[openFATE 306896] Zypp-proxy - A proxy cache server for zypper updates

Feature added by: Alex Tsariounov (tsariounov) Feature #306896, revision 1 Title: Zypp-proxy - A proxy cache server for zypper updates Hackweek IV: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Alex Tsariounov (tsariounov) Description: This project will create zypp-proxy which is a server proxy used for caching update packages that are used by machines on the local network on a locally designated host machine that acts as a proxy to the openSUSE updates repositories. The project is similar in function and requirements to the Debian project apt-proxy, details of which can be found here: http://apt-proxy.sourceforge.net/ This project is useful for those who run many local (both physical and virtual) openSUSE machines and like to keep them up to date with updates; however, they do not wish to waste bandwidth for downloading the same updates over and over to all local machines whether when keeping exisiting machines up to date, or building new machines and having to re-download all updates yet again. For some people, simply mirroring the entire openSUSE updates repository is sufficient to provide local network updates; however, for most, since they do not use near as many packages as that repository provides, doing this simply wastes disk space. These people will find zypp-proxy most useful. Both server and client setup will be quite simple. The server will use the public openSUSE updates repositories to check for updates. The clients will point to the local server (the proxy) machine for updates rather than the public servers. When a client requests an update, the zypp-proxy server first checks if the public server has a more up to date package that what it has cached locally. If the public server doesn't, then zypp-proxy serves the locally cached package. If the public server does have a more up to date package, then zypp-proxy first downloads it to its local cache and then serves it to the client. How many old versions of packages to keep will be a configurable. The first implementation will support openSUSE 11.1 only, with support for other openSUSE releases following suit. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306896

[New: openFATE 317762] git mirror integration
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #317762, revision 1 Title: git mirror integration Buildservice: New Milestone: 2.7 Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: OBS can already roll tar balls from git (or other SCM systems) on code change, however, this has two disadvantages: * source server needs to store new tar ball for each change * using files as build descriptions is only working via workarounds. A full git (and only git, not svn,..) support would allow to mirror an entire git tree on the source server and fetch only updates. This means we need to * build tar balls at build time (since package systems like rpm rely on it) * ensure that a rewritten git history can not drop sources of former builds. * allow mirroring of either * * package sources only * * entirely on package level, including .spec files -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/317762

[New: openFATE 316517] 32bit version of padsp in 64bit openSUSE
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 27 Jun '16

Feature added by: Mircea Kitsune (MirceaKitsune) Feature #316517, revision 1 Title: 32bit version of padsp in 64bit openSUSE openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Mircea Kitsune (mirceakitsune) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I've been trying to fix a Linux game for which sound wasn't working. After some searching, I found that I must run it with the "padsp" command. However, the game is 32 bit and I run 64 bit openSUSE, so "padsp ./game_binary" wouldn't work. I searched for a padsp32 command and even tried to replicate the padsp script, but the library for the x32 version doesn't exist in the x64 repositories. Eventually I got it working by extracting libpulsedsp.so from the x32 openSUSE repos, and manually launching the binary with a LD_PRELOAD pointing to it. This is a workaround and maintaining it can become problematic. The existing library can be found in /usr/lib64/pulseaudio/libpulsedsp.so and the script in /usr/bin/padsp. Basically, I'm asking for x32 bit versions of these in the x64 variant of openSUSE, so any 32bit program can benefit from them too. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Only the 64bit version of padsp is included. Therefore, only 64bit programs can make use of it. Including the 32bit variant in the 32bit pulseaudio package for 64bit openSUSE would solve this problem. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316517

[New: openFATE 315140] Kernel: CONFIG_TCP_MD5SIG needed for quagga
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 14 Jun '16

14 Jun '16

Feature added by: Marc Langer (marclanger) Feature #315140, revision 1 Title: Kernel: CONFIG_TCP_MD5SIG needed for quagga openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Marc Langer (marclanger) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Quagga bgpd allows the configuration of MD5 protected BGP sessions, but the kernel does not have this activated. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Our BGP peers require MD5 but the SuSE Kernel is compiled without CONFIG_TCP_MD5SIG. It takes a long time to find this issue because in the default configuration quagga is not logging properly that this option is missing in the kernel. Each time we have to compile an own kernel. Please activate this in future versions. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/315140

As the Yafray render engine for Blender is not longer developed I apreciate if you would replace it with the Yafaray render engine in one of the next openSUSE versions. Or maybe it is possible to make a package for the repositories to download. Thank you very much for your efforts. Best regards rebe -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307884
