[New: openFATE 314693] Make PXE-bootable openSUSE live system available

Feature added by: Joschi Brauchle (endzone) Feature #314693, revision 1 Title: Make PXE-bootable openSUSE live system available openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Joschi Brauchle (endzone) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Many people seem to have tried to make an PXE-bootable openSUSE Live CD/System (not PXE installation), but there seem to be no *easy, step-by-step* instructions on how to get this working. There seems to be a way to get this done via a) KiWi oder b) SUSE Studio, but a) seems pretty complicated and b) is not free. See the following links: 1) http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/install-boot-log… 2) http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/network-internet… 3) http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/network-internet… 4) http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/install-boot-log… Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: In our corporate environment, all machines are currently running openSUSE 11.4 or 12.2. Thus, it would be great to have an openSUSE-based PXE-bootable live-system, in case there are problems with a machine. Currently, we have to use other distributions, which provide PXE-bootable images, to do rescue operations. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314693

[New: openFATE 314975] Enhanced YaST--> Boot Loader Tool

Feature added by: Dustin Falgout (falgout) Feature #314975, revision 1 Title: Enhanced YaST--> Boot Loader Tool openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Dustin Falgout (falgout) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The current boot loader configuration tool provides only the minimum amount of grub2 customization options. This seems to be a pattern among most distros and I think openSUSE could get ahead of the game in this area by providing a tool that allows you to customize your entire grub2 menu including backgrounds and themes. An example would be grub-customizer but written to "just work". Also related to this, currently the YaST boot loader tool either ignores your other installed distros (Windows always works) or it names all the entries openSUSE with the incorrect kernel boot perimeters. This should be improved so the user does not have to manually configure it, especially a new user. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: To stay ahead of the pack and continue to be the best distro for new users and experienced users alike. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314975

[New: openFATE 312365] Enable Mirror Admins to administrate their database entries

Feature added by: Lars Vogdt (lrupp) Feature #312365, revision 1 Title: Enable Mirror Admins to administrate their database entries openSUSE Infrastructure: Implementation Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Lars Vogdt (lrupp) Project Manager: (Novell) Engineering Manager: (Novell) Developer: (Novell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The current process for Mirror Administrators of the openSUSE Distribution (download.opensuse.org) always needs interaction between the openSUSE Administrators and the Mirror Admins. Even if there's just something like changing the Email or Name - or adapting the score to their needs. This should be changed, so Mirror Admins can change the settings of their own entries in the Mirror Database. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312365

[New: openFATE 314857] initrd/LUKS: support allow-discards

Feature added by: Tilman Vogel (tivo) Feature #314857, revision 1 Title: initrd/LUKS: support allow-discards openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Tilman Vogel (tivo) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: It would be great if the mkinitrd scripts at http://gitorious.org/opensuse/boot_crypto could support the "allow-discards" options in /etc/crypttab. That would allow to use TRIM on SSDs with LUKS (and maybe LVM) on the root partition. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314857

Feature added by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Feature #313538, revision 1 Title: Get rid of SuSEconfig.permissions 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. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313538

The 2.3.16 is listed as "legacy" at the Cyrus-Homepage (http://www.cyrusimap.org/mediawiki/index.php/Downloads#IMAP_Server) . Would it be possible/better to change to 2.4.6 (or whatever version will be recent then)? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311137
