Feature added by: Carlo Strata (carlo_strata) Feature #310982, revision 1 Title: Please add Lightspark as a standard avant-garde/forefront browser flash player Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Carlo Strata (carlo_strata) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I think Lightspark https://launchpad.net/lightspark is an avant-garde/forefront browser flash player with modern hardware support design and written from scratch. We could find it only on Packman repository, but both gnash and swfdec are in standard OpenSuSE repository (swfdec in Packman one too and in a more recent version). Are there too some language (flash, swf files) legal troubles? Carlo Use Case: Browser safer and efficiently with this plugin. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: If we could live free, but with a modern design plugin it's better. I'm tired to live with my CPU at least at 45% load with 64 bit flash player "Square" p3: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310982

[New: openFATE 318468] New Packages Group
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 26 Jun '17

Feature added by: Rajesh Ganesan (ganesanrajesh) Feature #318468, revision 1 Title: New Packages Group openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Rajesh Ganesan (ganesanrajesh) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: In Yast package management, we have filters (Package groups) like suggested, recommended, orphaned, unneeded, etc which are very useful indeed. However, a new filter/group like "new" would be very useful. It would help users to find newly introduced packages. Use Case: It is not now possible to find a new package. Updates can be found out - say, blue color. A different color can be used for such new packages Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Suppose, a package is not found in opensuse at a point of time. When it is later introduced, an average user, who may be waiting for this, may not be aware of such package. Using this filter, he would find it immediately. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/318468

I wish to know, what was changed on my system. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This could be helpful in case, whereas many people uses one computer. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/319719

[New: openFATE 314730] useradd -s should accept shell basename
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 26 Jun '17

Feature added by: Ned Ulbricht (ned_ulbricht) Feature #314730, revision 1 Title: useradd -s should accept shell basename openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ned Ulbricht (ned_ulbricht) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: This proposed feature is one possible way to deal with Bug 796242 - "pcsc-lite: preinstall scriptlet adds user scard with bad path for nologin shell". Currently, the absolute location of the executable for system users' shells is coded into rpm preinstall scriptlets scattered across packages throughout the distro. I propose centralizing that knowledge into useradd. Thus, for instance * useradd -s nologin newaccount * useradd -s dash newaccount would both be acceptable and would result in a lookup of the correct executable path before user account creation. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314730
