[New: openFATE 321095] Add on option (GRUB|SUSE)_DEVICETREE_FILE for grub2
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 29 Jul '16

Feature added by: Loic Devulder (ldevulde) Feature #321095, revision 1 Title: Add on option (GRUB|SUSE)_DEVICETREE_FILE for grub2 Requested by: Loic Devulder (ldevulde) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Add an option to grub2 config file (/etc/default/grub) to be able to specify a devicetree custom file before loading linux kernel, using the 'devicetree' option of grub. I have made a patch and test it: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:ldevulde:branches:Base:System/… Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I'm testing openSUSE (and SLES) on ARM64 servers and I ran into an issue with the default DT integrated into the UEFI of my server. To correct/workaround my problem I had to load a custom DT using the 'devicetree' option of grub2. But the main problem is that I didn't find a way to add it properly in the grub.cfg file without hacking the file (which is very bad)! So, I've made a small patch to add a new option called GRUB_DEVICETREE_FILE in /etc/default/grub file. I also compiled a new grub2 version with this patch and tested it successfully on my servers. I opened a bug/fate on the official grub bugtracker (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48358) but it seems to have low activity... So, I try to submit my patch for official inclusion in the openSUSE grub2 version. PS: I know that a 'dtb' option exists in the kernel for loading a custom DT from efi but I wasn't able to make it work. And I think it's easier and more cleaner to use the grub2 option. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/321095

[New: openFATE 319632] Grub2: Scan custom.cfg for grub2-once
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

Feature added by: Egbert Eich (eeich) Feature #319632, revision 1 Title: Grub2: Scan custom.cfg for grub2-once Requested by: Egbert Eich (eeich) Requested by: Egbert Eich (eeich) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: grub2-once is used to test grub menu entries which may not boot. This feature is often used by developers. However menu entries for testing are frequently added to custom.cfg. Therefore this file should be scanned as well so that boot entries from it can be selected. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/319632

[New: openFATE 321000] zypper: list packages installed explicitly
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 07 Jul '16

07 Jul '16

Feature added by: Joachim Wagner (jowagner) Feature #321000, revision 1 Title: zypper: list packages installed explicitly openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Joachim Wagner (jowagner) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: As per https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/495792-List-all-installed-packag… , list all packages that have been explicitly installed, that is the list should be all installed packages except those that have been automatically selected. (Good question is whether also to exclude packages selected by the user during installation. Maybe this should be optional.) A command line solution is: grep '|root@'`hostname` /var/log/zypp/history | grep '|install|' Related feature request: #310752 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/321000

Use Case: Please see https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=977882 for issues with install. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Accessibility allows more fair and equal access to people with impairments.

[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
