[New: openFATE 311019] openFATE and Social Media
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 06 Jun '17

06 Jun '17

Feature added by: Nelson Marques (ketheriel) Feature #311019, revision 1 Title: openFATE and Social Media openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Nelson Marques (ketheriel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: openFATE should have automatic interfacing with openSUSE social media. * All features should be able to be twited (twitter) and 'liked' (facebook). * All added comments should be tweeted automatically. By introducing such behavior we would expand the visibility of openFATE and provide our followers/users with a updated status of what's really happening, therefore showing the clear positive synergies around the Community and fomenting user interaction with openFATE. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Maybe because: * We want higher visibility; * We want higher used feedback; * We want higher user-interaction on the future of openSUSE; * We have nothing to loose by creating such possibility; -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311019

[New: openFATE 309617] customize hostname at install time
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 27 May '17

27 May '17

Feature added by: Alin M Elena (ealin) Feature #309617, revision 1 Title: customize hostname at install time openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Alin M Elena (ealin) Description: IN the automatic configuration mode at install time you cannot specify the hostname... -- which by the way is displayed in your kde menu and of course in the konsole... I find this despicable on aesthetic grounds... Now putting the joke aside I find it strange to give the user the choice to decide what encryption method to use (as a brainless option) but changing the name of the computer to be considered as advanced... I know you can do it by choosing a manual configuration... but for a normal user that may prove a little bit challenging to have to decide on a lot of other things in order just to choose a lousy name for his computer., Alin -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309617

[openFATE 307521] make GRUB text to speech option visible
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 26 May '17

26 May '17

Feature added by: Jan Weber (japa83) Feature #307521, revision 1 Title: make GRUB text to speech option visible openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jan Weber (japa83) Description: GRUB, at least the one on DVD, is able to speak the selections. This can be enabled by pressing the F9 key in GRUB. This feature is not shown in the menu, it would be great to have it visible inside GRUB so people get to know this feature. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307521

[New: openFATE 310621] Get rid of %suse_update_desktop_files
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: Cristian Morales Vega (RedDwarf) Feature #310621, revision 1 Title: Get rid of %suse_update_desktop_files openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Cristian Morales Vega (reddwarf) Description: In less than a month we will have the openSUSE Conference 2010 with the motto "Collaboration across Borders". So I think it's a good time to fix this. The openSUSE Build Service is a great tool, and with mostly just some "Substitutes" you can have a single spec file, mostly without %if's, that will build in any RPM-based distro. Now in my experience one of the most problematic things is the %suse_update_desktop_files macro. That forces to add ugly "%if 0%{?suse_version}" to every package with a .desktop file. One would say openSUSE could just do as Fedora and use freedesktop's desktop-file-install, deprecating %suse_update_desktop_files. But it's my understanding %suse_update_desktop_files is also used, somehow, for translations. I would like to help here. But I don't thing there is much documentation about how translations/X-SuSE-translate/%suse_update_desktop_files exactly work (I have been packaging for some years now and have no idea). But, from my ignorance, I would say that if Fedora can we can also handle translations in a way that doesn't requires of that macro. I don't know, perhaps this can be solved through OBS's prjconf in a way that Fedora/Mandriva targets work even if the spec file uses %suse_update_desktop_files (redefining the macro to use desktop-file-install?) but I'm not sure if that's possible. Otherwise openSUSE should stop using that macro... Perhaps it will take years to fix all packages, but we should at least deprecate it and define a clear path of how this should be done from now. P.S. Any link explaining the translations/X-SuSE-translate/%suse_update_desktop_files is welcome. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310621

[New: openFATE 317810] Support for the x32 ABI

Feature added by: Sven Hartrumpf (sven1999) Feature #317810, revision 1 Title: Support for the x32 ABI openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sven Hartrumpf (sven1999) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The x32 ABI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X32_ABI offers more efficiency for many programs. Now that kernel, gcc, binutils, and libc support x32, it should be possible to provide a pattern (and/or a DVD) for x32. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/317810

Disks are addressed by logical sectors this millenium. It's a bug to show an obsolete, not-convertible unit. serves no purpose unit. The fix to that bug is to show the relevant unit. -- Med Vennlig Hilsen, A. Helge Joakimsen -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312273
