Feature added by: Johannes Meixner (jsmeix) Feature #312499, revision 1 Title: Explicit IPv6 support for YaST printer module openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Johannes Meixner (jsmeix) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently there is not any kind of special IPv6 support in yast2-printer. Currently IPv6 works only where it is compatible to IPv4 but there are cases where IPv6 needs special handling: For example the tests whether or not a remote host is accessible run "ping IP-address or hostname" which fails if IP-address is an IPv6 address because for IPv6 ping6 must be used. See bnc#697833 Unfortunately ping6 cannot be used for IPv4 addresses so that yast2-printer needs to implement special distinction of cases in particular if a hostname is given depending on whether or not this hostname has an IPv4 or IPv6 address or both. Probably there are some more special distinction of cases needed to distinguish between IPv4 and IPv6 stuff. Test Case: Use yast2-printer in an IPv6-only network. Use Case: Use yast2-printer in an IPv6 network. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Why may someone want to use IPv6? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312499

[New: openFATE 309561] Delta downloads of reposoitory metadata
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Feature added by: Michael Schröder (mlschroe) Feature #309561, revision 1 Title: Delta downloads of reposoitory metadata Requested by: Michael Schröder (mlschroe) Description: We already use deltarpms do speed up downloading of rpms when doing an update. Unfortunately, the repository metadata is also quite a chunk of data which considerably slows down update speed. The idea is to use a zsync like algorithm to fetch only the changed parts of the metadata. The implementation will use libcurl's multi interface to work with multiple connections in parallel. Another benefit is that the code can replace the aria2c interface, which does not fit well into the current code (different proxy handling and the like). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309561

[New: openFATE 312268] LibreOffice: split l10n-extras into required and optional packages

Feature added by: Petr Mladek (pmladek) Feature #312268, revision 1 Title: LibreOffice: split l10n-extras into required and optional packages Requested by: Petr Mladek (pmladek) Project Manager: (Novell) Engineering Manager: (Novell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The size of libreoffice-l10n-extras package is 15MB. Only about 5MB is important to run LO. The rest could be moved to an optional package. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Live CDs helps to promote SUSE products. This change would help to put more interesting stuff on it. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312268
