Title: allow repository specification in project meta xml
Buildservice: Evaluation
Priority
Requester: Important
Projectmanager: Important
Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse)
Description:
We have currently to set Type, Repotype and Patterntype in project conf data. That makes it hard to add an images repo easily with a gui that works.
Before creating code interpreting the prjconf, I would like to suggest to extend repository xml element to define this as default.
Opinions ?
Feature is completed when we have an "Add kiwi images repository" button.

Title: Provide Kwallet integration for Firefox
openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed

Requester: Desirable
Requested by: Jimmy Berry (boombatower)
Description:
I have wanted such a feature for sometime and recently discoved https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/49357 via identi.ca talk. Since openSUSE 11.2 includes KDE integration for Firefox, I think this would be a great thing to either add/finish/polish or just defaultly include as part of integration.

Title: central system user registry
openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed
Priority
Requester: Important
Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel)
Partner organization: openSUSE.org
Description:
Once upon a time all systems users were defined in aaa_base via the default /etc/passwd file. When the uid space below uid 100 got too small a new dynamic range between 100 and 499 was introduced. So nowadays packages dynamically create a user in %pre which gets a random uid in this range. Disadvantage: uids are different on every system. Usually this is not a problem but for programs that export files over the network it is. TV recordings made by VDR for example. useradd has a --preferred-uid option for such cases. It's possible to specify a uid and useradd tries to use it. If it's already taken another one is chosen.
Thefore I'd propose to leverage that feature: - introduce a central uid registry for system users, e.g a file in aaa_base - lower SYSTEM_UID_MAX (/etc/login.defs) to e.g. 349 and assign "preferred uids" in the rage 350-499. - change useradd calls in packages to a macro that transparently decides whether a preferred uid needs to be used.
Use Case:
- two systems running vdr, one for recording, the other one for playback on a TV want to share recordings via nfs.

Title: Make Icon Theme installer only show .tar.gz themes
openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed
Priority
Requester: Important
Requested by: 6tr6tr 6tr6tr (6tr6tr)
Description:
I recently tried installing new icon themes into openSUSE 11.3 via the Configure Desktop app. It showed a lot of themes with an "install" button, but when I pressed it, nothing happened. It turns out, that's because it only installs .tar.gz files and a number of the themes listed are in other formats. So the "Get New Themes..." popup should only show files it can actually install.

Title: [Feature-request] Yast as a Linux learning tool
openSUSE-11.1: New
Priority
Requester: Desirable
Requested by: Alexey Eremenko <al4321(a)gmail.com>
Partner organization: openSUSE.org
Description:
Hi All !
I Have very good new idea: converting Yast into a Linux learning tool.
This is very simple to achieve: Yast must show the commands it executes and files it modifies, in a nice GUI dialog.
It will allow all kinds of Linux users understand how things really work. Enable learn new things or remind how old-but-forgotten things work for seasoned people.
Great, isn't it ?
P.S. Jay Vollmer recommends, that among the commands that Yast shows as it executing, it should also recommend "man pages" for the relevant underlying commands.

If one wants to see what is gong on in background, than look at logs in realtime. There is console (Konsole) and command tail. Run as root:

Sounds like a great way for new users to learn more about what's under the hood. Or, what's under the bonnet, for the Brits.

Moving to maintainers to decide.

Description:
I am thinking about the importance of those two features being included in openSUSE's Brand of Firefox, in case the user needs or feels like filing a bug or requesting and/or checking new features, For new users it'd become a much easier task having those items bookmarked by default.

Description:
Beeing interested in a very active feature request like https://features.opensuse.org/306967 results in a lot of mails, all which contain the full feature request with all the comments, it'd be nice if one could switch to a more bugzilla like behaviour so you only see what's changed, or in case it is an awnser maybe quote the previous message as well, but finding 4 lines tagged with + in a thread where people feel +1 beeing a proper comment is somewhat awkward.

Title: Temporary Build Support (aka mbuild)
Buildservice: Evaluation
Priority
Requester: Important
Projectmanager: Important
Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse)
Description:
A temporary build support is wanted to obsolete what we currently have internal as mbuild. A temporary Build should fullfill the following requirements:
* Upload of local sources without the need to create a project or package namespace manually.
* Build as part of an existing project, without the need to have write access there and without to modify it.
* Build results should be stored and downloadable for X time. Afterwards they need to get removed automatically.
