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

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

[New: openFATE 310664] package shorewall in an opensuse repository
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 06 Mar '12

Feature added by: Divan Santana (divansantana7) Feature #310664, revision 1 Title: package shorewall in an opensuse repository openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Divan Santana (divansantana7) Description: openSUSE is a great open source community linux distribution. One thing I miss which other distros have, is that the shorewall firewall packages are not available in any repositories. It would be great if shorewall was packaged and available in a repository. Yes one can install this from http://shorewall.net but it is not really the ideal way of doing things. Shorewall is a powerful easy to use high level firewall program which many use as their primary firewall program. Please could this be packaged and available in an openSUSE repo for 11.4 . -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310664

[New: openFATE 313212] add menu tree in kickoff menu search
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 06 Mar '12

Feature added by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Feature #313212, revision 1 Title: add menu tree in kickoff menu search Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: In the kickoff menu, there is a search window allowing to find an application known by it's name. But this search box do not allow to know where this application is located in the menu tree. It's probably easy, as the menu entry is found, to display the hole path in the menu tree. Use Case: Install dvdstyler. Do not know where it's located in the menu tree. Do not find in in /multimedia/editing. type dvds in the search box, see "dvdstyler" and can leunch it from there, but if was shown the exact place (multimedia/writer/dvstyler), could more easily find it nex time Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: makes it easier to understand a meny tree sometime unfriendly -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313212

Feature added by: Bas van den Dikkenberg (basd82) Feature #313280, revision 1 Title: uthash-devel Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Bas van den Dikkenberg (basd82) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Hash table and linked list for C structures This package provides uthash and utlist, C preprocessor implementations of a hash table and a linked list. It is a dev package without a source or binary package as there are only header files. Since version 1.9 uthash includes also macros for dynamic arrays and strings. I have made the package in my home dir see: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Abasd82%3Authash-devel Use Case: It used by the package burp with has exclude this external headers files from its source. In other distributions it is also a seperate package Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I think iit is used in multie projects, and that don't have to include the uthash header files in there procject and just creat a dependency -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313280

[New: openFATE 310926] LDAP Filter
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 01 Mar '12

Feature added by: Gregor Dschung (chkpnt) Feature #310926, revision 1 Title: LDAP Filter Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Gregor Dschung (chkpnt) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Two of the configuration variables for LDAP are LDAP_SEARCH_BASE and LDAP_SEARCH_ATTR. It would be nice to have an additional LDAP_SEARCH_FILTER for use cases that can't be expressed by using only LDAP_SEARCH_BASE. Use Case: Imangine the following: dn: cn=John Doe,ou=People,ou=Branch A,o=Large Corp,c=COM cn: John Doe personalTitle: M.Sc. department: IT ... There it is possible to use LDAP_SEARCH_BASE="ou=Branch A,o=Large Corp,c=COM" and LDAP_SEARCH_ATTR="cn". But what, if only people from the IT should have access to OBS? Or only guys with a Master's degree? Or both? Therefore, something like LDAP_SEARCH_FILTER="personalTitle=M.Sc.,department=IT" would be nice. https://features.opensuse.org/310925 Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I'm missing that feature. Essential for large companies. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310926
