Feature added by: Ashwin G (ash25) Feature #310177, revision 1 Title: Yast Package Management - return to the search window after installing packages openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ashwin G (ash25) Description: Currently in the GUI based Yast's Package management tool, after you select some packages to install and you click Install, it performs the download and installation. After it is complete it closes the application and comes out. Instead it would be good if again the search box to install further packages is displayed after installing few packages, i.e. go back to the initial view in the application again. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310177

[New: openFATE 318392] Install into btrfs subvolume
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 27 Jan '15

Feature added by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Feature #318392, revision 1 Title: Install into btrfs subvolume Requested by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: If you do a rollback of SLE12 the very first time, the original root volume is no longer reacheable and will never be automatically removed, means we have a disk space leak here. The reason is, that the original installation is not a subvolume/snapshot and thus will not show up in /.snapshots. If we install on btrfs, and snapshots/rollback is enabled, we should instead install into a subvolume /.snapshots/1/snapshot and make that the new root. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Fix a very huge disk space leak problem. Discussion: #1: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) (2015-01-23 14:58:31) Arvin, I think you can describe better, how the initial instannation into a subvolume has to look like, that we see it later in /.snapshots/ ? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/318392

[New: openFATE 318400] Yast Software Management: Make the software selection UI use PNG files and put them into theme package

Feature added by: Lukas Ocilka (locilka) Feature #318400, revision 1 Title: Yast Software Management: Make the software selection UI use PNG files and put them into theme package Requested by: Kenneth Wimer (kwwii) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Software selection (libyui-qt-pkg) uses XPM files for dialog items such as patch/package states. The current standard for these are PNG files which are easier to handle from design perspective. Bug #868871 also states, that these new PNG files should be placed in theme and thus SLE could use different set of images for SLE/openSUSE or installation/running system. References: SUSE Bugzilla #868871 Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Software selection in installation and on a running system could use different UI theme. Or just "some" theme. Now it can't. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/318400

Feature added by: Felix Ruess (flixr) Feature #318363, revision 1 Title: add support for arm architecture for Debian builds Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Felix Ruess (flixr) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Would be great to add support for building Debian packages on the armv7l (if possible armv6l as well) architecture. Currently you can even try to enable builds for ARM, but it results in the packages marked with status "unresolvable" due to missing dependencies. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/318363

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #315077, revision 1 Title: Project Link: option to inherit flags from linked projects Buildservice: Evaluation by engineering manager Milestone: 2.5 Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Desirable Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Setups in which entire projects gets rebuild on each change struggle with the problem that the flags of the linked project are not taken into account. We need to introduce a flag in the link definition to optionally take over the flags, eg: <link project="openSUSE:1.0" meta="true" /> backend: needs to take it into account api: stores flag and take care on flag state calculation webui: are there places where webui has still own logic for calculating flag states? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/315077
