[New: openFATE 312470] Support Project Linking in webui (and api)

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 A usecase is to avoid outdated meta packages on product builds (esp.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Description: The PyGreSQL (http://www.pygresql.org) version shipped with openSUSE 11.2 is 3.8.1 which has been superseded by PyGreSQL 4.0 already 11 months ago.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

This is intended to make builds work even when the interconnected host is down. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309331

[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 308539] Import/Export of YaST installation settings
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 29 Jan '14

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

[New: openFATE 309930] Link GDM and KDM to their respective manual chapters
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 24 Jan '14

24 Jan '14

Feature added by: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) Feature #309930, revision 1 Title: Link GDM and KDM to their respective manual chapters Requested by: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Chapters from the opensuse userguide often directly map to specific software or procedures on the desktop. A user who wants help for GDM should have a simple way how to access chapter 1.1 "Logging In" of the gnome user guide. Same for KDE. A universal implementation would not be specific to GDM/KDM. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: GDM sometimes shows menues at the bottom, sometimes not. A user needs these menus to e.g. switch between KDE and GNOME. The logic, when these menues appear is well documented in GNOME user guide. Having the relevant chapter handy, helps logging in and generally improves usability of the system. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309930

[New: openFATE 310780] Provide python 3 bindings when supported
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

Feature added by: Todd R (TheBlackCat) Feature #310780, revision 1 Title: Provide python 3 bindings when supported openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Todd R (theblackcat) Description: The new version of python, python 3, has been out for several years now. A lot of python bindings now support python 3. However, although openSUSE has provided python 3 for a while, it provides few, if any, python 3 versions of packages. My suggestion is that python 2 be kept the default, but for python packages and bindings that support it, python 3 versions should be made available as well. I think the python in the name would be replaced by python3, so in additiona to python-numpy there would be python3-numpy, for example. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310780
