads it and sends it to the requesting client. It keeps the downloaded package in case another client needs it. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Apt-Cacher makes it very easy to establish a local repo on demand without needing to download the entire repo-cache at once. It also requires minimum configuration on the client PC and no reconfiguration of the clients repo sources. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310266

[New: openFATE 312544] Add ntfs to /etc/filesystems
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Feature added by: Christian Wansart (Ctwx) Feature #312544, revision 1 Title: Add ntfs to /etc/filesystems openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Christian Wansart (ctwx) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Hi there, since I still have a ntfs partition to easily share files between Windows and Linux, I had problems mounting the ntfs partition through Dolphin. First I had to add "ntfs" to /etc/filesystems to make it work with Dolphin. However, for me, it is no problem to add this line. But I have a few colleagues with now run openSUSE as well, who have no desire to manually change config files. However, they had to, to get their ntfs partition, in their case an external hard drive, running. I'd really prefer if this line could be added to the /etc/filesystems file. Thank you. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312544
