[New: openFATE 314444] gnome-tweak-tools as default

Feature added by: Jon Cosby (chief_sealth) Feature #314444, revision 1 Title: gnome-tweak-tools as default openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jon Cosby (chief_sealth) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The default Gnome Settings interface has been reduced to bare bones, offering little for personal customization. There are advanced tools, I don't remember what they're called off the top of my head, but these are very complex and difficult to memorize. There's middle ground in the gnome-tweak-tools, offering far more than the default system settings and easy to use even for novice users. Why not make this part of the default installation for Gnome? Add it to the main menu, and let users know it's there. I almost forgot about it upgrading the other day, and had to do some searching. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314444

[New: openFATE 313047] Show screenshots to help user choose which desktop to install
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 Aug '17

Feature added by: Richard Brown (RBrownCCB) Feature #313047, revision 1 Title: Show screenshots to help user choose which desktop to install openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Richard Brown (rbrownccb) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently, when the user chooses the type of Desktop they want to install they are presented with a rather 'boring' menu with lots of text, describing a little about GNOME, KDE, and how they get to choose I would like to see screenshots, possibly even a slideshow, of at least GNOME and KDE if not XFCE & LXDE for users to see and help them make their choice about which desktop environment they wish to install. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We have KDE selected by default, covering the 'I don't care/know just let me install this thing' userbase More advanced users probably have enough knowledge that they never read the text and already have their decision made and go straight to their DE of choice But I think we currently do a disservice to an important demographic of inquisitive users who want to choose but might not have the information yet to make one Right now, a user who doesn't know what GNOME or KDE looks like get nothing from our installer, they have to install it, try it, and if they dont like it, install the other one.. I'd argue this inquisitive demographic of users is one openSUSE is brilliantly placed to serve, as we offer so many options, so let's make it a little easier for them to make an initial choice they will be more likely to like from day 1 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313047

[New: openFATE 312823] Rewrite spec-cleaner into Ruby and make its architecture cleaner
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 Aug '17

05 Aug '17

Feature added by: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) Feature #312823, revision 1 Title: Rewrite spec-cleaner into Ruby and make its architecture cleaner Hackweek VII: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Vincent and I created a small tool Python called spec-cleaner which makes .spec files cleaner and removes some common mistakes and ancient constructs. Nowadays more and more people use it and we'd like to extend it with more features. Unfortunately, this getting harder because all spec-cleaner does is some clever text replacement. We'd need a parser to do some advanced magic so I decided to give it a try and rewrite it in Ruby (which has support for regexeps directly in its syntax and neither me nor Vincent would like to use Perl :-)). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312823

[openFATE 306757] big all in one live dvd/usb img (like knoppix dvd)
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 Aug '17

Feature added by: Bruno Gerz (bogz) Feature #306757, revision 1 Title: big all in one live dvd/usb img (like knoppix dvd) Hackweek IV: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Bruno Gerz (bogz) Description: It would be great to get live dvd images(factory tree). CDs are out, I think ;-) So you would get more feedback for packages, which are not tested by standard gnome- or kde-only live cd testers - and may be, computer magazines are interested too. It`s not so simple to build and solve all dependencies via kiwi for people, not bound in suse or novell, because anything was changed every week ;-) If not possible because of storage size, so may be you can provide periodically a big kiwi konfiguration file(or only for a released openSUSE) with solved dependencies. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306757

Feature added by: Michael Andres (mlandres) Feature #312840, revision 1 Title: Evaluate libzypp thread safety Hackweek VII: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Michael Andres (mlandres) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The are features like FATE#120340 asking for decoupling download and installation, also ideas to speed up initial repository refresh and loading by using parallelism. But before this we need a minimum amount of thread safety in libzypp. I'd like to investigate if and how this is possible. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312840
