[New: openFATE 313546] Get rid of SuSEconfig.scim
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 26 Nov '14

Feature added by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Feature #313546, revision 1 Title: Get rid of SuSEconfig.scim openSUSE Distribution: Evaluation by project manager Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There is no point to run that code after installation of every package (and it's not run when you use zypper or 3rd party tools anyways). That code should be only run as a part of post-install of affected packages. Relations: - Remove SuSEconfig (feature/id: 100011) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313546

Feature added by: Yuri Tsarev (xnull) Feature #311130, revision 1 Title: Open source client to manage VMware ESX(i) Servers Hackweek VI: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Yuri Tsarev (xnull) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: An open source client to perform basic administration management of VMware ESX(i) Servers. Client should provide ability of virtual machine creation and administration, accessing VM console remotely, snapshotting, changing main VM parameters such as memory/disk size, iso image connecting etc. Use Case: Bob is a Linux administrator. He has to manage VMware ESXi 4 Servers but he doesn't want to use VMware VSphere client for Windows. It's very convenient for him to use an open source client for this purposes which runs on his Linux desktop. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311130

[New: openFATE 314662] Use a "green Adwaita" GTK theme
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 11 Nov '14

Feature added by: Michael Catanzaro (Golbats_Everywhere) Feature #314662, revision 1 Title: Use a "green Adwaita" GTK theme openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Michael Catanzaro (golbats_everywhere) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: openSUSE 12.1/12.2 uses the upstream Adwaita GTK theme. This is mostly good, since it's a very high-quality theme, and I believe one of our goals is to not diverge much from the upstream GNOME experience. However, GNOME's main color is blue, whereas ours is green. When highlighting text, the highlight is blue. When selecting an item in a list, the background turns blue. When selecting the scrollbar, the scrollbar turns blue. When typing into a text form, the form is outlined in blue. I propose we change the blue elements of Adwaita to green elements (by default). This should be all that is changed, so that the theme remains simple to maintain and retains the GNOME feel. I separately propose using the Sonar icon set by default in GNOME, which still works great in 12.2 and is very very close to upstream GNOME. This is not essential to the overall proposal. Screenshots of a mockup: Current: http://paste.opensuse.org/92804741 Proposed: http://paste.opensuse.org/31898989 Current: http://paste.opensuse.org/33805016 Proposed: http://paste.opensuse.org/27086964 Current: http://paste.opensuse.org/13532791 Proposed: http://paste.opensuse.org/57771364 Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: A green Adwaita theme would fit both upstream GNOME and also openSUSE, and would add a level of polish and integration to the distro. The current "blue Adwaita" theme feels out of place in openSUSE, particularly considering the attention to artistic detail in other parts of the distribution. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314662

[New: openFATE 311336] zypper lr --active - list only active repos
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 06 Nov '14

Feature added by: Christian Boltz (cboltz) Feature #311336, revision 1 Title: zypper lr --active - list only active repos openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Christian Boltz (cboltz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I often find myself to run zypper lr | grep 'Yes *|' to get a list of all active repos on my system. A zypper option would be useful for this - something like zypper lr --active (not sure about the short version of this option, because the obvious ones (-a, -A) are already taken.) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311336

[New: openFATE 314473] Replace pwdutils with shadow utilities
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

Feature added by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Feature #314473, revision 1 Title: Replace pwdutils with shadow utilities Requested by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The pwdutils are from a time where the shadow utilities did not had a maintainer and the patches every Linux distribution had were longer then the whole source code. Meanwhile the upstream project is active again and most patches where accepted. Thus we should switch to the shadow project to get all the advantages (for example acl,extended attributes,selinux support).

[New: openFATE 308967] Allow Oracle Instant Packages
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Oct '14

18 Oct '14

Feature added by: Ciro Iriarte (ciriarte) Feature #308967, revision 1 Title: Allow Oracle Instant Packages Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ciro Iriarte (ciriarte) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Include Oracle Instant Client in openSUSE or at least, allow for creation and store in Build Service. This was attempted before but all the work was lost because the files were deleted from OBS. The InstantClient can be redistributed and it doesn't require any license to be used, the only issue is that it doesn't include source code. This can be handled like Sun's Java or Adobe Acrobat. Ref: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2007-08/msg00311.html (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2007-08/msg00311.html) http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-oracle/2007-Aug/0055.html (http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-oracle/2007-Aug/0055.html) Use Case: Creation of dependent packages like php-oci, Perl DBD::Oracle or TOra Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: To make easier the user's life, also this feature would be very attractive, providing Oracle connectivity from CLI, GUI, PHP and Perl out of the box, or at least really fast after adding the needed repository. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308967

Feature added by: Peter Bowen (pzb) Feature #310516, revision 1 Title: YaST2 DNSSEC openSUSE-11.4: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Peter Bowen (pzb) Description: With the root zone now being signed, DNSSEC is finally seeing adoption. It would be really nice for YaST to be able to generate a signed zone. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310516

Feature added by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Feature #314594, revision 1 Title: Drop ISDN support Requested by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: ISDN package still depends on SuSEconfig, there is nobody who is able to adjust the code, ISDN is getting less and less important. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314594

[New: openFATE 314945] No ABI extension in glibc
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

Feature added by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Feature #314945, revision 1 Title: No ABI extension in glibc openSUSE Distribution: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently we have the crypt-blowfish patches in glibc that add new symbol versions to it. I consider that addition wrong and propose to find a solution (might be getting the support in upstream, or using a separate library,...) that does not extend the ABI at all. The goal should be that our glibc exports exactly the same symbols as upstream glibc does. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314945

[New: openFATE 309036] Add checkbox to yast2-dns-server whether to use NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="bind" or not
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

Feature added by: Marius Tomaschewski (mtomaschewski) Feature #309036, revision 1 Title: Add checkbox to yast2-dns-server whether to use NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="bind" or not openSUSE-11.3: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Marius Tomaschewski (mtomaschewski) Description: Currently, yast2-dns-server always enables and makes use of the netconfig NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="bind" feature and writes the recursive forwarder name servers specified by the user to NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS (same nameserver list as in yast2-dns). This configures, that the locally running bind is used as forwarder for the system (glibc) and the bind is using the specified name servers as forwarders and allows netconfig (by default, but it depends on NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY) to update the forwarders list via netconfig with dynamic settings, e.g. from DHCP or PPP. This behavior is usually OK, and the user can disable the updates with the DHCP/PPP/... nameservers by NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY="STATIC" instead of "auto". But currently, yast2-dns-server does not allow to configure forwarders for e.g. non-recursive, (authorative only) name server serving some zones, without to act as forwarder/recursive name server for the local system (glibc, /etc/resolv.conf), that may use another forwarders (netconfig). To allow above configuraion, it would be required to add a checkbox to disable the current behavior and instead: * Set NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="resolver" * Write the forwardes list directly into the /etc/named.d/forwarders.conf * Call "netconfig update -m dns" (when it fails, ask the user whether to force and call "netconfig update -m dns -f") To enable current behavior again: * Reset/truncate the /etc/named.d/forwarders.conf ("cp /dev/null forwarders.conf") * Set NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="bind" * Write the forwardes list to NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS * Call "netconfig update -m dns" (when it fails, ask the user whether to force and call "netconfig update -m dns -f") Relations: - Bug 576759 - yast dns vs. dns-server is poorly designed (feature/id: 576759) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309036
