Feature added by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Feature #313541, revision 1 Title: Get rid of SuSEconfig.ghostscript-cjk 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 ofthe post-install of the package. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313541

[New: openFATE 310963] Make openSUSE releases with more life time than 18 months.

Feature added by: Rafael Belmonte (EagleScreen) Feature #310963, revision 1 Title: Make openSUSE releases with more life time than 18 months. openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Rafael Belmonte (eaglescreen) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: It would be nice if OpenSUSE would make special releases which have much life time than 18 months, as like as Ubuntu does with its LTS releases. Ubuntu release a LTS version each two years, and they have five years of support, updates, and repository life. OpenSUSE could adopt a similar policy about this. Believe me, many people love to can install an OS and not have to touch it in years, and this is a main reason about why I deploy Ubuntu LTS releases in some systems instead of OpenSUSE. Use Case: Robert call to his nephew, Richard, and request him to install Linux in his computer. Richard thinks in OpenSUSE as first choice, but when Richard tells Robert that OpenSUSE will expire in 18 months, Roberts ask Richard to install another distribution with more Life-time, because Robert is scared about facing an OS upgrade or installation, and Richard won't be in the country at that date. Mary wants to install a GNU/Linux distribution for the computer she uses in her business, she dudes about to install OpenSUSE or Ubuntu, and after thinking a few time about it, she decides to install Ubuntu LTS because she won't need to upgrade or reinstall the OS until four years, which is much comfortable for her situation. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: 18 months of support is not always enough for many users. Many people hates having to upgrade or install a new OS each 18 months. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310963

Feature added by: Frank Helbo (fhc) Feature #306752, revision 1 Title: Login by fingerprint openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Frank Helbo (fhc) Description: Many laptops today comes with fingerprint readers. I even got it working in openSuSE 11.0, but it was a bit complicated. Why not enable this feature by default and have et integrated in the About me dialog, soo you can scan you finger just like changing password? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306752

Feature added by: Agustin Chavarria (dj_ubun_1) Feature #312551, revision 1 Title: opensuse CENTER openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Agustin Chavarria (dj_ubun_1) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: We have a big competidor, that's ubuntu, they have the ubuntu center to install all the software in their OS, and this center is easy to use, more easy than yast or zypper. An option like this would be amazing in opensuse, if we want more users. =) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312551

[New: openFATE 312468] Project Bretzn app-store to be integrated into opensuse 12.1
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 03 Feb '15

Feature added by: Jedi Beeftrix (Jedibeeftrix) Feature #312468, revision 1 Title: Project Bretzn app-store to be integrated into opensuse 12.1 openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jedi Beeftrix (jedibeeftrix) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: http://news.opensuse.org/2010/10/26/from-the-developer-to-the-user-and-back… Purpose: 1. Make it easy for developers to release an application 2. Make it easy for developers to market and for users to learn about that application 3. Make it easy for users to install the application Project Bretzn consists of three parts: the building of the package, the publishing of the application, the marketing to the users and the feedback cycle back to the developer. The building part consists of plugins for IDEâs and integration with Build Services and using Lubos Lunakâs OBS Generator (yes, still looking for a new name ) to automatically generate cross-platform build files. Publishing sends the app to a variety of App Stores and then markets it through announcing it on Facebook, Twitter, via a RSS feed and the Social Desktop . Finally, users can provide feedback by rating the application and commenting on it, by writing bug reports and send messages to mailing lists or forums. And all of that with one click (well, maybe a few more). Status (as of Linuxtag 2011): http://www.slideshare.net/karlitschek/project-betzn-linuxtag-2011 This sounds like the kind of thing we want! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312468

And all of that with one click (well, maybe a few more). Status: Over 70% of the work is done already and the team is aiming to ship in December. They are working with other openSUSE developers to make a proof-of-concept App Store for openSUSE using OBS and the other integration which will hopefully ship in the upcoming openSUSE 11.4 release.

[openFate 305099] please have yast do a fsck before attempting to mount existing filesystems
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

Feature added by: Arvin Schnell <aschnell(a)novell.com> Feature #305099, revision 1, last change by Title: please have yast do a fsck before attempting to mount existing filesystems openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Per Jessen <per.jessen(a)enidan.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I was doing a new install, but wanted to keep my /home filesystem (JFS). No problem, except that the filesystem wasn't clean and needed an fsck. As far as I can tell, yast didn't do this, so mounting of the /home filesystem failed, which caused the entirely installation process to abend and start over. Discussion: #1: Stefan Hundhammer <sh(a)novell.com> (2008-02-21 06:26:43) I'd really hate to have my 100+ GB ext3 partitions fscked. That takes forever. #2: Per Jessen <per.jessen(a)enidan.com> (2008-02-21 07:15:33) Even when they're clean? It's done on every bootup anyway. See /etc/init.d/boot.localfs #3: Jozef Uhliarik <juhliarik(a)novell.com> (2008-02-21 08:21:41) What is your opinion Thomas? #4: Thomas Fehr <fehr(a)novell.com> (2008-02-21 08:24:13) That would need an feature request, not a bug report. #6: Stephan Kulow <coolo(a)novell.com> (2008-02-21 12:04:27) I think it's not too uncommon that people reinstall their system _because_ the old one had a problem, so dirty file systems may not be too uncommon. #7: Thomas Fehr <fehr(a)novell.com> (2008-02-25 03:00:03) What the customer described happens on JFS, this is an unsupported filesystem exactly for the reason that it behaves quite fundamentally different to most other filesystems. Filesystems like ext3 or reiser simply do their log reply when they are dirty and all is fine. So if you want such things to be added, please specify it as a feature request. Since there needs to be an interactive user interface to the filesystem check program this is in no way a simple change. Or would you prefer for example do a rebuild of reiserfs internal tree as default without asking the user first? Problem is that the questions the filesystem check tools ask the user are quite special and of course totally different for different filesystem types. #8: Duncan Mac-Vicar <dmacvicar(a)novell.com> (2008-07-17 08:13:00) I happen to suffer from this bug too once. I think the bug is not that the installation cleans the disk, but at least say that is not clean instead of crashing (in my case it was an installation where yast thought the disk was mounted but it was not) #9: Arvin Schnell <aschnell(a)novell.com> (2008-07-17 08:22:23) No time for 11.1. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305099
