Feature added by: matthias propst (l1zard) Feature #313145, revision 1 Title: Split out kernel documentation from kernel-source Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: matthias propst (l1zard) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Just was installing kernel-source package to get the fully documentation to the linux kernel in the the Documentation sub directory. This was also installing some kernel development packages. Would it not be better to package this information in the kernel-doc package or even better in an extra package. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313145

Feature added by: Peter Bowen (pzb) Feature #310517, revision 1 Title: DKIM and DomainKeys support openSUSE-11.4: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Peter Bowen (pzb) Description: Most of the large email service providers (gmail, yahoo, hotmail/live, aol, ...) are using DKIM checking as part of their anti-spam filtering systems. We should make it very easy for users to configure their mail server to sign mail as it goes out. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310517

by fate_noreply＠suse.de 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Feature added by: Frank Vanderham (twelveeighty) Feature #308480, revision 1 Title: Add Chromium browser to the distro openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Frank Vanderham (twelveeighty) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The Google Chromium browser is taking over most Windows users desktops. Why? Because it is a very, very good browser that most Linux users want: minimalistic, fast and open-source. What more do we want? Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Chromium is a fast, minimalistic and open-source browser that is on a LOT of Windows desktops. Not only is it a great browser to use, but if a Windows user is used to it and can't have it on openSUSE, they won't switch. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308480

Feature added by: Erik Luijten (luijten) Feature #307748, revision 1 Title: autokey Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Erik Luijten (luijten) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I very much would like the autokey package (currently only on Ubuntu) to be included in openSuSE. URL: http://autokey.sourceforge.net/ Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: There seems to be no other general keyboard macro/textexpansion utility available for Linux, even though this is an important productivity tool. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307748

[New: openFATE 309470] Add ConvertAll to repository
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Feature added by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (RGBsuse) Feature #309470, revision 1 Title: Add ConvertAll to repository Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (rgbsuse) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: ConvertAll (http://convertall.bellz.org/index.html) is not just another unit conversion tool, ConvertAll is THE unit conversion tool because it is not limited to a list of units: you can build any combination you need. >From the site: With ConvertAll, you can combine the units any way you want. If you want to convert from inches per decade, that's fine. Or from meter-pounds. Or from cubic nautical miles. The units don't have to make sense to anyone else. Use Case: Students, teachers, researchers, engineers... anyone who need to perform bizarre unit conversion on a daily basis will find this app really useful. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: ConvertAll is a really useful tiny app. Written in py-qt and ready for translation through .po files it is really easy to use and very flexible. Even if it is really easy to install, I'm not sure how many people know this app: having it on repos will help not only to promote it, but also will help many people who need it but do not know its existence. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309470

[New: openFATE 313084] Universal rpm symbol for browsers
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 06 Mar '12

Feature added by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) Feature #313084, revision 1 Title: Universal rpm symbol for browsers openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Moved from https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737105 icedtea-web should be pulled-in when browser and JRE is (or is requested to be) installed on a system. This can be solved easily: Supplements: packageand($BROWSER: java-openjdk) Which seems to be trivial, but ... short look at all packages in Productivity/Networking/Web/Browser (the first useful usage for rpm groups for me) shows me, we have 8(!) different browsers * MozillaFirefox * chromium * arora * konqueror * epiphany * reqkonq * midori * and opera fortunately we are talking about 3 (I assume konqueror now runs on webkit as well) render engines only, so it might be safe allow it for every browser. My proposal is add some universal symbol to all browser packages. I would say we can add: * one universal symbol 'browser' or browser-plugin (browser(plugin)) to distinguish between those are not capable use plugins * rendering core specific provides, so we will introduce 'gecko' (browser(gecko), 'webkit' and 'presto' (even it's not probable there will be derived browser on that engine. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313084

06 Mar '12

Feature added by: Tristan Miller (psych0naut) Feature #308435, revision 1 Title: pdftk Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Tristan Miller (psych0naut) Description: pdftk is a tool for splitting, merging, encrypting, decrypting, uncompressing, recompressing, watermarking, and repairing PDFs. It was included in openSUSE 11.1 but seems to have been dropped, with no explanation, from openSUSE 11.2. There seem to be some developers on the Build Service who have made packages, but it would be better to have it as an official package.

[New: openFATE 312452] Remastersys for Opensuse or something like that
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Feature added by: Fernando Martin (fernando_a_martin) Feature #312452, revision 1 Title: Remastersys for Opensuse or something like that Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Fernando Martin (fernando_a_martin) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Opensuse is very good, it has everything all other big distros have and much more but there's one thing I miss in it: "Remastersys". Kiwi and suse studio don't do the same. Remastersys works offline and turns your installed system into a live cd/dvd that can be ran or installed anywhere. It also has the possibility of building the live cd/dvd including personal data and configuration.I would like to carry my opensuse installation with all its configs to another places with me and to share it with others. Can anyone create something like remastersys or adapt it to opensuse? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312452
