[New: openFATE 310680] Make Icon Theme installer only show .tar.gz themes

Feature added by: 6tr6tr 6tr6tr (6tr6tr) Feature #310680, revision 1 Title: Make Icon Theme installer only show .tar.gz themes openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: 6tr6tr 6tr6tr (6tr6tr) Description: I recently tried installing new icon themes into openSUSE 11.3 via the Configure Desktop app. It showed a lot of themes with an "install" button, but when I pressed it, nothing happened. It turns out, that's because it only installs .tar.gz files and a number of the themes listed are in other formats. So the "Get New Themes..." popup should only show files it can actually install. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310680

Feature added by: Arvin Schnell <aschnell(a)novell.com> Feature #305144, revision 1, last change by Title: [Feature-request] Yast as a Linux learning tool openSUSE-11.1: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Alexey Eremenko <al4321(a)gmail.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Hi All ! I Have very good new idea: converting Yast into a Linux learning tool. This is very simple to achieve: Yast must show the commands it executes and files it modifies, in a nice GUI dialog. It will allow all kinds of Linux users understand how things really work. Enable learn new things or remind how old-but-forgotten things work for seasoned people. Great, isn't it ? P.S. Jay Vollmer recommends, that among the commands that Yast shows as it executing, it should also recommend "man pages" for the relevant underlying commands. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov", 29.jul.2008.

Or, what's under the bonnet, for the Brits. #3: Cyril Hrubis <chrubis(a)novell.com> (2008-07-31 07:11:21) Moving to maintainers to decide. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305144

[openFATE 306972] produce proper diffs for status update mails

02 Jan '18

Feature added by: Karsten König (remur) Feature #306972, revision 1 Title: produce proper diffs for status update mails openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Karsten König (remur) Description: Beeing interested in a very active feature request like https://features.opensuse.org/306967 results in a lot of mails, all which contain the full feature request with all the comments, it'd be nice if one could switch to a more bugzilla like behaviour so you only see what's changed, or in case it is an awnser maybe quote the previous message as well, but finding 4 lines tagged with + in a thread where people feel +1 beeing a proper comment is somewhat awkward. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306972

Afterwards they need to get removed automatically. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305931

[New: openFATE 316634] Change HISTCONTROL default value to ignoredups
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Dec '17

20 Dec '17

Feature added by: Jorge Vallecillo (altmas5) Feature #316634, revision 1 Title: Change HISTCONTROL default value to ignoredups openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jorge Vallecillo (altmas5) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The default value of HISTCONTROL bash enviroment variable should be changed to ignoredups instead of ignoreboth. ignoreboth includes ignorespace, which is a security flaw allowing users to type sensitive commands supressing them from bash_history file and leaving no auditing clue. OpenSUSE should set the tone compared to other distros giving importance needed to security details like these. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Security by default. Minimize risks. Identify malicious users. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316634

[New: openFATE 312047] make repo keys available on project's web site via SSL
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

Feature added by: John McInnes (jamjamjamjam) Feature #312047, revision 1 Title: make repo keys available on project's web site via SSL Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: John McInnes (jamjamjamjam) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I was thinking of a way to get repo keys to users in a secure fashion, so they can have some measure of trust, instead of just blindly accepting/importing new keys when installing software. Personally, before accepting a key, I will usually try to google it by ID or fingerprint, search various gpg key servers, ask on a mailing list or newsgroup for 3rd party verification, etc... its a pain in the ***. So I see that the buildservice provides a https interface to project pages. It would be a nice feature to provide the project repo keys there. At least show ID and fingerprint. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312047
