[openFATE 307765] Debuginfo file system

Feature added by: Ruchir Brahmbhatt (Ruchir) Feature #307765, revision 1 Title: Debuginfo file system openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ruchir Brahmbhatt (ruchir) Description: It would be nice to have internet mountable debuginfo file system just like fedora. This will allow users to get traces from gdb without installing lots of debuginfo packages. This way we can have access to all debuginfo packages without installing them. This will encourage more users to report bugs. Some users may not be willing to install additional debuginfo packages due to lack of enough disk space or willingness to report bugs. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307765

[New: openFATE 311124] Consolidate faillog, pam_tally, pam_tally2, pam_faillock

Feature added by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Feature #311124, revision 1 Title: Consolidate faillog, pam_tally, pam_tally2, pam_faillock openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There are four different ways to track the number of failed logins and react to this: faillog, pam_tally, pam_tally2, pam_faillock. They are all incompatible together and pretty hard next to impossible to configure. Goal: Write one new module "pam_faillog", which replaces all of them. Should be able to read all current databases, supports all features together but uses advanced PAM functionality to make configuration very easy. The module depends on correct behavior of calling application, which means we need some checks if application behaves correct and maybe fix them. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311124

Feature added by: fn ln (gwdg37) Feature #314358, revision 1 Title: Userdefined-JACK-Suite/Group Requested by: fn ln (gwdg37) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: PLEASE either provide a setup for all audio including pulse through JACK or something like a Jacked-Audio-Dynamic-Suite that allows users to select packages they want to use with JACK so that whenever any of these apps launch sound would be reconfigured to use JACK preferably but not necessarily without sacrificing common desktop and other app sounds etc. I've been turning blue in the face trying to get Rosegarden to produce sound AT ALL and I'd really like to use it with ZynnAddSubFX, Qsyth or in fact any other popular synth. The same goes for PLUG & Audacity which I want to use with my Fender amplifier as well as other sound packages. Or ask producing sources to provide alternatives to using JACK. I'm REALLY open to any solution OTHER than installing (mostly) audio apps that just plain don't work even when NOTHING proprietary is involved. Thanks. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314358

Feature added by: fn ln (gwdg37) Feature #314357, revision 1 Title: Request for mixminion package with python update Education Li-f-e: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: fn ln (gwdg37) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I'd like to see the mixminion package included. It isn't proprietary code or anything so I don't see why it couldn't be. Last I heard the project was being worked on again but if not than just fix the last release 0.0.8alpha3 so that it will work with newer versions of Python. Thank you -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314357

[New: openFATE 314691] Support setting hyperlink to any cells

Feature added by: Kohei Yoshida (kohei_yoshida) Feature #314691, revision 1 Title: Support setting hyperlink to any cells Requested by: Kohei Yoshida (kohei_yoshida) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Excel supports setting hyperlinks to any cells regardless of their contents. When set, the cell contents turn blue and underlined, and clicking on them will trigger action based on what the URL is. Calc, on the other hand, supports hyperlink either via HYPERLINK cell function or hyperlink field in rich-text contet. Calc should support an additional way of setting hyperlinks to cells as cell attributes so that we can faithfully interoperate with Excel documents with hyperlinks.

Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Making openSUSE a better MultiMedia desktop, having Gimp, Inkscape and Banshee this would be a very complementary. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308496

[New: openFATE 310831] Bépo keyboard layout - «first class citizen»
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 23 May '13

Feature added by: Pierre Ducroquet (Pinaraf) Feature #310831, revision 1 Title: Bépo keyboard layout - «first class citizen» openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Pierre Ducroquet (pinaraf) Description: Hi The usual qwerty keyboard layout (and similar layouts like qwertz, azerty...) are known for being suboptimal. Better layouts are available, like dvorak. These layouts are often tied to a language : dvorak is better for english, while french users will prefer bépo. On my system, I only use a bépo keyboard, that is not supported at all in the OpenSUSE installer, making it really painful to use. It would be a simple but nice addition to have bépo support in Yast. OpenSUSE would then be probably the only distribution providing that feature, and I don't think it costs much to include a new keyboard layout on the CD/DVD. Thanks -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310831

[New: openFATE 308320] YMP YaST Workflow

Feature added by: Hendrik Vogelsang (hennevogel) Feature #308320, revision 1 Title: YMP YaST Workflow openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Hendrik Vogelsang (hennevogel) Description: If you click on a YMP link firefox opens a window[1] asking you what you want to do with that link, suggesting to let the meta package handler handle it. You click okay from which another window[2] opens, the download manager of firefox. After it is finished an new window[3] pops up asking you the initial questions about the YMP handling. Which repos to subscribe to and which package to install. If you okay twice yet another window[4] opens asking me for the root password to start the package manager. Which is another window[5]. If there is a new repo in the YMP that you did not have before it will open a window[6] asking you to import the signing key. Somehow i doubt that this many windows are neccessarry. For a workflow that is desinged for the stupid user this should be improved imho. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308320

[New: openFATE 314461] gnu parallel

Feature added by: Guenter Grau (ggrau) Feature #314461, revision 1 Title: gnu parallel Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Guenter Grau (ggrau) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When I discovered GNU parallel it quickly became an indispensable tool for all my scripting. Beside fixing issues with "argument list too long" (which could be solved with xargs) it is very useful to utilize multiple cores or even machines on the script level (I use it to form a simple compute cluster). Since it is universal and simple to use, I wonder why it didn't become part of openSUSE long before. http://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/ -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314461
