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

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 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

Feature added by: Martin Sandsmark (martinsandsmark) Feature #310003, revision 1 Title: ArchLinux support Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Martin Sandsmark (martinsandsmark) Description: Support for making ArchLinux packages from PKGBUILDs would be nice. Is there any documentation for how to extend OBS to other build systems anywhere? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310003

[New: openFATE 313003] Installer: ability to choose encryption type / strength
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 Dec '13

25 Dec '13

Feature added by: Robert Delahunt (radelahunt) Feature #313003, revision 1 Title: Installer: ability to choose encryption type / strength openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Robert Delahunt (radelahunt) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I would like to request that a feature be added that allows a user to specify the encryption strength for their encrypted LVM. Previously on 11.4, the installer would accept the unlock key and then format the LUKS container to its own default (at the time I think 256bit aes-xts-something), which is overkill for a netbook, and may not be user-desirable. OpenSuSE 12.1 doesn't do this, honoring the LUKS setup that already exists, but nevertheless, being able to choose the bit strength and encryption type (such as aes-cbc-essiv, etc) would be nice. I would be willing to provide any help documentation for a "help" or "what is this?" button on this section (and it could be made part of the "custom (for experts)" section of disk partitioning. Respectfully, Robert -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313003

[New: openFATE 311186] original cdrtools
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Dec '13

22 Dec '13

Feature added by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Feature #311186, revision 1 Title: original cdrtools Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: openSuSE distributes the package wodim instead of the package cdrtools. The reason this happens is a claim of the Debian maintainers that the present license of the package cdrtools is incompatible with GPL. However, even if it were the case, it does not make a good reason to exclude cdrtools from openSuSE. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: cdrtools is better maintained and it is less buggy. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311186
