Feature added by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Feature #309367, revision 1 Title: Suggest packagekit to quit when it conflicts with yast sw_single openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Description: In response to zypper sending a quit signal to packagekit when packagekitd conflicts with its operation as outlined in Bug 580513 (bugzilla.novell.com) the same should be implemented for the software management module in YaST since it is more visible there and novice users who are most likely to be confused by the conflict in question usually use the GUI more than the command line interface of zypper. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309367

[New: openFATE 318252] 32-bit UEFI boot in 64-bit build
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: David Poole (dspoole-novell) Feature #318252, revision 1 Title: 32-bit UEFI boot in 64-bit build openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: David Poole (dspoole-novell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Allow for 64-bit versions of openSUSE to boot on to 32-bit UEFI hardware and allow for installation. Thus, hardware that supports only 32-bit UEFI and not legacy boot in BIOS yet has 64-bit processors (typically Intel Atom) would let openSUSE 64-bit install. Use Case: Some Ubuntu users have created a work-around to get their 64-bit kernel version installed on Dell Venue/Toshiba Encore Mini-series tablets using a custom 32-bit UEFI boot. This is not officially supported by Ubuntu but there has been some interest in getting Linux onto the sub-$200 tablet market. However, because it is basically a hack to do so and only on specific hardware, only the bravest Ubuntu users have accomplished this task. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: There is a surge of low-end tablets starting to appear on the market. See the HP Stream 7 and 8 series, which start at $99 and $149 respectively. These tablets are equipped with quad-core Intel Atom Z3735G 1.83GHz 64-bit processors but are saddled with a 32-bit UEFI BIOS that does not support Legacy BIOS boot. As such, it is currently impossible to install openSUSE on this hardware since 32-bit legacy versions of openSUSE only support Legacy BIOS booting and 64-bit versions only support 64-bit UEFI booting. Since Linux kernel 3.14, the ability to boot from 32-bit UEFI into a 64-bit kernel has been supported. By supporting a 32-bit UEFI boot and a 64-bit kernel, openSUSE could open the door to installation on a new market of low-cost tablets and thus introduce openSUSE as an alternative to Microsoft Windows 8.1 32-bit which currently is the only option as an operating system. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/318252

[openFATE 306899] Porting OSC to Symbian platform
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: Andrew Wafaa (FunkyPenguin) Feature #306899, revision 1 Title: Porting OSC to Symbian platform Hackweek IV: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Andrew Wafaa (funkypenguin) Description: My intention is to try and port the great Build Service's OSC tool to the Symbian platform. This will enable users to keep on top of Build Service tasks even whilst on the move. I will use PyS60 to create the installable package and use the latest code available in SVN. The only aspect that I forsee users not being able to do is to actually do a local build, but all other functions should work without issue. Use Case: I'm sat in a cafe enjoying the scenary with a croissant and cup of coffee and I receive an e-mail from Hermes advising of a submit request on a project that I'm the maintainer of. I can then accept/decline the request there and then, rather than having to ssh into my machine at home and do it. It will also be possible to create new packages etc directly from my device. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306899
