[New: openFATE 309188] Don't require keytab file for kerberos authentication

Feature added by: Todd R (TheBlackCat) Feature #309188, revision 1 Title: Don't require keytab file for kerberos authentication openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Todd R (theblackcat) Description: In openSUSE, when using kerberos it requires that a keytab file be available for things like kerberized nfs. However, not all kerberos servers are set up to provide keytabs. Someone using openSUSE cannot access these resources using kerberos at all, as far as I have been able to find out. It would be nice if openSUSE removed this requirement, or at least made it user-configurable whether to require it or not. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309188

Feature added by: Kim Leyendecker (openLHAG) Feature #312732, revision 1 Title: Article rating in our wiki openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Kim Leyendecker (openlhag) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Wikipedia is doing this for some months now, and I think, the idea behind it is really nice. See the following article and have a look to the end: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSUSE#External_links ThereÂ´s a little rating window with some criteria. I think, especially for such a technical wiki like our ones, we should enable something like this (if possible) Use Case: People can rate our articles -> We get feedback and ideas how to make our wiki better Creating a "We-feeling" -> the crowd feels addressed and to move for join the wiki team. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We get Feedback and the chance to improve our wiki. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312732

It can make our wiki more interwiki linked. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313813

[New: openFATE 314348] Improved usb installer
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 May '15

Feature added by: Michael Doris (dorism) Feature #314348, revision 1 Title: Improved usb installer openSUSE Infrastructure: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michael Doris (dorism) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: It would be great to be able to select a usb install option on the 'download' page - making it more prominent and integrated for users. I think there should be some guidance on how to boot from usb too on the site as a lot of people may not know how to do this from their bios. Use Case: The use case woudl look something like this - website offers to burn to disk, usb or provide a 'live version' - user selects option to install to usb - the user then accepts the option to download the usb installer - user launches the usb installer - usb installer launches and downloads the appropriate .iso file for that system - once downloaded it offers the option for write image to usb - users confirms and writes iso to usb Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I think this will encourage adoption since a lot of new devices don't have CD drives any more. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314348

[New: openFATE 313229] Create infrastructure to recognize user contributions
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 May '15

19 May '15

Feature added by: Robert Schweikert (rjschwei) Feature #313229, revision 1 Title: Create infrastructure to recognize user contributions openSUSE Infrastructure: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Robert Schweikert (rjschwei) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: One of the requirements of becoming a member is for the applicant to show contributions to the project. These contributions then need to get verified by the membership committee. This verification today is tedious, and we would like to have a system that makes it easy to verify contributions across the various areas of the project. In addition we would like to use the same mechanism to enable recognition of project contributions by existing members. The idea is to automatically collect data such as - submit requests to the project, possibly listed by project - packages maintained (possibly not inherited maintainership) - forum posts - ML participation - bugs filed and/or fixed - wiki edits Some general ideas can be found in this message: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2012-01/msg00390.html -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313229

[New: openFATE 313120] use a safe hashing algorithm for dvd images and rpm file headers
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 May '15

19 May '15

Feature added by: Elmar Stellnberger (estellnb) Feature #313120, revision 1 Title: use a safe hashing algorithm for dvd images and rpm file headers openSUSE Infrastructure: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Elmar Stellnberger (estellnb) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: At the moment only sha1 and md5sum are offered in the web download area of opensuse.org. However I believe that we should offer only hash values of algorithms generally considered as safe like sha256 and sha512 here whereby I would prefer sha512 as the stronger hashing method. Similarely a stronger hashing algorithm should be used to check individual files by the rpm header with rpm --verify. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313120

[New: openFATE 310710] Integrate the functionality of "fusermount -u" into umount
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 May '15

18 May '15

Feature added by: Reinhard Max (rmax) Feature #310710, revision 1 Title: Integrate the functionality of "fusermount -u" into umount openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Reinhard Max (rmax) Description: It is confusing that FUSE mount points need a different command to unmount them than everything else. Historically FUSE had to bring its own command, because traditional umount refuses umounting of mounts that are not in /etc/fstab for non-privileged users. But now that FUSE has become mainstream, I think it is time to integrate it better and get rid of the need for "fusermount -u". So my proposal is to either add the implementation of the "fusermount -u" functionality to mount, or let it execute "fusermount -u" as a subprocess for FUSE mountpoints. As root can already use umount for FUSE mount points, it probably doesn't need more than skipping the /etc/fstab test when umount is called on a FUSE mountpoint that is owned by the calling user. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310710

[New: openFATE 309320] integrate mailinglist subscription with opensuse account

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #309320, revision 1 Title: integrate mailinglist subscription with opensuse account Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Description: [I know Buildservice as product is wrong but there's no opensuse.org] With my novell/opensuse account I can use the build service, wiki, lizards, fate, hermes etc all with one login. In order to subscribe to mailinglists I have to confirm my mail address for each list individually though. It would be more user friendly to optionally allow to log into lists.opensuse.org with my account (reusing the cookie for the other services) and subscribe to lists via mouse click, without extra email verification. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309320
