Title: Make Icon Theme installer only show .tar.gz themes
openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed
Priority
Requester: Important
Requested by: 6tr6tr 6tr6tr (6tr6tr)
Description:
I recently tried installing new icon themes into openSUSE 11.3 via the Configure Desktop app. It showed a lot of themes with an "install" button, but when I pressed it, nothing happened. It turns out, that's because it only installs .tar.gz files and a number of the themes listed are in other formats. So the "Get New Themes..." popup should only show files it can actually install.

Title: [Feature-request] Yast as a Linux learning tool
openSUSE-11.1: New
Priority
Requester: Desirable
Requested by: Alexey Eremenko <al4321(a)gmail.com>
Partner organization: openSUSE.org
Description:
Hi All !
I Have very good new idea: converting Yast into a Linux learning tool.
This is very simple to achieve: Yast must show the commands it executes and files it modifies, in a nice GUI dialog.
It will allow all kinds of Linux users understand how things really work. Enable learn new things or remind how old-but-forgotten things work for seasoned people.
Great, isn't it ?
P.S. Jay Vollmer recommends, that among the commands that Yast shows as it executing, it should also recommend "man pages" for the relevant underlying commands.

If one wants to see what is gong on in background, than look at logs in realtime. There is console (Konsole) and command tail. Run as root:

Sounds like a great way for new users to learn more about what's under the hood. Or, what's under the bonnet, for the Brits.

Moving to maintainers to decide.

Title: Add openSUSE's Bugzilla and openFATE to Firefox's Bookmarks folder.
openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed

Requested by: Ricardo Varas (ricardovarassantana)
Description:
I am thinking about the importance of those two features being included in openSUSE's Brand of Firefox, in case the user needs or feels like filing a bug or requesting and/or checking new features, For new users it'd become a much easier task having those items bookmarked by default.

Description:
Beeing interested in a very active feature request like https://features.opensuse.org/306967 results in a lot of mails, all which contain the full feature request with all the comments, it'd be nice if one could switch to a more bugzilla like behaviour so you only see what's changed, or in case it is an awnser maybe quote the previous message as well, but finding 4 lines tagged with + in a thread where people feel +1 beeing a proper comment is somewhat awkward.

Title: Temporary Build Support (aka mbuild)
Buildservice: Evaluation
Priority
Requester: Important
Projectmanager: Important
Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse)
Description:
A temporary build support is wanted to obsolete what we currently have internal as mbuild. A temporary Build should fullfill the following requirements:
* Upload of local sources without the need to create a project or package namespace manually.
* Build as part of an existing project, without the need to have write access there and without to modify it.
* Build results should be stored and downloadable for X time. Afterwards they need to get removed automatically.

Title: Change HISTCONTROL default value to ignoredups
openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed
Priority
Requester: Important
Requested by: Jorge Vallecillo (altmas5)
Partner organization: openSUSE.org
Description:
The default value of HISTCONTROL bash enviroment variable should be changed to ignoredups instead of ignoreboth. ignoreboth includes ignorespace, which is a security flaw allowing users to type sensitive commands supressing them from bash_history file and leaving no auditing clue. OpenSUSE should set the tone compared to other distros giving importance needed to security details like these.
Business case (Partner benefit):
openSUSE.org: Security by default. Minimize risks. Identify malicious users.

Title: make repo keys available on project's web site via SSL
Buildservice: Unconfirmed
Priority
Requester: Desirable
Requested by: John McInnes (jamjamjamjam)
Partner organization: openSUSE.org
Description:
I was thinking of a way to get repo keys to users in a secure fashion, so they can have some measure of trust, instead of just blindly accepting/importing new keys when installing software. Personally, before accepting a key, I will usually try to google it by ID or fingerprint, search various gpg key servers, ask on a mailing list or newsgroup for 3rd party verification, etc... its a pain in the ***.
So I see that the buildservice provides a https interface to project pages. It would be a nice feature to provide the project repo keys there. At least show ID and fingerprint.
