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

Feature added by: Karl Eichwalder (keichwa) Feature #309645, revision 1 Title: Openstreetmap: Eval and document OSM related tools Requested by: Karl Eichwalder (keichwa) Description: There are many tools around the http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Main_Page (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Main_Page) project, from managing GPX files to creating customized maps. Many tools are already packaged as part of the https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=Application%3AGeo, while other tools such as http://phpmygpx.tuxfamily.org/phpmygpx.php are difficult to package, and probably just need documentation. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309645

[New: openFATE 312060] Add custom Mozplugger for Evince embeding within Firefox

Feature added by: Jared Meidal (kahu) Feature #312060, revision 1 Title: Add custom Mozplugger for Evince embeding within Firefox openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jared Meidal (kahu) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I enjoy having the open Evince program rather than acroread by default in OpenSUSE. However, for users who have formerly been familiar with the ability to open PDF files within a Firefox tab it feels unnecessary and clunky to have to download a PDF to view it. I suggest mozplugger to be added to a repository. With this customization to /etc/mozpluggerrc: application/pdf:pdf:PDF file application/x-pdf:pdf:PDF file text/pdf:pdf:PDF file text/x-pdf:pdf:PDF file repeat noisy swallow(evince) fill: evince "$file" ACROREAD() repeat noisy swallow(kpdf) fill: kpdf "$file" repeat noisy swallow(Xpdf) fill: xpdf -g +9000+9000 "$file" repeat noisy swallow(okular) fill: okular "$file" GV() repeat noisy fill exits: evince "$file" see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=5d0edf092ffc265c1c5e82539e351538&t… This will allow us to utilize Evince in a much smoother and integrated method. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312060

[New: openFATE 311316] Improve syslog daemon switch and SystemV & SystemD integration
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Feature added by: Marius Tomaschewski (mtomaschewski) Feature #311316, revision 1 Title: Improve syslog daemon switch and SystemV & SystemD integration openSUSE.org: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Marius Tomaschewski (mtomaschewski) Product Manager: (Novell) Product Manager: (Novell) Project Manager: (Novell) Project Manager: (Novell) Engineering Manager: (Novell) Engineering Manager: (Novell) Developer: (Novell) Developer: (Novell) Technical Contact: (Novell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently all syslog daemons (syslogd,rsyslog,syslog-ng) are started via /etc/init.d/syslog script and switched using the SYSLOG_DAEMON variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog . This provides a single, daemon independent, interface to the syslog service for * log rotation ( /etc/logrotate.d files just call /etc/init.d/syslog reload ), * allows programs to request additional $chroot/dev/log sockets by adding a SYSLOGD_ADDITIONAL_SOCKET<service name> variable * start klogd when the daemon needs it or skip when the syslog daemon has built-in klogd The /etc/init.d/syslog script handles the above cases, even syslogd needs e.g. the additional sockets via -a parameter while rsyslog & syslog-ng in the config file (denerated & included in main config). Because there are no conflicts between the daemon packages, this even allows the use a different daemon to handle local machine logs and a different to implement a log-host (with additional init script), when the user wishes to do it. On openSUSE-11.4, systemd that may optionally be used instead of sysvinit / upstart . We've adopted the syslog-daemons (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=656104) to support systemd socket activation [systemd.socket(5)] allowing to restart and switch between daemons without to close the sockets. We currently do not use a systemd native systemd.service(5) file, because we'd have to start it via /etc/init.d/syslog due to features listed above anyway and systemd exposes the /etc/init.d/syslog script as LSB syslog.service already. This request is to rethink all the mechanisms and improve the current syslog packages. It includes splits/changes to the syslog packages, adoption of all packages that request additional chroot sockets, adoption of yast2 modules that may configure the syslog service and systemd to provide all the functionality required to implement the systemd socket activation support in Type=forking systemd.service(5) mode as shared library and a devel package (reported as https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=656259) I consider this library as mandatory for any future changes regarding systemd socket activation, because at the moment all the required code is included inline in (at least) 3 daemons + startproc and we have to get rid of this as soon as possible. Relations: - Use systemd session manager instead of SysVinit/upstart (feature/id: 310327) - Init Systems: To System V, systemd, or upstart? (feature/id: 310421) - syslog daemon -- socket activation / systemd integration (novell/bugzilla/id: 656104) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=656104 - systemd does not provide headers / lib usable in daemons (novell/bugzilla/id: 656259) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=656259 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311316

[New: openFATE 309274] zypper: option to automatically select "keep obsolete xyz" answer
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Sep '11

Feature added by: Michal Marek (michal-m) Feature #309274, revision 1 Title: zypper: option to automatically select "keep obsolete xyz" answer openSUSE-11.3: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Michal Marek (michal-m) Description: When tracking Factory, it often happens that there is a new library A, but package B built against this new library is not available yet. zypper dup usually offers to either delete B, switch A and B from x86_64 to i586 or to not update A. I almost always chose not to update A in such cases. I want new packages, but not at any cost :-). So I'd like an option like zypper dup --fallback-keep-obsolete that would answer such questions automatically and let me review only "real" problems. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309274
