Feature added by: Divan Santana (divansantana7) Feature #310701, revision 1 Title: package byobu in an opensuse repository openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Divan Santana (divansantana7) Description: Would be great if anyone using opensuse could zypper in byobu . Unfortunately it's not in any opensuse repo despite it being a great tool for administrating linux servers. I'm quite surprised this isn't already available for opensuse. Would be a nice addition for 11.4 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310701

Feature added by: Algimantas B (algyzas) Feature #308445, revision 1 Title: Tor is not working out of box Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Algimantas B (algyzas) Description: Let's say I installed tor, it is came alone, without privoxy. One should download it manually. And then if I try :~> screen torify konqueror hich: no tsocks in (/home/senis/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin:.) /usr/bin/torify: Can't find tsocks in PATH. Perhaps you haven't installed it? [screen is terminating] There is a guide http://en.opensuse.org/Privoxy_tor_squid how to setup it, I'll try it, but in some other distributions it works out of box like this. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308445

[New: openFATE 309627] Enhance 'Safely Remove' to spin-down and power-off usb HDDs

Feature added by: Pete Clayson (Olmy) Feature #309627, revision 1 Title: Enhance 'Safely Remove' to spin-down and power-off usb HDDs openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Pete Clayson (olmy) Description: 'Safely remove' should (as far as possible) allow for genuine safe removal of all media. Under certain other OSs, the 'safely remove' option on usb devices will... 1/ On usb pen drive with a power/activity led, switch it off (trivial nicety, but reassuring). 2/ On usb HDDs, spin down the disk and power off. This seems more important. There is some discussion about this, for example, http://elliotli.blogspot.com/2009/01/safely-remove-usb-hard-drive-in-linux.… (http://elliotli.blogspot.com/2009/01/safely-remove-usb-hard-drive-in-linux.…) I know that the latest version of Ubuntu does this and there is a script offered in the above link. However, the script, as it stands and run on my installation of OpenSUSE, does not seem to work (in the same way as WinXP or Ubuntu, anyway - my WD600D036 disk does not power off) despite the positive messages in verbose mode. Perhaps this is the CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND option mentioned? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309627

[New: openFATE 311089] Disable system bell by default if sound card is installed

Feature added by: Pieter De Decker (pdedecker) Feature #311089, revision 1 Title: Disable system bell by default if sound card is installed openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Pieter De Decker (pdedecker) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: One of the first things I do after installing openSUSE is disabling the system bell by adding this to ~/.inputrc: set bell-style none Its volume is needlessly high. The bell scares the hell outta me whenever it creeps up because I backspaced too much on the command line. My suggestion: disable the system bell by default, unless no sound card is installed. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It's a simple fix for something that has been bugging me forever. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311089

[openFATE 308182] Create administrator tool for replicating OBS resources
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #308182, revision 1 Title: Create administrator tool for replicating OBS resources Buildservice: Evaluation Priority Requester: Desirable Projectmanager: Desirable Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Description: A tool for replicate defined projects from a remote OBS instance to a local instance would be helpfull. This should offer different levels of replication depth: * Just latest sources or including past source history (maybe with a date limiter) * Replicate binaries for :full tree ( to be able to bootstrap yourself ) or all binaries from package directories. The tools would be helpfull as CLI and/or as part of the admin web frontend. The remote instance should be access via the frontend api, while the local instance must be accessed via backend source and rep server (+ local frontend api for creating projects and packages). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308182

[New: openFATE 310652] Have an Etherpad install on openSUSE infrastructure
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 28 Mar '18

28 Mar '18

Feature added by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Feature #310652, revision 1 Title: Have an Etherpad install on openSUSE infrastructure openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently the marketing team in particular makes use of lots of piratepad's to work collaboratively on articles, announcements, plans and other things. Wiki's don't offer the ease and real-time collaboration features needed so piratepad is perfect. Except that it isn't. Piratepad has some serious issues (see "Why do we want this?"). So we would like to have an Etherpad install on openSUSE infrastructure. Having our 'own' Etherpad instance on an openSUSE server would solve these issues. Even just having it as a SUSE Studio virtual image so it can be run somewhere would be good enough. In general, the openSUSE servers are pretty dependable and even when not, we know who to ping to solve problems. Use Case: Usecase would be pretty much half the work the marketing team does - writing announcements, articles, planning... Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: The current 'solution' to use Piratepad has a bunch of issues: Stability is a big one - Piratepad is down quite frequently, sometimes for a whole day, making our work difficult. Another serious issue is oversight. We can't see what pads we have, resulting in lost pads (and the work we put into them) and duplication of efforts. Then there is the lack of control. All piratepads are fully public - but we have sometimes things we'd like to keep under the lid like announcements we are working on, articles, board things etcetera. Etherpad provides access control which would help us immensely. Part of that control issue is the ability (or lack there off) of deleting pads - we can't do that on Piratepad. Finally, we don't OWN Piratepad. If it went away RIGHT NOW, we would loose MANY important articles, announcements and other good work. It would be a small disaster for the marketing team and it's getting potentially worse as we do more and more work on Etherpad. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310652

[New: openFATE 308899] allow repository specification in project meta xml
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 27 Feb '18

27 Feb '18

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #308899, revision 1 Title: allow repository specification in project meta xml Buildservice: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Description: We have currently to set Type, Repotype and Patterntype in project conf data. That makes it hard to add an images repo easily with a gui that works. Before creating code interpreting the prjconf, I would like to suggest to extend repository xml element to define this as default. Opinions ? Feature is completed when we have an "Add kiwi images repository" button. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308899

Feature added by: Jimmy Berry (boombatower) Feature #308619, revision 1 Title: Provide Kwallet integration for Firefox openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jimmy Berry (boombatower) Description: I have wanted such a feature for sometime and recently discoved https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/49357 via identi.ca talk. Since openSUSE 11.2 includes KDE integration for Firefox, I think this would be a great thing to either add/finish/polish or just defaultly include as part of integration. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308619
