[New: openFATE 312491] Explicit IPv6 support for YaST printer module

Feature added by: Johannes Meixner (jsmeix) Feature #312491, revision 1 Title: Explicit IPv6 support for YaST printer module openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Johannes Meixner (jsmeix) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently there is not any kind of special IPv6 support in yast2-printer. Currently IPv6 works only where it is compatible to IPv4 but there are cases where IPv6 needs special handling: For example the tests whether or not a remote host is accessible run "ping <IP-address or hostname>" which fails if IP-address is an IPv6 address because for IPv6 ping6 must be used. See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=697833 Unfortunately ping6 cannot be used for IPv4 addresses so that yast2-printer needs to implement special distinction of cases in particular if a hostname is given depending on whether or not this hostname has an IPv4 or IPv6 address or both. Probably there are some more special distinction of cases needed to distinguish between IPv4 and IPv6 stuff. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312491

[New: openFATE 314657] Add setting to not create Failsafe entries in grub menu

Feature added by: Michal Marek (michal-m) Feature #314657, revision 1 Title: Add setting to not create Failsafe entries in grub menu openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michal Marek (michal-m) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When testing multiple kernels, the grub menu quickly becomes a mess, because every kernel is listed twice. I would love to have a setting in /etc/sysconfig/bootloader, that would allow to tell perl-Bootloader to stop generating the Failsafe entries. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314657

[New: openFATE 308839] performance: prompt early on failure ...

Feature added by: Michael Meeks (michael_meeks) Feature #308839, revision 1 Title: performance: prompt early on failure ... Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Michael Meeks (michael_meeks) Description: For local builds, osc has an unfortunate habit of doing a large amount of work, before failing very late. For slow building or leaf packages this can be excessively painful - wasting an "overnight" build slot eg. Many of the checks that we currently do in the middle, should be moved to the beginning (or perhaps just duplicated there). Some examples I have fallen over: * prompt-user-to-re-build-jail - this currently happens after any new packages are downloaded - a process that can take as long as the building. We can know that a jail was dirty before we start & warn then; if we even need dirty jails [cf. fate#308837# ] * simple RPM syntax problems - could be linted ahead of time, currently done after jail construction. + we should catch in particular: missing / mis-named files + mis-applied / not-applied patches + anything else obvious that we can catch Doing this early - while the human is watching is likely to hide long pipeline stalls, and context switching overhead for packagers. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308839

[New: openFATE 313077] New PAM modules must not be deployed unnoticed by sec team

Just like any suid/daemon/DBUS service. In particular if they are installed by default. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313077

[New: openFATE 311163] packaging firefox add-ons
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 Apr '16

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #311163, revision 1 Title: packaging firefox add-ons Hackweek VI: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: We lack a way to be able to easily package firefox add-ons as rpm. Packages of add-ons are useful both for the distro vendor and for admins. Distro (or appliance) vendors may install some add-ons by default. Admins want all users to have certain add-ons by default. Moreover some add-ons are not noarch (like bonjourfoxy) and need to be compiled specifically for each distro so a package is unavoidable. To make all of that possible the firefox package needs to provide rpm macros so spec files for add-ons become really simple. By creating a script that downloads version, description etc from addons.mozilla.org and automatically creates spec files the task of packaging add-ons becomes a piece of cake. See home:lnussel:firefox for current status. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311163

LinuxFoundation has re-implemented it in a cleaner way for 1.8 release. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309362

[openFATE 305838] Integrate ReviewBoard in Buildservice

Feature added by: Klaas Freitag (kfreitag) Feature #305838, revision 1, last change by Title: Integrate ReviewBoard in Buildservice Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Klaas Freitag (kfreitag) Description: ReviewBoard is a code change review system. It should be considered to integrate it to the openSUSE Buildservice infrastructure to ease collaboration. It might be an option that submit requests to packages can be handled in the review board. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305838

[New: openFATE 313233] Get Zypper to remove installed patterns
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Jan '16

Feature added by: Drew Adams (Druonysus) Feature #313233, revision 1 Title: Get Zypper to remove installed patterns openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Drew Adams (druonysus) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Get Zypper to remove a pattern. Zypper can install a pattern nut when going to remove that same pattern, Zypper does not remove that pattern... When do a: "zypper rm -t pattern <pattern name>" Zypper, just tells you: "Uninstallation of a pattern is currently not defined and implemented." You CAN remove a pattern in YaST so I would think that there should be a way to remove the pattern with Zypper. "yum groupremove <group name>" works on Fedora/CentOS/RHEL... we should really have this working to keep up with them. Use Case: If I build a bare openSUSE image on SUSE Studio, and I decide not to install yast and only Zypper... I will only be able to install patterns but NO way to remove it. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313233

[New: openFATE 312293] Option to disable disk check on certian volumes in YaST
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 04 Jan '16

Feature added by: Dean Hilkewich (deanjo13) Feature #312293, revision 1 Title: Option to disable disk check on certian volumes in YaST openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Dean Hilkewich (deanjo13) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: This is one really really really annoying feature in yast. Here is the scenario, you have a machine with a bunch of storage drives, drives that are normally kept full. Everytime you enter something like package management in YaST it pops up a low disk space warning. This warning should only apply for volumes where YaST utilizes for it's files (such as download cache, home, etc). A HTPC for example often has volumes full to the max. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312293

[openFATE 305914] PAC support for 'system wide proxy configuration'
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 Dec '15

05 Dec '15

Feature added by: Dominique Leuenberger (dimstar) Feature #305914, revision 1, last change by Title: PAC support for 'system wide proxy configuration' openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Dominique Leuenberger (dimstar) Description: The distribution now contains libproxy and we should try to make as much use of it as possible. A big advantage is the ability to parse PAC (Proxy AutoConfiguration) without the need for this in every application. Simply linking against libproxy with it's very simple API (3 API calls, 2 without parameters) is enugh to have the advantage of no longer needing to 'guess' what proxy to use. What is now: - You can set in yast / proxy a general proxy to be used (http://foo.proxy.com:1234) This is bascially put into http_proxy envvar. In gnome you can set user proxy configuration as: - Use System Proxy (as configured in yast) - Use proxy configuration (static, same options as in yast) - Use automatic proxy configuration script Yast lacks the option to specify a PAC script on system wide level. This is only possible in the user sessions configuration. This made sense as most applications don't know how to handle pac files anyway. But with libroxy, this hurdle can be taken away from every single application and can thus be offered. I'm glad to elaborate on questions; I'm sure there are some :-) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305914
