[openFATE 307255] Less scary yast conflict dialogs
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

Feature added by: Martin Schlander (cb400f) Feature #307255, revision 1 Title: Less scary yast conflict dialogs openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Martin Schlander (cb400f) Description: The YaST2 sw_single dialog for conflicts, vendor change, architecture change etc. is very scary for many users. The dialog asks the user to select one of usually three offered solutions for each problem without giving much help. This is a cause for many complaints, and contributes to myths of RPM dependency hell still existing today. Zypper on the other hand, does things differently. Zypper will select an action for the user, then informs the user of the changes that will be made, and asks a Yes or No question whether the user wishes to proceed or not. I suggest to implement behaviour similar to zypper in the YaST dialog. However, the old functionality of letting the user select a solution manually for each individual problem should probably be kept, as a "hidden" expert/advanced option in the dialog. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307255

[New: openFATE 308528] Yast options to replicate Ldap server
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Jul '14

Feature added by: Eduardo Sotomayor (Easgs) Feature #308528, revision 1 Title: Yast options to replicate Ldap server openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Eduardo Sotomayor (easgs) Description: In opensuse 11.x it is possible to setup an ldap server easily, but it would be nice to have the option to setup the server in graphical mode as an ldap provider or ldap costumer, in case you need redundancy in your environment, this is especially useful when creating a samba BDC that is possible to setup using yast. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308528

[New: openFATE 309058] Support patterns a build dependencies

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #309058, revision 1 Title: Support patterns a build dependencies Buildservice: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Description: Esp. for kiwi image builds we need to support also patterns as build dependencies. This may be done together with fate #309057 (Generate patterns out of product descriptions), but we could also already support it with current pattern support of OBS. That would mean we need to generate the patterns from past products also as OBS pattern. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309058

Feature added by: Carsten Hoeger (choeger) Feature #306193, revision 1, last change by Title: Provide download statistics in OBS Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Carsten Hoeger (choeger) Description: It would be great to see how popular the packages are. That's an important feature especially for management people. Use Case: Manager John would like to see whether the investment in providing packages for the community did show any results. Is the community interested at all? Did the last press announcement result in increased download numbers? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306193

[New: openFATE 311043] switch to a UEFI-ready bootloader by default
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

Feature added by: Jose Ricardo De Leon Solis (derhundchen) Feature #311043, revision 1 Title: switch to a UEFI-ready bootloader by default openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Jose Ricardo De Leon Solis (derhundchen) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: While reading a review of a Sandy Bridge motherboard in Anandtech it was pointed that upcoming intel motherboards will ship with a UEFI firmware instead of a BIOS. While reading the documentation for UEFI firmware I noticed that the bootloader has to be a UEFI application. In order to support this new hardware we need a bootloader that supports UEFI booting, GRUB legacy as far as I know doesn't support this. I think it's time to retire GRUB legacy and use GRUB2, elilo or rEFIt (though this one is a long shot). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311043

[New: openFATE 314693] Make PXE-bootable openSUSE live system available
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 06 Jun '14

Feature added by: Joschi Brauchle (endzone) Feature #314693, revision 1 Title: Make PXE-bootable openSUSE live system available openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Joschi Brauchle (endzone) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Many people seem to have tried to make an PXE-bootable openSUSE Live CD/System (not PXE installation), but there seem to be no *easy, step-by-step* instructions on how to get this working. There seems to be a way to get this done via a) KiWi oder b) SUSE Studio, but a) seems pretty complicated and b) is not free. See the following links: 1) http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/install-boot-log… 2) http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/network-internet… 3) http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/network-internet… 4) http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/install-boot-log… Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: In our corporate environment, all machines are currently running openSUSE 11.4 or 12.2. Thus, it would be great to have an openSUSE-based PXE-bootable live-system, in case there are problems with a machine. Currently, we have to use other distributions, which provide PXE-bootable images, to do rescue operations. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314693

[New: openFATE 312365] Enable Mirror Admins to administrate their database entries
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 May '14

15 May '14

Feature added by: Lars Vogdt (lrupp) Feature #312365, revision 1 Title: Enable Mirror Admins to administrate their database entries openSUSE Infrastructure: Implementation Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Lars Vogdt (lrupp) Project Manager: (Novell) Engineering Manager: (Novell) Developer: (Novell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The current process for Mirror Administrators of the openSUSE Distribution (download.opensuse.org) always needs interaction between the openSUSE Administrators and the Mirror Admins. Even if there's just something like changing the Email or Name - or adapting the score to their needs. This should be changed, so Mirror Admins can change the settings of their own entries in the Mirror Database. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312365
