[New: openFATE 309024] Inclusion of swftools
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

Feature added by: Matthew Ayres (Solar_Granulation) Feature #309024, revision 1 Title: Inclusion of swftools Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Matthew Ayres (solar_granulation) Description: As the project website says: "SWFTools is a collection of utilities for working with Adobe Flash files (SWF files). The tool collection includes programs for reading SWF files, combining them, and creating them from other content (like images, sound files, videos or sourcecode). SWFTools is released under the GPL." Of course many say that Flash is becoming obsolete, but it is still widely used and very popular. Not only is it used in web desgin, but also as a platform for Multitouch development. Swftools, being open and stable, would make an excellent addition to the openSUSE standard repository. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309024

[New: openFATE 309954] keepalived
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

Feature added by: Eric Renfro (psi-jack) Feature #309954, revision 1 Title: keepalived Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Eric Renfro (psi-jack) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: keepalived is used for monitoring real servers within a Linux Virtual Server (LVS) cluster. keepalived can be configured to remove real servers from the cluster pool if it stops responding, as well as send a notification email to make the admin aware of the service failure. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: keepalived is a very nice, simple, and yet powerful failover monitoring system as well as LVS director engine. pacemaker can be nice, but in many cases it may be too much for the job needed, this is where keepalived can come in and make a network router with backup completely available. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309954

Feature added by: Kálmán Kéménczy (kkemenczy) Feature #305688, revision 1, last change by Title: system wide spellchecker (hunspell) openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Kálmán Kéménczy (kkemenczy) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Why Hunspell? MySpell is not developed for quite a long time either in Mozilla and in OpenOffice.org. Hunspell is a fork of MySpell, it has great improvements is several ways, and fully backward compatible with MySpell. Main features: * Extended support for language peculiarities; Unicode character encoding, compounding and complex morphology. * Improved suggestion using n-gram similarity, rule and dictionary based pronounciation data. * Morphological analysis, stemming and generation. * Hunspell is based on MySpell and works also with MySpell dictionaries. * GPL/LGPL/MPL tri-license http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunspell http://hunspell.sourceforge.net/ Fedora project: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureDictionary Ubuntu project: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ConsolidateSpellingLibs I also find a reference in the wishlist: http://en.opensuse.org/Wishlist_Various Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=354554 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305688

[New: openFATE 310338] Always create /root/autoyast.xml for every installation
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

Feature added by: Darryl Miles (dlmiles) Feature #310338, revision 1 Title: Always create /root/autoyast.xml for every installation openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Darryl Miles (dlmiles) Description: Distribution such as RHEL (and any of its blood line) always leave a file /root/anaconda.ks which can be used to repeat the installation via their anaconda/kickstart process. The parallel to this with openSUSE is YaST2 and AutoYaST. The feature request is asking that at the end of every installation in the home directory of the root user the necessary file or files are created to allow the user to repeast the installation with the same options. If multiple files are needed then it maybe better provided as a single file using any archiver (tar/cpio/zip). Also making sure this format could be used directly with AutoYaST. There should be a YaST2 option to disable the emitting of configuration but the default should be to enabled it just like with RHEL. The process of making the user use another program to create an autoyast.xml descriptor is no where near as efficient as running through the entire installation process once and knowing you always get a descriptor out at the end of it. Which you can then if you like open up the editor to modify. This has far superior usability IMHO. If there are concerns over encoding hashed/encrypted passwords into the file then the generation of this installation configuration to file(s) in the root users home directory should have a tri-state value. * Off (meaning do no create any files), * On (meaning to create file(s) in the root home directory that would be necessary to perform the installation that just happened again with a new set of defaults and mostly unattended, however any security sensitive information such as passwords would not be included at all, this would be the new default for everyone), * On with Passwords (meaning the same as On but any security senstive information would also be emitted in the best possible way to retain as much security as possible, for example the password hash is in the file no the plain text password). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310338

[openFATE 307862] zypper parallel dowloading of packages
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

Feature added by: Aris Karagiannidis (arkara) Feature #307862, revision 1 Title: zypper parallel dowloading of packages openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Aris Karagiannidis (arkara) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Now, i think that this is already done with apt. What should happen is that zypper should download packages concurrently and when it does download them all, then it should install them Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Faster package management -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307862

[New: openFATE 309996] zypper download speed up
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

Feature added by: Robert Xu (bravoall1552) Feature #309996, revision 1 Title: zypper download speed up openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Robert Xu (bravoall1552) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I think we should have zypper use aria2 or some similar program to allow 2 consecutive downloads at once. While there is an option in zypp.conf, it does not work naturally with zypper and GUI tools. Having 2 downloads at once can speed up installation rapidly. For those who aren't in the DownloadInAdvance mode, maybe they can: * download 2 at once, add them to install queue, and have the install queue process as soon as the first download is done. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Because Zypper is a little slow, and that's preventing a lot of packages from being installed in time. We should be able to have zypper as speedy as possible. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309996

[New: openFATE 311366] Integrate biosdevname into the openSUSE installer
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 26 Jun '17

26 Jun '17

Feature added by: Narendra K - (narendra_k) Feature #311366, revision 1 Title: Integrate biosdevname into the openSUSE installer openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Narendra K - (narendra_k) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Description: On a Dell PowerEdge server with multiple add-in cards, the naming of the network interfaces is non-deterministic. This results in 'eth0' not mapping to "Embedded NIC 1" as labeled on the server chassis. This issue is seen on Dell PowerEdge 10G above. This feature addresses this issue by renaming network interfaces based on their location on the system motherboard at install time. The naming policy it suggests are as follows:    <![endif]--> Embedded devices: em<port> Add-in PCI cards: pci<slot>p<port>_<virtual function instance> On a PER710 with 4 Lan-On-Motherboard interfaces and a dual port add-in network controller, the interface names would look like - Onboard interfaces - em1 em2 em3 em4 Interface names for the dual port add-in controller on pci slot 2 pci2p0, pci2p1 If the second port has virtual functions enabled -pci2p1_0, pci2p1_2 ... etc Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This feature request addresses the non-determinism in network interface naming and allows referring to the interfaces based on their physical location on the motherboard. This would help in easy administration and eliminates the need for embedded state such as HWADDR into the configuration files and names will be consistent across reboots. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311366

[New: openFATE 311364] Include biosdevname udev helper utility into openSUSE
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 26 Jun '17

26 Jun '17

Feature added by: Narendra K - (narendra_k) Feature #311364, revision 1 Title: Include biosdevname udev helper utility into openSUSE openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Narendra K - (narendra_k) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: This feature is needed to implement the "Consistent Network device naming-Name network interfaces to match chassis labels" (https://features.opensuse.org/310896). Biosdevname is a udev helper which can suggest chassis based names to network interfaces. Please find latest version of biosdevname here - http://linux.dell.com/files/biosdevname/permalink/biosdevname-0.3.7.tar.gz http://linux.dell.com/files/biosdevname/permalink/biosdevname-0.3.7.tar.gz.… git://linux.dell.com/biosdevname.git -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311364

[New: openFATE 313430] Safe snapper snapshot creation / restoration during boot / shutdown
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 26 Jun '17

26 Jun '17

Feature added by: Ivar Nikolaisen (Quantumboredom) Feature #313430, revision 1 Title: Safe snapper snapshot creation / restoration during boot / shutdown openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ivar Nikolaisen (quantumboredom) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently Snapper takes snapshots both when doing system changes using YaST / Zypper, and also automatically on a schedule. The problem with these snapshots is that system integrity is not guaranteed (i.e., a snapshot can be taken while a file is being written, leaving the file in a corrupted state upon restoring the snapshot). I propose a mechanism where snapper takes a snapshot upon system shutdown at a stage where the snapshot can be guaranteed to be consistent. This could for example be just like a timeline snapshot, except the description should highlight that it was taken at system shutdown. It would also be very nice if it was possible to restore snapshots when booting (I believe Fedora is already working on something like this), but perhaps this should be a separate feature request? Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It is obviously useful to have known-good restore points. Especially useful for the many users of proprietary display drivers (even more so if using Tumbleweed!). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313430
