Feature added by: Francesco Noacco (FireLink) Feature #314590, revision 1 Title: Personal repository openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Francesco Noacco (firelink) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Raise your hand if you burn the CD/DVD distributions: Son many years that I do not do more, it's inconvenient and annoying. And yet I look forward to many more years that some "pious soul" to finally carry out a synchronization to a central database certified with the signatures of the packages certificates to authenticate the packages downloaded from anywhere you want. In this way, it would be theoretically possible to keep track of any downgrade or even preferred embodiments of the programs used. Furthermore, it would end the ridiculous distribution of large dvd or cd that you just downloaded many are already being updated, at times, heavily! Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: - To reduce the internet traffic that would be better handled by proxy servers without wasting portions of identical data. - To promote the dissemination of the system as they are more flexible. - Why it will be much more practical circular with a hdd or a usb stick (now greatly capacious and fast) rather than a case full of cd/dvd or fanciful escamotages to overcome this. Etc.. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314590

[New: openFATE 314852] Change dependencies
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Nov '16

Feature added by: Peter Tselios (tpe) Feature #314852, revision 1 Title: Change dependencies openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Peter Tselios (tpe) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Please change the dependencies of: * autoyast2-installation * libstorage3 * libstorage4 * patterns-openSUSE-yast2_install_wf * yast2-add-on * yast2-backup * yast2-bootloader * yast2-http-server * yast2-inetd * yast2-installation * yast2-ldap-client * yast2-mail * yast2-network * yast2-restore * yast2-samba-server * yast2-storage * yast2-sudo from multipath-tools package. I don't believe that home users use SANs... Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Most users don't even know what a SAN is, not to mention that Fibre channel is not an option for the vast majority of openSUSE users. Thus, the dependency of all those yast2 packages from the multipath-tools package is simply wrong. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314852

[New: openFATE 314729] Include oracle java JRE installer rpm in non-oss repo
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Nov '16

Feature added by: Shekhar Neupane (wildnux) Feature #314729, revision 1 Title: Include oracle java JRE installer rpm in non-oss repo openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Shekhar Neupane (wildnux) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Many new users find it very hard to install Java JRE in after they install opensuse distro. Since Oracle does not allow distributions to package java rpms, it would be great if there was some package in the non-oss repository that would download the installer from oracle's server and install java automatically for the user. I have created one project in build service for such package which would run installation script while installing and uninstallation script while uninstalling the package: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=oracle-java7-installer&proj… Note: that is just one quick workaround, which can be greatly improved to provide a better workaround for easier java installation. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Because oracle does not let distributions to package java anymore, and new users always have trouble installing it correctly. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314729

After update completed, system would shut down. We also can show list of updated and running application to user after each update.

Of course, user can restart application, but there's no message and there can be other application that gets injuryied after update. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/318493

[New: openFATE 313317] Change the name "one-click install" to something more accurate
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Feature added by: Drew Adams (Druonysus) Feature #313317, revision 1 Title: Change the name "one-click install" to something more accurate openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Drew Adams (druonysus) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The name "One-Click Install" I s very missleading. Anyone who uses it *knows* what I mean here... there is far more than one click to install something with a "One-Click Install". So, I think we should recognize this and rename it something sane if we don not plan to fix it technically. A few names I have thought of are: Kick-Off Install Start Install Easy Install I am sure, given more time I can come up with others but I lean most toward Kick-Off Install. I think it is the most accurate. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313317
