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.

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.
