Feature added by: Jeremy Thornton (leebrad) Feature #310530, revision 1 Title: Ease of install like Ubuntu openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jeremy Thornton (leebrad) Description: I would like to see the same installation flexibility for SUSE as is available for Ubuntu. SUSE uses a wonderfully polished installer, however, the following features are either missing or I am not informed on how to use the following, which I think would be a great addition to SUSE distro and suse studio for the average or even small business user. 1. Install option as a Windows Application like Ubuntu; and, 2. Install easily onto a USB drive using utilities like Ubuntu and Fedora provide; 3. Create the SUSE Studio to look like the installer so that it easier to choose packages as if you were actually installing SUSE and then add the additional customizations needed. 4. Provide a backup utility like remastersys that works on SUSE providing a rebuild of a live cd for backup or distribution to friends, family, or colleagues. I think these 4 implementations would increase the flexibility of SUSE installations, customization, and distribution. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310530

[New: openFATE 310724] netsniff-ng

Feature added by: Daniel Borkmann (danborkmann) Feature #310724, revision 1 Title: netsniff-ng Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Daniel Borkmann (danborkmann) Description: netsniff-ng is is a free, performant Linux network sniffer for packet inspection. The gain of performance is reached by 'zero-copy' mechanisms, so that the kernel does not need to copy packets from kernelspace to userspace. For this purpose netsniff-ng is libpcap independent, but nevertheless supports the pcap file format for capturing, replaying and performing offline-analysis of pcap dumps. Furthermore we are focussing on building a robust, clean and secure analyzer and utilities that complete netsniff-ng as a support for penetration testing. netsniff-ng can be used for protocol analysis, reverse engineering and network debugging. http://netsniff-ng.org -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310724

Feature added by: Shashank Sondhi (dreamtrip) Feature #312081, revision 1 Title: Global Menu Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Shashank Sondhi (dreamtrip) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Global Menu is a GNOME and KDE plugin making great waves in the ubuntu circa. If it were ported to openSUSE then the Mac look and feel aspect could be furthered and the desktop of openSUSE could receive a face-lift possibility which is very very user-friendly. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312081

It deserves to be better known. I would like to see it in the main openSuSE oss repo.

[New: openFATE 311442] A OneNote compatible tool is needed

Feature added by: Greg Freemyer (gregfreemyer) Feature #311442, revision 1 Title: A OneNote compatible tool is needed Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Greg Freemyer (gregfreemyer) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: One of tools I still need almost daily from a Windows perspective is OneNote. My company has adopted it as a note taking standard for internal projects. It is part of the Microsoft Office suite. Until a linux/opensuse/libreoffice/kde solution is provided, I have to rdesktop into a Windows machine to work with OneNote files. Note that I need a tool that allows collaboration with MS OneNote users, not a new tool that offers OneNote like functionality, but not OneNote on disk compatibility. That is OneNote is in part a collaboration tool that allows multiple simultaneous users to open a notebook. (Assuming the notebook is on a fileserver / share.) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311442

[New: openFATE 312475] Linux administrative toolkit
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 06 May '15

Feature added by: Sławomir Lach (Lachu) Feature #312475, revision 1 Title: Linux administrative toolkit Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Sławomir Lach (lachu) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Create Linux administrative toolkit to provide multiple distribution administrative tool. This set should contains cli, cui and gui tools. Also prepare documentation of usability to help creating similar tools. Also add metapackage to install each tool from this set. Use Case: Alex is a student. On school he learn Common Linux administrative tool. He will install it on future work and won't teach a new administrative tools when changing work, etc. Peter works as repairer of computers. He will use the same administrative tools on each computer, so he offer to work only if user allow to install it. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Actually Fedora with other teams creating tools like PackageKit, PolicyKit, etc. That's great idea but some distribution have own administrative tools, so don't ships fedora's tool. Linux have some problems on accessing to school markets and allow to accessing some services, because no one set of administrative tools are existing. We have many tools, like smart, Yast, PackageKit, etc. but no promotional action, no set of this tool and no way to install it by few clicks. To make Linux market bigger we need push Linux into schools, but we need one popular set of tools to manage Linux desktop/server. Teachers can't believe students will use the same distribution on work or home, so Linux isn't popular in schools. I also in school teach Ubuntu and Fedora. On high-school i works on Debian. In home in only uses OpenSUSE. When administrator, student or teacher would install one common for many distributions administrative set of tools via one click employers would have less trouble with finding Linux administrators. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312475

Feature added by: Ralf Lang (ralflangb1) Feature #312776, revision 1 Title: Recent PHPUnit Test Ssuite openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ralf Lang (ralflangb1) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The currently available version of phpunit is old and essentially bitrot. The distribution model has changed to pear. I am in the process of adding the current phpunit suite and its dependencies to factory. Use Case: Building a PHP CI environment with Jenkins and PHPUnit Testing software during development Regression testing when providing suse patches for php software. Building susestudio appliances with test suite already included, Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Make openSUSE a more serious platform for web developers. Developers should not have to resort to 3rd party packages and non-distribution channels like pear to have recent but stable versions of their tools. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312776
