Feature added by: Sławomir Lach (Lachu) Feature #310059, revision 1 Title: Application to running exe and msi files. openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sławomir Lach (lachu) Description: I don't understand why we should run Wine(if installed) once user clicks on exe/msi file. In my opionion, users keep only installers on desktop and removes it after installation. Also keeping every application installed in one prefix is not good solution. There also should winecfg been running once this case. Of course, we should have DB to store information about connection between wineprefix and exe file. We can also add other enchancement, like asking to connect PlayOnLiinux repository to download Linux installer script. Another example is asking user to select application icon and application category(probably it need to depther wine integration). Use Case: Peter would like to install Dev-C++. It only downloads it from page, click twice on desktop and select create new prefix. Once installation completes, he can remove installator from desktop. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310059

[openFATE 308180] Development versions of packages include in openSUSE release notes
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 26 Jun '17

Feature added by: Peter Gumbrell (gumb) Feature #308180, revision 1 Title: Development versions of packages include in openSUSE release notes openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Peter Gumbrell (gumb) Description: With regard to the inclusion of packages in distros that are 'not intended for end users', and the recent controversies such as the KDE 4.0 release in openSUSE 11.0 (and probable future issues with such things as KOffice 2.0 in openSUSE 11.2), I propose a way to keep 'regular users' better informed of this advice, which is sometimes not dispensed with clarity or through the right channels. I have copied this suggestion to the forums for further feedback. I suggest that all packages known to be in an alpha, beta or other development state are noted as such in some single, central place. The Release Notes might be a good place for this, as it would allow last-minute inclusions, and also ensure the majority of users would be informed during the installation process. There wouldn't need to be too much detail, just a simple list with perhaps a brief, optional summary of the state of each relevant package. The below is my example of how it might read. There might be legal or technical implications to be taken into account. == Alpha, beta and development versions of software packages openSUSE distribution releases sometimes include development versions of certain software packages. This can be due to a number of reasons, such as compatibility with other software or hardware. These programs may be lacking some features, designed for testing use, or may be unstable and not recommended for regular users. Other packages may be relatively stable, but labelled as 'beta' or 'development version' on an almost permanent basis, because of ongoing changes and improvements. Throughout the product lifecycle of openSUSE releases, updates to packages are made available through the 'Software Update' mechanism. From time to time, these may include final versions of packages previously provided as development versions in the original distribution. The following list summarizes packages contained in this release that are known to be 'development' versions. It is intended as a guide for users who might not wish to run unstable versions of software. The list is not exhaustive and there may be some omissions. Kaffeine 0.9pre2* - Latest development release. Included for better stability than alternative versions. K3B alpha3* - Latest development release. Included for better stability than alternative versions. KOffice 2.02* - Development release. Not intended for end users. Kompozer 0.8a4*** - Bugfix / development release, included for compatibility purposes. SeaMonkey 2.0RC2** - Bugfix release. Should be stable for most purposes. Thunderbird 3.0b4 - Bugfix release. Should be stable for most purposes. * Not included on GNOME Live CD ** Not included on KDE Live CD *** Included on DVD version only == Obviously, my own list is just a mock-up and probably incorrect anyway. Perhaps there would even be a way to automate the generation of this list by assessment of package names (rather hopeful I suppose). There could also be a link to a wiki page on opensuse.org, though this assumes users have an Internet connection and hence I don't see it as so practical. Is this idea practical or possible for 11.2? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308180

[New: openFATE 309237] Bigger default panel
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 26 Jun '17

26 Jun '17

Feature added by: Mircea Kitsune (MirceaKitsune) Feature #309237, revision 1 Title: Bigger default panel openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Mircea Kitsune (mirceakitsune) Description: This is a minor change introduced in 11.2 which I believe Opensuse might have been better without. I find the default panel in 11.2 / 11.3 milestone 3 (KDE 4) a bit too small. It's closer to the Windows Taskbar's size, but for Linux I think the previous size was better (I like the default one in 11.1 personally). In my opinion, the current size is not only a bit uglier (the panel's too small compared to everything else) but also makes it harder to click on some buttons, like desktops which are vertically half the size of the pointer. Here are a few screenshots showing the default panel I'm addressing: http://www.linuxforu.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/04-KDE4-Desktop.png -- http://jjtcomputing.co.uk/images/opensuse11.2-desktop.png I believe 35-40 would be a nice default size, the current default apparently being 30 (measured in units shown when clicking Panel Options and dragging the Height slider in 11.2). Of course everyone resizes it to their own like after installing Opensuse, so this hardly has any importance. Just a suggestion for what I believe would be a better default if anyone else agrees. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309237
