Feature added by: Dominique Leuenberger (dimstar) Feature #319035, revision 1 Title: Make YaST (incl. modules available in GNOME Software openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Dominique Leuenberger (dimstar) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: GNOME Software is an other way of handling installations. Instead of being package centric, it is application centric. An application is being represented by means of an appdata.xml file in it's setup (installed to /usr/share/appdata), then a metadata parser extracts this info and produces 'AppStream' metadata (to be consumed by software centers) In order to make extensions/plugins to applications discoverable, a package can add a metainfo.xml file to the same location and have itself listed as an extension/addon to the application. For YaST, this results in: - an appdata.xml file being provided together with YaST.desktop (done) - For all yast modules to install a metainfo.xml file, describin their extensive nature to yast. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/319035

[New: openFATE 324909] speed up staging setup and rebuild

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #324909, revision 1 Title: speed up staging setup and rebuild Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Staging projects have to rebuild quite often which takes a lot of time and resources. Maybe OBS could speed that up by taking some shortcuts. Some ideas by an unqualified external: * using ccache to speed up rebuilds without source changes. Could be implemented by project or project group for example. * have some cloning feature that also copies binaries and does not lead to immediate rebuild. That would allow to setup a new staging or rebase one in no time by cloing all packages including their binaries from rings. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/324909
