Feature added by: Roger Luedecke (Shadowolf7) Feature #313048, revision 1 Title: Require all packages with books to install to common directory and symlink home Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Roger Luedecke (shadowolf7) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Many books and manuals can be installed from repos. Most go in to some space in the /usr/share. Require all books and manuals that do not have their own interface (such as KDE help or man pages) to install to one common e-book directory (/usr/share/ebooks?) and to create a symlink in users home directories (under Documents probably, or a new Books directory). Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: New users will see books or manuals and add the package, but not know where the files are. This would alleviate that issue. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313048

Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jedi Beeftrix (jedibeeftrix) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: One of the reasons for rejecting telepathy in 12.2 was the inability to import logs from kopete: https://features.opensuse.org/313475 That appears to be rectified in the upcoming 0.6 version: http://www.progdan.cz/2012/11/importing-kopete-logs-to-kde-telepathy-sure/?… Is is now time to make the change?

[New: openFATE 314868] Add Smart GUI Monitor Application
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 May '15

Feature added by: Stanley Miller (stan_qaz) Feature #314868, revision 1 Title: Add Smart GUI Monitor Application Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Stanley Miller (stan_qaz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: This GUI version has been around for a long time but only exists as an unstable version: gsmartcontrol - Hard disk drive health inspection tool GSmartControl is a graphical user interface for smartctl (from smartmontools pac kage), which is a tool for querying and controlling SMART (Self-Monitoring, Anal ysis, and Reporting Technology) data on modern hard disk drives. It allows you t o inspect the drive's SMART data to determine its health, as well as run various tests on it. http://software.opensuse.org/package/gsmartcontrol ------ It would be nice if this could be reviewed and possibly promoted to a stable status and included in the stable repository and possibly even installed by default and an entry added to the System - Monitor menu. Use Case: SMART is very useful in checking your disk health and current status but openSUSE only offers a command line version that isn't simple to use. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: The GUI version is much easier for a novice to find and use. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314868
