Feature added by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #311129, revision 1 Title: GNOME Plumbing Hackweek VI: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: At the GNOME UX hackfest in London last year, it was proposed to create GNOME Plumbing, a tool to easily let advanced users tweak settings in an intuitive way. There's even a mockup ready, so some coding is the last missing step. See http://www.hadess.net/2010/02/were-removing-settings-again.html The plan is to implement it :-) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311129

[openFATE 307220] Make YaST Software Management settings persistant
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 06 Oct '11

Feature added by: Dean Hilkewich (deanjo13) Feature #307220, revision 1 Title: Make YaST Software Management settings persistant openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Dean Hilkewich (deanjo13) Description: One thing I would really like to see in 11.2 is having YaST's Software Management module retain the view selections of whether or not to show the devel and / or the debug packages. In 11.1 you have to set it upon every load up of the module. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307220

[openFATE 305859] Make installation history accessible from Yast GUI
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

Feature added by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Feature #305859, revision 1, last change by Title: Make installation history accessible from Yast GUI openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Description: As there is now (since openSUSE 11.1) a way to access the history of installed packages and their dependencies, it would be very useful if this history could be accessed from the Yast GUI. In the present implementation, zypper saves the history in a file (/var/log/zypp/history) which is very obscure. The history thus shown from yast should be able to show official-updates and non-official upgrades in different categories. Use Case: 1. Install new software, software not working (or not liked), look-up history start yast, look-up history, uninstall software and installed dependencies. 2. Online update, something goes wrong (upgraded software not working or something), look-up history to see recent updates and revert (all from yast). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305859

[openFATE 306982] Create an open SLES
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 03 Oct '11

03 Oct '11

Feature added by: Stephen Shaw (decriptor) Feature #306982, revision 1 Title: Create an open SLES Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Stephen Shaw (decriptor) Description: It would be great to have something like centos but that is based off of SLES. This would give people the abililty to use openSLES (for example) and move over to SLES if needed. I believe it would help to grow our user base in the enterprise as well by allowing small companies to start and grow and later move to a supported model. I don't think we would loss customers as these are the people that probably wouldn't be buying licenses in the first place. As they grow this could completely change and they would be well positioned to buy support from Novell. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306982

So let's extend the definition for a new keyword 'locale', which will query the setting from existing locale variables (LC_PAPER, LANG or LC_ALL). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312586

Feature added by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #311347, revision 1 Title: Package gnome-schedule Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Forwarding https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=674293 As it appears there is presently no GUI based tool for job scheduling in OS 11.4 Gnome. I therefore suggest considering the addition of gnome-schedule (http://gnome-schedule.sourceforge.net/) which is not an official gnome project AFAIK, but associated close enough to be supported via bugzilla.gnome.org. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311347
