Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #313500, revision 1 Title: allow to combine modalias and packageand openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Userspace drivers often do not make sense to have installed without the subsystem using them. E.g. - X drivers without X - sane backends without sane - cups filters without cups Therefore using modalias for such driver packages may either be useless or may cause undesired installation of other packages. Modaliases on X drivers for example would cause installation of X in the Minimal installation that is specifically intended to be without X. We therefore need a way to combine "packageand" and "modalias" supplements. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313500

[New: openFATE 313457] IP address management options for duplicate IP

Feature added by: John Harmon (joharmon) Feature #313457, revision 1 Title: IP address management options for duplicate IP Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: John Harmon (joharmon) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: If serverA has IP Address 192.168.1.1 and is powered down, and serverB is configured with the same IP address, then when both serverA and B are running there can be issues. While, admittedly, this is an Administrative issue, the customer would like to see a way to do one of the following: 1. If, when the network is coming up, the ip address is bound already on another box, prevent this server from loading/binding the configured IP address (although I can see this as a security issue). 2. Bind a default address 3. Get a DHCP address and once the system is up email the admin with the problem -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313457

[New: openFATE 313435] Bring the old Package Finder on opensuse.org

Feature added by: gabriel byrne (assas1n) Feature #313435, revision 1 Title: Bring the old Package Finder on opensuse.org openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: gabriel byrne (assas1n) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Some time ago, the library or package finder on opensuse.org was changed. The new version is too confusing to use, needing several unncesary clicks here and there. Plus, its a pain trying to find libraries or packages made by common users. Also, the link pointing to those users repositories is gone, making the task of installing user made packages a hasle. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313435

[New: openFATE 310380] grub2 bootonce or bootnext command
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 09 May '12

09 May '12

Feature added by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Feature #310380, revision 1 Title: grub2 bootonce or bootnext command openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Description:  With the possibility of Grub2 being implemented soon as a default boot manager, it would be useful to add to the Grub2 packaging a small script that fully emulates the older grubonce that is provided with openSUSE-11.3 and earlier. The philosophy is from run level 3, or from a desktop that does not support the capability to selectively reboot ONCE (and only ONCE) into another boot partition, one can run a command that allows this one time reboot functionality. This was achieved with the "grubonce" command on openSUSE-11.3 (and earlier) and other distributions (for the older grub version) used perl scripts such as bootnext (on Fedora: http://www.dcheng.members.sonic.net/friends/jspaar/pub/bootnext/ ). There is an example here on openSUSE forums as to the utility of the grubonce command and how it can be applied: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/information-new-users/unreviewed-how-faq… The grub2-reboot command is lacking (in comparison to grubonce) in that it appears it can not be used to generate the re-boot selection menu. Hence I propose a small script/application be provided with openSUSE-11.4 (or 12.0) that functions similar to the scripts proposed in http://forums.opensuse.org/english/information-new-users/unreviewed-how-faq… or as a minium functions with the full capability of the "grubonce" (which grub2-reboot lacks). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310380

[openFATE 306928] Better integration of YaST webpin client into openSUSE
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 09 May '12

09 May '12

Feature added by: Katarina Machalkova (kmachalkova) Feature #306928, revision 1 Title: Better integration of YaST webpin client into openSUSE Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Katarina Machalkova (kmachalkova) Description: <p><a href="http://hedgehogpainter.livejournal.com/#asset-hedgehogpainter-4686">YaST webpin client</a> is done and usable since quite some time already, yet its integration into platform is far from being smooth. openSUSE users have very few chances to learn about it in order to use it. This feature consists of two parts:<ul> <li> Webpin search client will be accessible and launchable from menu entry, added to Qt/Gtk/Ncurses package selectors </li><li> New package yast2-packager-webpin will be splitted off yast2-packager, containing webpin module, client + additional .desktop file </li></ul>The purpose of the latter is not to clutter YaST control centre with too many icons, installed along with yast2-packager (which is in default installation). This way, user will get extra icon only if yast2-packager-webpin</p> -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306928

[New: openFATE 313455] Localonly source service runs from webui
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 08 May '12

Feature added by: Claudio Freire (klaussfreire) Feature #313455, revision 1 Title: Localonly source service runs from webui Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Claudio Freire (klaussfreire) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The WebUI should have a way to mark services as "mode=localonly", trigger their execution in the WebUI itself, and commit back the results. When uploading files from a URL, a checkbox should be included to mark the upload as a one-time operation, which would use this mechanism (localonly source service and WebUI-based run). Test Case: vegastrike-data Use Case: Packages with huge sources, big enough to be a hassle for low-bandwidth connections, aimed at Factory which forbids use of remote-enabled source services. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Some packages, especially games, contain massive amounts of data in their tarballs. Uploading them requires a very good connection, and is sometimes difficult for the packager. Source services are great for this, because they make the build hosts download instead of the packager, which have a massively better connection, but by policy some projects (notably Factory) don't allow them. In fact, it's quite unnecessary to download the same sources every time. Source services marked "localonly" allow OBS to specify the one-time download of sources, but the results have to be committed by the packager, which sometimes lacks a good enough connection. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313455
