[openFATE 315090] Upgrade to Bluez 5

Feature changed by: Frederic Crozat (fcrozat) Feature #315090, revision 6 Title: Upgrade to Bluez 5 Requested by: Jeffrey Cheung (jeffreycheung) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: BlueZ 5 come with numerous new features, API simplifications and other improvements. With this release BlueZ only supports the new Bluetooth Management kernel interface that was introduced in Linux 3.4, so essentially this is the minimum kernel requirement for BlueZ 5. For Low Energy support at least kernel version 3.5 is needed. The new major version indicates that the API is not backwards compatible with BlueZ 4, which means that any applications, agents, etc will need to be updated. The BlueZ internal test scripts and tools have naturally already been updated to support the new API. The BlueZ version in SLE11 SP3 is BlueZ 4.99 which mean that regardless of new features, and improvements, we have to upgrade definitely. Discussion: #1: Frederic Crozat (fcrozat) (2013-06-25 16:26:22) Bluez 5 can be installed in parallel with Bluez4, allowing applications not ported to BlueZ 5 API to work properly + #2: Frederic Crozat (fcrozat) (2013-07-02 16:53:42) (reply to #1) + it looks like I was a bit optimistic. You can only have one BlueZ + installed (4 or 5) and they aren't API compatible, which requires + having all BT applications moved to BlueZ 5.. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/315090

Feature changed by: Frederic Crozat (fcrozat) Feature #313537, revision 6 Title: Get rid of SuSEconfig.glib2 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 the packages. - Relations: - - Remove SuSEconfig (feature/id: 100011) + Discussion: + #1: Frederic Crozat (fcrozat) (2013-07-02 17:38:30) + SuSEconfig being dead for SLE12, we could mark this feature as Done, + already), but let's follow the process -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313537

[New: openFATE 315266] Download release notes in 1st stage

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #315266, revision 1 Title: Download release notes in 1st stage openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: In 12.3 it was identified that displaying the release notes from the DVD is not the best option today anymore. YaST should download the most current version from the internet at an early stage of installation instead. That means network needs to be configured independently of the way the system was booted. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/315266
