Feature added by: Steffen Klein (sklein7) Feature #311077, revision 1 Title: Themeing (SuSE-Elegant?) openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Steffen Klein (sklein7) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Hi What about changing the Default-Theme to SuSE-Elegant from Cristian Rodriguez? See http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/SuSE+Elegant?content=117251 + the there mentioned links for the look. At least providing a package for simple change of the various grub/boot/kdm/kde-screens would be neat. Regards, Steffen Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It might be a matter of taste, but I think it looks way cooler and more modern than the default greenish look while still providing a SuSE-specific style. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311077

[New: openFATE 308955] Thunderbird KDE integration
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 31 Oct '12

Feature added by: Peter Gumbrell (gumb) Feature #308955, revision 1 Title: Thunderbird KDE integration openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Peter Gumbrell (gumb) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Would be great if the same sort of KDE integration could be applied to Thunderbird as with Firefox and OpenOffice. The interface in general with TB3 on openSUSE 11.2 actually looks fine using the default theme, but KDE file and helper application dialogs would be a big improvement. Even better if this could be included with the 4.3.5 online update or the possible openSUSE 11.2 KDE4.4 respin that I've heard rumours of. Use Case: Take my parents, using a KDE setup but with Firefox and Thunderbird as the two main non-KDE apps installed, for whom the existing GTK file dialogs completely throw them every time they need to pick a file attachment, or to open/save attachments sent to them. It is the only place on their system where they encounter non-KDE dialogs and they are confused. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I see Thunderbird and GIMP as the two other popular, key apps having a large cross-desktop userbase that could do with better KDE integration. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308955

So maybe we can make this the default icon theme for 11.3 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308383

[New: openFATE 311312] YaST installation with a preview of changes / changelog on demand
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 14 Oct '12

14 Oct '12

Feature added by: René Krell (renekrell) Feature #311312, revision 1 Title: YaST installation with a preview of changes / changelog on demand openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: René Krell (renekrell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: YaST Installation offers me a list of updateable packages, but usually it would be interesting for me, which changes have been made to them and whether updating is intersting for me. of course, best would be to see only a diff, but I understand that building a diff might be hard to do, because it depends on the local, preinstalled package and the repository it cames from. This could be probably done jut for the official OpenSUSE update repository. At least I would appreciate to get the new changelog on demand by marking a package in YaST and providing a "demand changelog action" on it. Use Case: A practical use-case: I use the kernel from the Tumbleweed repository, but need the native NVidia driver. There is no precompiled NVidia driver RPM for Tumbleweed kernels, thus, I have to recompile the driver by myself each time I update my kernel. Tumbleweed kernel updates appear very often, so it would be interesting whether I have to care about the changes made to them before installing and therefore having to recompile my graphics drivers. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This would save network resources and time for those people updating there systems frequently. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311312

[New: openFATE 308248] OBS Admin Setup Tool
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #308248, revision 1 Title: OBS Admin Setup Tool Buildservice: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Description: The OBS admins need a tool for initial setup and later configurations of operations, which can't be done via the API. This setup tool may be implemented as CLI or as (WEB) YaST module. The setup needs to setup the frontend and web part, and the backend part. The parts may run on different systems. Tasks which should be offered are: webclient/software: * Used api server * run services api (aka frontend) server: Basically the steps as documented in README.SETUP and README.UPDATE of the packages, this includes: * Database setup and initialisation * rails migration (also on update) * configure backend interfaces (may be announced via SLP) * Admin password settings * run services backend setup: * sign daemon setup (gpg key generation) * run services ( and show their state ) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308248

[New: openFATE 312797] Allow to receive build checks separately
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 09 Oct '12

09 Oct '12

Feature added by: Lars Vogdt (lrupp) Feature #312797, revision 1 Title: Allow to receive build checks separately Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Lars Vogdt (lrupp) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: During the review of packages, it is always a good idea to have a look at the different build checks that are running after a successful build. Currently, this means to download the whole buildlog, which is (in case of gcc) really huge and produces a lot of unneeded network traffic. osc already has the "-o offset" feature, which allow to limit the transfer but is not exact enough to get the correct lines during the first try. The WebUI lacks such a feature completely. I like to have a way to: * get just the rpmlint messages * get also other check output like the post-build-check results IMHO the api should offer some special request like "get _checklog" which might be divided via additional options to get just the result of special checks. "get _checklog/rpmlint" ; "get _checklog/02-check-gcc-output"; ... Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Package review is a very time consuming task. Allowing the reviewer to get just the output he needs save time and allows either to review faster or to other things with the results. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312797
