[New: openFATE 308955] Thunderbird KDE integration
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

Feature added by: Peter Gumbrell (gumb) Feature #308955, revision 1 Title: Thunderbird KDE integration openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Peter Gumbrell (gumb) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Would be great if the same sort of KDE integration could be applied to Thunderbird as with Firefox and OpenOffice. The interface in general with TB3 on openSUSE 11.2 actually looks fine using the default theme, but KDE file and helper application dialogs would be a big improvement. Even better if this could be included with the 4.3.5 online update or the possible openSUSE 11.2 KDE4.4 respin that I've heard rumours of. Use Case: Take my parents, using a KDE setup but with Firefox and Thunderbird as the two main non-KDE apps installed, for whom the existing GTK file dialogs completely throw them every time they need to pick a file attachment, or to open/save attachments sent to them. It is the only place on their system where they encounter non-KDE dialogs and they are confused. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I see Thunderbird and GIMP as the two other popular, key apps having a large cross-desktop userbase that could do with better KDE integration. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308955

[New: openFATE 314560] Package Maintainer Handling
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #314560, revision 1 Title: Package Maintainer Handling Buildservice: Evaluation by project manager Milestone: 2.4 Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The goal is to have an easy interface (webui and osc) to find out the responsible person or team for a given package. The user should just be able to enter a package name or a disturl to find the right person. OBS always needs a project and package context to find the bugowner or maintainer. Therefore we need to specify a default project to search in. The following UI and workflow is suggested: UI offers just a text field beside a combo box. The combo box is set to the default marked project (eg. openSUSE:Factory). Aftwards also all maintenance_release projects shall be listed. Last but not least maybe an option to specify any other project. The UI shall check if it finds a source package container with the given name. If this fails it should search via binarie search. The returned project/package container needs to be checked for a devel area. The UI shows first defined bugowner if defined or maintainer as fall back. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Obsolete PDB. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314560

[New: openFATE 314419] Better interface for Yast services module
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

Feature added by: Sharque uddin Ahmed Farooqui (safknw) Feature #314419, revision 1 Title: Better interface for Yast services module openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sharque uddin Ahmed Farooqui (safknw) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The current services configuration module is not very user friendly, even simple mode is very confusion for the first time users. Other distributions have much better interface. We can borrow few things from other distros. Ubuntu services manager(USM) - I like the checkbox for load at start up.The interface very simple. System-config-service(SCS) - The interface is user friendly, separate tabs for background services and on demand service, large area for description and status. Windows - Shows service status in list, option for delay start of services. I think we take few things each of theme. We can use USM interface for simple mode and SCS for advanced mode. Yast is a superb control panel application but not cool, now we should make it the coolest app so OpenSuse become much more easy to use OS. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314419

[openFATE 313536] Get rid of SuSEconfig.fonts
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

Feature changed by: Petr Gajdos (pgajdos) Feature #313536, revision 23 Title: Get rid of SuSEconfig.fonts - openSUSE Distribution: Implementation + openSUSE Distribution: Done Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory Requested by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There is no point to run that code after installation of every package (and it's not run when you use zypper or 3rd party tools anyways). That code should be only run as a part of post-install of the fonts packages as only those are affected. Relations: - Remove SuSEconfig (feature/id: 100011) Discussion: #1: Petr Gajdos (pgajdos) (2012-07-03 17:13:23) Added "fontpackage" package to the M17N:fonts. fontpackage is intended to common runtime deps of every font package (e. g. /usr/share/fonts/truetype) and fontpackage-devel for buildtime dependency of every font package. fontpackage-devel contains only one file for now, which installs on /etc/rpm/macros.fonts-config. For details see osc cat M17N:fonts fontpackage rpm-macros.fonts-config Example of modified font package is M17N:fonts/xano-mincho-fonts. Could you please express your opinion on this plan? #2: Petr Gajdos (pgajdos) (2012-07-04 09:39:25) (reply to #1) After rethinking I've choosen fontpackages-runtime and fontpackages- devel. #3: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) (2012-07-06 14:37:38) I'm not a fonts expert, but looks good to me, beside one thing I don't really like: fontpackages-runtime contains only one directory. I think we should drop that package and package the directory inside of the RPMs which contains fonts. This has the big advantage, that RPM will take care of the directory itself, if the last package using it is removed. Or the directory should be added to filesystem directory, which includes already the parent directory. #4: Petr Gajdos (pgajdos) (2012-07-10 21:32:54) Ok, submitted fontpackages package into factory. sr#127540. #5: Petr Gajdos (pgajdos) (2012-07-11 13:47:20) As far as I can tell, M17N:fonts are ready for removing SUSEconfig. fonts. There are few packages using %run_suseconfig_fonts macro: 844- ksc-pcf (forgotten font package to be moved to M17N:fonts) daps fonts- config plotutils susedoc texlive-bin tv-fonts (package maybe to be moved to M17N:fonts) x3270 xmahjong xorg-x11-fonts xterm Also ghostcript-fonts package is subject to change in this regard (% run_suseconfig -m fonts). Unfortunately I can do anything until fontpackages package is in factory, so this process is blocked by license issue of our own code :- / (see declined sr#127540). Maybe we could consider to accept package as is for now and change license later (of course Novell replaced by SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany or something like that). #9: Petr Gajdos (pgajdos) (2012-08-07 08:53:26) (reply to #5) I have issued appropriate submitrequests for packages above. I didn't care about building for older distributions because I always try to not add if-suse_version-bloat when not needed. Failing build of packages can be easily fixed by adding new fontpackages (link to M17N: fonts/fontpackages) dependency into project where affected package is located. #6: Petr Gajdos (pgajdos) (2012-07-30 09:22:45) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=772595 #7: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) (2012-08-02 12:09:22) (reply to #6) "You are not authorized to access bug #772595." About what is the bug and why is access limited? #8: Petr Gajdos (pgajdos) (2012-08-02 12:17:48) (reply to #7) This is default policy for legal issues I think. I have added you to cc of this bug. #10: Petr Gajdos (pgajdos) (2012-08-08 15:17:38) Request: #130395 submit: home:pgajdos/rpm -> Base:System Message: - remove %run_suseconfig_fonts macro (openFATE#313536); new macros using fonts-config directly exist in M17N:fonts/fontpackages State: new 2012-08-08T13:33:44 pgajdos Comment: <no comment> #11: Petr Gajdos (pgajdos) (2012-08-21 12:05:19) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=773575 #12: Petr Gajdos (pgajdos) (2012-08-28 17:17:50) Request: #131876 submit: M17N/fonts-config -> openSUSE:Factory Message: - remove SuSEconfig.fonts (openFATE#313536) State: review 2012-08-28T17: 14:20 pgajdos Comment: <no comment> Review: new Group: factory-auto new Group: legal-auto -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313536
