[New: openFATE 312470] Support Project Linking in webui (and api)
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #312470, revision 1 Title: Support Project Linking in webui (and api) Buildservice: New Milestone: 2.5 Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Project Manager: (Novell) Engineering Manager: (Novell) Developer: (Novell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The webui is not supporting listing of source packages coming via project links. This makes the usage of projects like the SP projects very hard because people need to check all project pages to find their packages. I think we should offer a method in api to list all packages containing the information from which projects they come originally. webui should use it to display the packages, but it should make clear which package comes from which project. This is required for 2.5 to be able to offer an interface for non-developers to lookup meta data like bugowners. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312470

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #311247, revision 1 Title: mode to remove old binaries after package fail. Buildservice: New Milestone: 2.5 Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Project Manager: (Novell) Engineering Manager: (Novell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: We want to have a mode to remove the old binaries in any case when a new build finished, also when it failed. This mode should assure that the repo contains only succeeded packages. We may want to set this project, repo wide or per package. A usecase is to avoid outdated meta packages on product builds (esp. installation-images). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311247

Feature added by: Christoph Zwerschke (czwersch) Feature #308386, revision 1 Title: Update PyGreSQL package from 3.8.1 to 4.0 openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Christoph Zwerschke (czwersch) Description: The PyGreSQL (http://www.pygresql.org) version shipped with openSUSE 11.2 is 3.8.1 which has been superseded by PyGreSQL 4.0 already 11 months ago. The new version has several important improvements (http://www.pygresql.org/changelog.html) , so it would be highly desirable to update the package in openSUSE. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308386

[New: openFATE 308489] Source Code Distribution
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

Feature added by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Feature #308489, revision 1 Title: Source Code Distribution Buildservice: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Make it easy to download source packages of milestone and final releases, e.g. with a specific web page with input of package name and release version. Btw. we should also document in the wiki properly how we distribute source code for milestone and final releases - and how for build service packages. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Source code availability is a requirement of the various Open Source licenses, this feature will help us to do this properly and in a documented way. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308489

[New: openFATE 315250] Make it easier to move around kiwi files in OBS
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #315250, revision 1 Title: Make it easier to move around kiwi files in OBS Buildservice: Implementation Milestone: 2.5 Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: We have often problems when moving around kiwi files in OBS, since they often need a changed repository list then. OBS will support a directive to use the repositories from the project repository definition instead. This can be triggered via defining an "obsrepositories:/" repository in the kiwi file. OBS (and osc) will patch then the kiwi file when a build starts to use the expanded repository list from the project definition. It will work therefore with all kiwi version, but we should add some proper error message to kiwi, if someone tries to run kiwi manually on such a file. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/315250

[New: openFATE 316834] Licensing problems of cdrtools
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 07 Feb '14

07 Feb '14

Feature added by: Chuck Norris (bugmenot12) Feature #316834, revision 1 Title: Licensing problems of cdrtools Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Chuck Norris (bugmenot12) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: In https://features.opensuse.org/311186 it was discussed that cdrtools do not have a valid license (for binary distribution) because of linking GPL to CDDL code. Nevertheless, the opensource build system does include a number of copies of cdrtools. Maybe cdrtools needs to be put on a block list, because of this known license problem? See e.g. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/multimedia:apps/cdrtools but searching for "cdrtools" will yield other copies of this software that cannot be legally distributed in compiled form. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316834

29 Jan '14

Feature added by: Klaus Kämpf (kwk) Feature #308539, revision 1 Title: Import/Export of YaST installation settings openSUSE-11.3: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Klaus Kämpf (kwk) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Configuring the installation settings in YaST (timezone, partitioning, packages) takes some time. When you then hit a bug in the installer (i.e. partitioning failure) forcing you to restart, things get annoying. This request is asking for an import/export option in YaSTs 'installation settings' overview. (Actually, the 'import' is needed much earlier ...) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Usability. Disaster recovery. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308539
