Feature added by: Hendrik Vogelsang (hennevogel) Feature #306625, revision 1 Title: automatic email alias, irc cloak, lizards data generation on users.o.o Hackweek IV: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Hendrik Vogelsang (hennevogel) Description: To be able to maintain the list of @opensuse.org email aliases, freenode irc cloaks and lizards.o.o logins for members the openSUSE board is looking for a ruby hacker willing to implement automatic generation of aliases/cloaks in users.opensuse.org. users.o.o is a ruby on rails application. Each opensuse member has 2 email aliases (login(a)opensuse.org, forename.surname(a)opensuse.org) an freenode IRC cloak and a wordpress login to lizards.opensuse.org. At the moment this data is exported and imported manualy to the different systems. What we would need is a way to make this automatic and have the data changeable by the user. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306625

[New: openFATE 312439] spec files should support xz compressed sources per default

Feature added by: Ruediger Meier (rudi_m) Feature #312439, revision 1 Title: spec files should support xz compressed sources per default openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ruediger Meier (rudi_m) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I think it's always good to hype xz compression, so doing it here for the build system. It should be possible to use xz compressed tar balls like bz2 or gz without having "BuildRequires xz" in every spec file. Also would be nice to add a note to the packaging guidelines that xz is the preferred compression over bz2 and gz. Maybe this way xz could slowly replace gz and bz2 as default compression for package sources. Todo: We need to add xz dependency to openSUSE:Factory's prjconf (and other projects?) and update some (meta) packages, like build, ... Don't know exactly the places where to change it globally. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: 1. faster decompression than bz2 - less load on build servers 2. better compression ratio - less traffic / more speed when using osc commit, checkout, update, ... -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312439

[New: openFATE 311321] Suse Studio Live USB
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 26 Nov '11

Feature added by: a a (tremere51) Feature #311321, revision 1 Title: Suse Studio Live USB SUSE Studio: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: a a (tremere51) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There is an option called USB raw image in Suse Studio and there should be another option for Live USB Hybrid image. USB raw image is not a live system image. It just installs the distro into the usb and extremely slow. There are some reasons why we should have an option for Live USB image. 1-Because of raw image is not compressed it takes so much space than live image.(600MB iso/2800MB raw) 2-Because of raw image saves your options with persistance, it lags all time but live image is just read-only, it never lags. 3- Because of USB is slower than HDD and no hardware cache, it is not suitable for installing. It is more suitable for live image. 4- Because of Live image has compressed filesystem with cached datas in memory, programs respond very fast but in raw image programs respond very slow. Example:/ Live image with usb boots 20 seconds, programs respond very fast, no lags all time. Raw usb boots 70 seconds and programs respond very slow, lags all time. Even live cd is faster than raw usb although cd is much slower than usb. 5- With persistance we are being forced to save options in raw image. What about the people who dont want to save options? What about the people who just want to use live iso as playground? There must be some more reasons but these are enough to understand importance of Live Usb Hybrid image and differences with raw image. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311321

[New: openFATE 308360] use lockdev
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 Nov '11

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #308360, revision 1 Title: use lockdev openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Description: Ever since resmgr was dropped there is no way for unprivileged users to lock a device file such as /dev/ttyS0 even if the user has access to the device. A similar problem exists for usb devices in /dev/bus/usb. RedHat uses lockdev to solve the problem. It's a setgid 'lock' binary that manages the lock files. /var/lock is writeable by group 'lock' only. To be really useful the lockdev code needs to be cleaned up so a library is used to call the 'lockdev' helper binary. That way rpm would automatically catch the dependency. Any program accessing serial ports or usb devices as user could make use of lockdev, e.g. libgphoto2 minicom ppp sane-backends screen uucp ...

[New: openFATE 312834] connect need to aloow uploading of videos

Feature added by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Feature #312834, revision 1 Title: connect need to aloow uploading of videos openSUSE Infrastructure: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: We need to have a connect with enough features. Uploading videos is very important, because no other place fits our needs. Videos have to be downloadable by the user (optionnally), have a known licence (CC-BY would be great, -SA acceptable) can be done with very restrictive forat allowed (suffice to give the ffmpeg command line to get the video to the right format). We need also a place to store videos in mpeg dvd format, but probably not in connect. Connect is good for web capable video. html5 recommended -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312834

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #312155, revision 1 Title: obs bugzilla link Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There should be a way to link obs and bugzilla so it's possible to e.g. display the open bugs in the obs web interface or provide direct links to report bugs. I'd think of e.g. attributes at project level that define the bugzilla instance and bugzilla product. An attribute at package level could specify the bugzilla component for the package (if different from package name). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312155
