[New: openFATE 319444] zypper lp: add option to display description of each patch
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Sep '15

12 Sep '15

Feature added by: Markus Kuhn (m_kuhn) Feature #319444, revision 1 Title: zypper lp: add option to display description of each patch openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Markus Kuhn (m_kuhn) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: It would be nice to have a way for zypper to display a list of all available patches, including their description text. At present, the only way I can get "zypper lp" to display the description of each patch is to call it with "zypper -x lp" and read the <description> elements in the XML output. However, XML is a machine format, barely readable to humans. It would be nice if there were an option to see the content of <description> also in plain-text output. Perhaps "zypper -v lp" could be extended to that effect? Or a new option "zypper lp -d" (in analogy to "zypper search -d") to also display descriptions? Or at least an option "zypper -t lp" to get terse output with only the patch names, such that I can write zypper patch-info `zypper --terse lp` to get the description of all currently available patches (even though, patch-info is a bit too verbose, if the description is all I am interested in). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/319444

08 Sep '15

Feature added by: Sławomir Lach (Lachu) Feature #319434, revision 1 Title: GRUBYast - option to mark entry unrestricted openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sławomir Lach (lachu) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Allow user to mark some entry of GRUB2 in Yast unrestricted, so they can use it without password. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: There's two reasons to made it. 1. Better protection 2. Avoid to loss password First is about disallow to stole password, when typing and fever users must know the password(if default entry was unprotected, then only admin must know passoword) Second is about possibility of loss password. When i forgot admin password, i still can run system in single mode by typing grub password or change grub password by login to root(it depends on which password I forgot). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/319434

Feature added by: Mindaugas Baranauskas (embar-) Feature #318306, revision 1 Title: Systemd service to catch crashed X, try to auto repair it and restart openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important SUSE Studio: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Mindaugas Baranauskas (embar-) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: We could have solution automatically detect, if X.Org X Server terminated with error. Then we could try repair X configuration and restart X server. Test Case: That case encouraged me to write systemd service and script, which temporaly is named as check-x-failed. You can download it as systemd-check-x-failed-service RPM package: http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Aembar-%3ALietukas… Source is here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:embar-:Lietukas/systemd-check-… This is included in openSUSE based appliance âLietukasâ ( https://susestudio.com/a/CttYWz/lietukas-13-2-64-bit ) Use Case: This is very important now as we swithed to system and much system modules are included in initrd. This my cose much problems, e.g. then we we boot from LiveCD/LiveUSB. One problematic case described here: http://suse-studio-users.1598176.n2.nabble.com/Tesdrive-OK-but-does-not-dir… -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/318306

Feature added by: Michal Marek (michal-m) Feature #319414, revision 1 Title: Hermes filter for requests targetting one's packages in Factory Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Michal Marek (michal-m) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: If another packager bypasses the bugowner and submits a package to Factory or a released distribution, the bugowner should receive a notification about the request. Currently, the reviewers decline 3rd party requests targetting some notorious packages like the kernel, but there is no such process for most other packages. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/319414
