Feature changed by: grant k (grantksupport) Feature #307735, revision 9 Title: "Publish on Build Success" mode Buildservice: Evaluation by engineering manager Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Desirable Requested by: Stephan Binner (beineri) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: It would be good to have a publishing mode which runs only if all packages of a project have built successful (no fail, no expansion errors, no broken) to prevent syncing out of a likely broken/non- installable state. This would be especially useful for automatic upgraded snapshots with a whole chain of interdepending packages. Discussion: #1: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2010-01-22 16:20:31) Should be a "publish only if no fail/broken/expansion errors exist) #2: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2010-02-20 12:11:31) My suggestion is to make it possible via <publish> <enable condition="noerror"> </disable> </publish> setting. #3: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2010-02-20 20:05:40) At the same time, could we have a tunable that publishes packages "every once in a while" (like, X hours), otherwise I am getting no sync for days with large projects. #4: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2010-05-20 09:09:38) That feature still needs discussion, moving to 2.5. + #5: grant k (grantksupport) (2014-06-11 02:44:10) + Adrian pointed me here from my own post, + https://github.com/openSUSE/open-build-service/issues/702 + +1 on this capability to keep critical repos available. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307735

Feature added by: Claudio Freire (klaussfreire) Feature #317685, revision 1 Title: Easy way to install build dependencies openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Claudio Freire (klaussfreire) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Both zypper and YaST should have a simple way of installing build dependencies for packages. With zypper, zypper si works, but also installs the sources (which is one extra package one might not want when working with source tarballs). With YaST, there's not even an equivalent for si. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/317685

[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 317634] zypp should try another repository when download failed

Feature added by: Luiz Angelo Daros de Luca (luizluca) Feature #317634, revision 1 Title: zypp should try another repository when download failed openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Luiz Angelo Daros de Luca (luizluca) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: A user can configure multiple repo for the same contents. An example is multiple mirrors addresses or local mirrors. However some mirrors are incomplete (miss debug pkgs) or they can be broken. If zypp try to download from a repo and it fails (download error, wrong hash), it should try to download it from another repo that contains the same package (matching hash). In zypper, this could be optional (ask the user like the abort/retry/ignore) or simply asusmed by default as matching signature might make it secure. Use Case: 1) Add multiple repositories for the same contents (a local mirror - higher priority - and a remote mirror) 2) Sync local repo with the remote one 3) Force a problem (remove or alter a local repo package) 4) Ask zypp to install the modified package 5) zypper should inform that the download/validation failed. It should try to download it from another repo. 6) Download and check is ok 7) Package is installed -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/317634

Feature added by: Sławomir Lach (Lachu) Feature #317631, revision 1 Title: Create KMS based task manager openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sławomir Lach (lachu) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Actually user can use graphical (X11 based) task manager or console tool. My idea is about create single task manager. It will take X11/console session when ctrl+alt+del pressed or be active on some virtual terminal. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/317631
