Gnome2 has forked now in to Mate DE https://github.com/Perberos/Mate-Desktop-Environment , so i think that beside a kde3 repo, a Mate repo for Gnome2 users of openSUSE is needed. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: The Mate repo can be used by users who cant run Gnome3 or for users that don`t like Gnome3 bu still like Gnome2, old school look. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312946

[New: openFATE 310963] Make openSUSE releases with more life time than 18 months.
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 03 Feb '15

Feature added by: Rafael Belmonte (EagleScreen) Feature #310963, revision 1 Title: Make openSUSE releases with more life time than 18 months. openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Rafael Belmonte (eaglescreen) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: It would be nice if OpenSUSE would make special releases which have much life time than 18 months, as like as Ubuntu does with its LTS releases. Ubuntu release a LTS version each two years, and they have five years of support, updates, and repository life. OpenSUSE could adopt a similar policy about this. Believe me, many people love to can install an OS and not have to touch it in years, and this is a main reason about why I deploy Ubuntu LTS releases in some systems instead of OpenSUSE. Use Case: Robert call to his nephew, Richard, and request him to install Linux in his computer. Richard thinks in OpenSUSE as first choice, but when Richard tells Robert that OpenSUSE will expire in 18 months, Roberts ask Richard to install another distribution with more Life-time, because Robert is scared about facing an OS upgrade or installation, and Richard won't be in the country at that date. Mary wants to install a GNU/Linux distribution for the computer she uses in her business, she dudes about to install OpenSUSE or Ubuntu, and after thinking a few time about it, she decides to install Ubuntu LTS because she won't need to upgrade or reinstall the OS until four years, which is much comfortable for her situation. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: 18 months of support is not always enough for many users. Many people hates having to upgrade or install a new OS each 18 months. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310963

An option like this would be amazing in opensuse, if we want more users. =) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312551

Make it easy for developers to release an application 2. Make it easy for developers to market and for users to learn about that application 3. Make it easy for users to install the application Project Bretzn consists of three parts: the building of the package, the publishing of the application, the marketing to the users and the feedback cycle back to the developer. The building part consists of plugins for IDEâs and integration with Build Services and using Lubos Lunakâs OBS Generator (yes, still looking for a new name ) to automatically generate cross-platform build files. Publishing sends the app to a variety of App Stores and then markets it through announcing it on Facebook, Twitter, via a RSS feed and the Social Desktop . Finally, users can provide feedback by rating the application and commenting on it, by writing bug reports and send messages to mailing lists or forums. And all of that with one click (well, maybe a few more). Status (as of Linuxtag 2011): http://www.slideshare.net/karlitschek/project-betzn-linuxtag-2011 This sounds like the kind of thing we want! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312468

[openFate 305099] please have yast do a fsck before attempting to mount existing filesystems
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

Feature added by: Arvin Schnell <aschnell(a)novell.com> Feature #305099, revision 1, last change by Title: please have yast do a fsck before attempting to mount existing filesystems openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Per Jessen <per.jessen(a)enidan.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I was doing a new install, but wanted to keep my /home filesystem (JFS). No problem, except that the filesystem wasn't clean and needed an fsck. As far as I can tell, yast didn't do this, so mounting of the /home filesystem failed, which caused the entirely installation process to abend and start over. Discussion: #1: Stefan Hundhammer <sh(a)novell.com> (2008-02-21 06:26:43) I'd really hate to have my 100+ GB ext3 partitions fscked. That takes forever. #2: Per Jessen <per.jessen(a)enidan.com> (2008-02-21 07:15:33) Even when they're clean? It's done on every bootup anyway. See /etc/init.d/boot.localfs #3: Jozef Uhliarik <juhliarik(a)novell.com> (2008-02-21 08:21:41) What is your opinion Thomas? #4: Thomas Fehr <fehr(a)novell.com> (2008-02-21 08:24:13) That would need an feature request, not a bug report. #6: Stephan Kulow <coolo(a)novell.com> (2008-02-21 12:04:27) I think it's not too uncommon that people reinstall their system _because_ the old one had a problem, so dirty file systems may not be too uncommon. #7: Thomas Fehr <fehr(a)novell.com> (2008-02-25 03:00:03) What the customer described happens on JFS, this is an unsupported filesystem exactly for the reason that it behaves quite fundamentally different to most other filesystems. Filesystems like ext3 or reiser simply do their log reply when they are dirty and all is fine. So if you want such things to be added, please specify it as a feature request. Since there needs to be an interactive user interface to the filesystem check program this is in no way a simple change. Or would you prefer for example do a rebuild of reiserfs internal tree as default without asking the user first? Problem is that the questions the filesystem check tools ask the user are quite special and of course totally different for different filesystem types. #8: Duncan Mac-Vicar <dmacvicar(a)novell.com> (2008-07-17 08:13:00) I happen to suffer from this bug too once. I think the bug is not that the installation cleans the disk, but at least say that is not clean instead of crashing (in my case it was an installation where yast thought the disk was mounted but it was not) #9: Arvin Schnell <aschnell(a)novell.com> (2008-07-17 08:22:23) No time for 11.1. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305099

[New: openFATE 312919] Provide a package for Desura in non-OSS

Feature added by: Audard Guillaume (AGui) Feature #312919, revision 1 Title: Provide a package for Desura in non-OSS openSUSE 12.1: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Audard Guillaume (agui) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Desura is a video game store, competitor of Steam, which provides many Indie games for Linux and Windows. See www.desura.com They released recently a client for Linux (both 32bits and 64bits), and it could be added to the non-OSS repository. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Currently, it is quite difficult to install games which are not in the repositories and for which there are not rpms, such as most of the ones in the Humble Bundles. With Desura, you can purchase and install games easily, and it also manages updates. Most indie game developpers don't provide a repository for openSUSE, so you would have to track their website to get updates. For now, to install Desura, you have to go on their website, download a .tar.gz archive, extract it and launch a program in a console. Having it in the repositories would ease the installation for most users. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312919

[New: openFATE 309059] source repository cleanup mechanism

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #309059, revision 1 Title: source repository cleanup mechanism Buildservice: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Description: Every ever uploaded source file is currently still part of source server. This hurts esp. when scripts upload daily new svn/git/.. snapshots as tar balls. This will more often happen when the source service mechanisms wil be more often used. We shall implement a mechanism to list and remove not anymore referenced files in any source revision files. This might be implemented in bs_admin or alike tool for the admin on the server. But it must be race free to allow working with currently running source servers. (maybe via giving the source server a signal to store .rev files on remove in an additional path. This interacts with the undelete features). We should also have a mechanism to shorten a revision log (unclear who and when should be allowed to do this). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309059

Feature added by: Ciro Iriarte (ciriarte) Feature #308967, revision 1 Title: Allow Oracle Instant Packages Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ciro Iriarte (ciriarte) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Include Oracle Instant Client in openSUSE or at least, allow for creation and store in Build Service. This was attempted before but all the work was lost because the files were deleted from OBS. The InstantClient can be redistributed and it doesn't require any license to be used, the only issue is that it doesn't include source code. This can be handled like Sun's Java or Adobe Acrobat.

[New: openFATE 309036] Add checkbox to yast2-dns-server whether to use NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="bind" or not
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

Feature added by: Marius Tomaschewski (mtomaschewski) Feature #309036, revision 1 Title: Add checkbox to yast2-dns-server whether to use NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="bind" or not openSUSE-11.3: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Marius Tomaschewski (mtomaschewski) Description: Currently, yast2-dns-server always enables and makes use of the netconfig NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="bind" feature and writes the recursive forwarder name servers specified by the user to NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS (same nameserver list as in yast2-dns). This configures, that the locally running bind is used as forwarder for the system (glibc) and the bind is using the specified name servers as forwarders and allows netconfig (by default, but it depends on NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY) to update the forwarders list via netconfig with dynamic settings, e.g. from DHCP or PPP. This behavior is usually OK, and the user can disable the updates with the DHCP/PPP/... nameservers by NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY="STATIC" instead of "auto". But currently, yast2-dns-server does not allow to configure forwarders for e.g. non-recursive, (authorative only) name server serving some zones, without to act as forwarder/recursive name server for the local system (glibc, /etc/resolv.conf), that may use another forwarders (netconfig). To allow above configuraion, it would be required to add a checkbox to disable the current behavior and instead: * Set NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="resolver" * Write the forwardes list directly into the /etc/named.d/forwarders.conf * Call "netconfig update -m dns" (when it fails, ask the user whether to force and call "netconfig update -m dns -f") To enable current behavior again: * Reset/truncate the /etc/named.d/forwarders.conf ("cp /dev/null forwarders.conf") * Set NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="bind" * Write the forwardes list to NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS * Call "netconfig update -m dns" (when it fails, ask the user whether to force and call "netconfig update -m dns -f") Relations: - Bug 576759 - yast dns vs. dns-server is poorly designed (feature/id: 576759) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309036

Feature added by: Martin Schlander (cb400f) Feature #307255, revision 1 Title: Less scary yast conflict dialogs openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Martin Schlander (cb400f) Description: The YaST2 sw_single dialog for conflicts, vendor change, architecture change etc. is very scary for many users. The dialog asks the user to select one of usually three offered solutions for each problem without giving much help. This is a cause for many complaints, and contributes to myths of RPM dependency hell still existing today. Zypper on the other hand, does things differently. Zypper will select an action for the user, then informs the user of the changes that will be made, and asks a Yes or No question whether the user wishes to proceed or not. I suggest to implement behaviour similar to zypper in the YaST dialog. However, the old functionality of letting the user select a solution manually for each individual problem should probably be kept, as a "hidden" expert/advanced option in the dialog. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307255

While reading the documentation for UEFI firmware I noticed that the bootloader has to be a UEFI application. In order to support this new hardware we need a bootloader that supports UEFI booting, GRUB legacy as far as I know doesn't support this. I think it's time to retire GRUB legacy and use GRUB2, elilo or rEFIt (though this one is a long shot). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311043

This makes the usage of projects like the SP projects very hard because people need to check all project pages to find their packages. I think we should offer a method in api to list all packages containing the information from which projects they come originally. webui should use it to display the packages, but it should make clear which package comes from which project.

A user who wants help for GDM should have a simple way how to access chapter 1.1 "Logging In" of the gnome user guide. Same for KDE. A universal implementation would not be specific to GDM/KDM. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: GDM sometimes shows menues at the bottom, sometimes not. A user needs these menus to e.g. switch between KDE and GNOME. The logic, when these menues appear is well documented in GNOME user guide. Having the relevant chapter handy, helps logging in and generally improves usability of the system. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309930

A lot of python bindings now support python 3. However, although openSUSE has provided python 3 for a while, it provides few, if any, python 3 versions of packages. My suggestion is that python 2 be kept the default, but for python packages and bindings that support it, python 3 versions should be made available as well. I think the python in the name would be replaced by python3, so in additiona to python-numpy there would be python3-numpy, for example. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310780

Previously on 11.4, the installer would accept the unlock key and then format the LUKS container to its own default (at the time I think 256bit aes-xts-something), which is overkill for a netbook, and may not be user-desirable. OpenSuSE 12.1 doesn't do this, honoring the LUKS setup that already exists, but nevertheless, being able to choose the bit strength and encryption type (such as aes-cbc-essiv, etc) would be nice. I would be willing to provide any help documentation for a "help" or "what is this?" button on this section (and it could be made part of the "custom (for experts)" section of disk partitioning.

Feature added by: Hawke Robinson (kmleon) Feature #310623, revision 1 Title: Please bring SCPM back to Suse openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Hawke Robinson (kmleon) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: SCPM is one of the major components (among others) for why I prefer to use Suse over other distros. I use SCPM for changing many configuration values for hardware and software cleanly, through one tool, instead of dozens, between when plugged into very different docking stations between work and home, when at home undocked, when roaming at coffee shops, when locked down for work or client sites, when broadcasting live shows at various locations, or when setting up different hardware profiles with different components connected and keeping the configuration consistent for that profile, printers, firewall rules, etc. Networkmanager only handles the networking aspect (and poorly at that, especially for devices that require using if-up mode, and not network manager (driver bugs)). Other tools only handle the configuration values for their own domains of responsibilty, and do not keep a single profile with all the many variables, easily in one place, and easily switched either on the fly or at boot time. This tool has been a huge boon to being far more productive over other distros. Please consider adding this back to 11.3, and keeping it for future releases. I am even willing to become a maintainer for this package if no one more qualified steps up to do so. I will try the information for the 11.2 repo kludge, but please advise on how the suse decision makers can be encouraged to bring scpm back. Thanks! Use Case: Mobile user (laptop, portable device, or full PC that is moved to different locations) with one kind of docking station or port replicator at home, and a completely different docking-station or port replicator at work, beign able to easily switch all the hardware, network, firewall, monitor(s), printers, and other software and hardware values at boot time between home and work. Mobile user that has very different security settings and hardware settings between home setup, work setup, and different clients when on-site. variables include network, firewall, antivirus, fileshares, sound cards, external video cards, monitor(s), printers, virtual machine configurations, DNS, hosts files, email server settings, sshd settings, ftpd settings, the list of variables served through one profile tool is extremely extensive. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: The wonderful flexibility of so many variables being able to be easily tracked on the fly from one utility is extremely valuable for mobile use. Networkmanager only handles the networking aspect (and poorly at that, especially for devices that require using if-up mode, and not network manager (driver bugs)). Other tools only handle the configuration values for their own domains of responsibilty, and do not keep a single profile with all the many variables, easily in one place, and easily switched either on the fly or at boot time. This tool has been a huge boon to being far more productive over other distros. Without SCPM support, Suse becomes that much more "just another same/similiar Linux distro", and looses another distinctive benefit over other distros for me, and for all my clients. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310623

Feature added by: Richard Bos (rbos) Feature #307846, revision 1 Title: Kolab groupware server support by openSUSE openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Richard Bos (rbos) Description: Kolab (http://kolab.org) is a free and open software groupware solution. It allows seamless support of mixed clients environments (Outlook/KDE/Web). The following functionality is provided by kolab; groupware (free/busy information), email, spam and virus filtering, a webinterface for the system administrator and end user. The web interface can be used to add, modify and remove users, domains, distributions list, shared folders, among other things. Kolab is build from only open source software, and the data it stores is freely available by the end user. This means that if the end user is not satisfied with the provided service delivered by the service provider, the end user can retrieve his or her data and move it to somewhere else. The Kolab groupware server is assembled with postfix, cyrus, amavis, openldap, apache among other open source projects. Due to its design the kolab server supports multiple domains and thousands of end users. Clients that can be used with Kolab groupware server are for example KDE's kontact, horde, MS Outlook in combination with a connector. Kolab for openSUSE has been available for a long time already, but it was always necessary to patch multiple projects to provide all (groupware) functionality. Since September 2009, it is only necessary to extend cyrus with some patches to get the required functionality. Hence in order to have Kolab working on openSUSE cyrus must be patched. The patched cyrus version can be retrieved from the build service. Kolab is it worth to be supported by openSUSE as it is composed of only open source software, it supports thousands of end users, and very unique end users have full control over all their data including their groupware information! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307846

Have Evolution, when connecting to a Gmail account, offer the option to also connect the users' calendars (providing a list of calendars they can choose from) as well as sync their contacts. If Google tasks are likewise available, offer to include those as well. This would supply the closest equivalent to the ease of setting up Outlook and Exchange. Use Case: Bob is a developer doing some work on his own and wants something similar to work's Exchange server/Outlook setup. He has a Google account and uses multiple calendars for different activities (personal, school, work, events, club, etc.). He wants to quickly set up his Google account as his "Exchange" (mail, calendar, contacts). Months later, he gets a Netbook to travel to client's sites with for demonstration purposes. He wants to have the same Evolution setup on the netbook but doesn't want to have to set each piece again by hand. The following year he decides to get a more powerful and updated laptop, and wants to set up his Evolution again without having to set up each piece all over again. The next version of openSUSE is released and he decides to do a clean install rather than an update. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: 1. Provides the easiest "Exchange-like" situation for Linux. 2. Provides an easy way to connect Evolution to Google for multiple machines, new machines and after upgrades. 3. Provides a framework that could be used for other Services if there is a need. 4. Help less-technical users get up-and-running quickly and easily. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310147
