[openFATE 308135] Upgrade Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) package
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

Feature added by: Martin Hicks (mohicks) Feature #308135, revision 1 Title: Upgrade Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) package Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Martin Hicks (mohicks) Description: OpenSuSE currently ships a fairly dated PCP package (2.5.0). It would be nice if a more modern version of PCP was included. Version 3.0.0 has just been released by the community. Part of the effort to move from 2.9.x to 3.0 was to update some of the packaging to split the libraries out of the core package and to create various -devel packages. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308135

[New: openFATE 309024] Inclusion of swftools
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

Feature added by: Matthew Ayres (Solar_Granulation) Feature #309024, revision 1 Title: Inclusion of swftools Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Matthew Ayres (solar_granulation) Description: As the project website says: "SWFTools is a collection of utilities for working with Adobe Flash files (SWF files). The tool collection includes programs for reading SWF files, combining them, and creating them from other content (like images, sound files, videos or sourcecode). SWFTools is released under the GPL." Of course many say that Flash is becoming obsolete, but it is still widely used and very popular. Not only is it used in web desgin, but also as a platform for Multitouch development. Swftools, being open and stable, would make an excellent addition to the openSUSE standard repository. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309024

Feature added by: Eric Renfro (psi-jack) Feature #309954, revision 1 Title: keepalived Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Eric Renfro (psi-jack) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: keepalived is used for monitoring real servers within a Linux Virtual Server (LVS) cluster. keepalived can be configured to remove real servers from the cluster pool if it stops responding, as well as send a notification email to make the admin aware of the service failure. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: keepalived is a very nice, simple, and yet powerful failover monitoring system as well as LVS director engine. pacemaker can be nice, but in many cases it may be too much for the job needed, this is where keepalived can come in and make a network router with backup completely available. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309954

[New: openFATE 310338] Always create /root/autoyast.xml for every installation
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

Feature added by: Darryl Miles (dlmiles) Feature #310338, revision 1 Title: Always create /root/autoyast.xml for every installation openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Darryl Miles (dlmiles) Description: Distribution such as RHEL (and any of its blood line) always leave a file /root/anaconda.ks which can be used to repeat the installation via their anaconda/kickstart process. The parallel to this with openSUSE is YaST2 and AutoYaST. The feature request is asking that at the end of every installation in the home directory of the root user the necessary file or files are created to allow the user to repeast the installation with the same options. If multiple files are needed then it maybe better provided as a single file using any archiver (tar/cpio/zip). Also making sure this format could be used directly with AutoYaST. There should be a YaST2 option to disable the emitting of configuration but the default should be to enabled it just like with RHEL. The process of making the user use another program to create an autoyast.xml descriptor is no where near as efficient as running through the entire installation process once and knowing you always get a descriptor out at the end of it. Which you can then if you like open up the editor to modify. This has far superior usability IMHO. If there are concerns over encoding hashed/encrypted passwords into the file then the generation of this installation configuration to file(s) in the root users home directory should have a tri-state value. * Off (meaning do no create any files), * On (meaning to create file(s) in the root home directory that would be necessary to perform the installation that just happened again with a new set of defaults and mostly unattended, however any security sensitive information such as passwords would not be included at all, this would be the new default for everyone), * On with Passwords (meaning the same as On but any security senstive information would also be emitted in the best possible way to retain as much security as possible, for example the password hash is in the file no the plain text password). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310338
