Feature changed by: Genix Info (genixinfo) Feature #312631, revision 13 Title: openSUSE Linux 12.1: Follow all specifications (minimum requirements)... openSUSE Distribution: Rejected by Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) reject reason: United Linux is obsolete Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Genix Info (genixinfo) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: openSUSE Linux 12.1: Follow all specifications (minimum requirements) of the United Linux (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Linux) : * Linux kernel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel) 2.4.18 or higher * GNU C Library (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_C_Library) 2.2.5 * Linux Standard Base (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Standard_Base) compliant ( LSB (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Standard_Base) 4.1 (or higher)). * OpenI18N (formerly LI18NUX) compliant ( internationalization and localization (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalization_and_localization) ) * GB18030 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GB18030) compliant (the standard CJK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CJK) character encoding (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encoding) used in China (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China) ) * GCC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Compiler_Collection) 3.1 * XFree86 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFree86) 4.2 * KDE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE) 3.0 Techniques for internationalization and localization (I18N and L10N), among others.

Stop submitting non- telling RFEs that have no explanation. FWIW, openSUSE already fulfills many of those "requirements", not to mention that United Linux is dead has no significant relevance today. #3: Genix Info (genixinfo) (2011-07-21 23:35:36) Jan Engelhardt, I understand. More LSB which is one of the requirements listed above, is outdated in openSUSE Linux 11.4, it in the repositories, because the LSB is not installed and the current version of the LSB (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Standard_Base) (Linux Standard Base) is (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Standard_Base) 4.1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Standard_Base) . On my computer, with openSUSE Linux 11.4: LSB: # lsb_release -a LSB Version: n/a Distributor ID: SUSE LINUX Description: openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Release: 11.4 Codename: Celadon Linux Kernel: # uname -a Linux linux-102r 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2011-02- 21 10:34:10 +0100 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux The ideal is to have installed the LSB, is the Live-CD or DVD installation of openSUSE Linux by default and always: complete, stable and updated, this also includes the requirements listed above. #4: Robert Davies (robopensuse) (2011-07-21 23:51:15) (reply to #3) For interest, what LSB software you have that you wish to install? #5: Genix Info (genixinfo) (2011-07-22 00:23:32) Robert Davies, To do this: According to the LSB: The goal of the LSB is to develop and promote a set of open standards that will increase compatibility among Linux distributions and enable software applications to run on any compliant system even in binary form. In addition, the LSB will help coordinate efforts to recruit software vendors to port and write products for Linux Operating System. The LSB compliance may be certified for a product by a certification procedure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Standard_Base (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Standard_Base) #6: Michel Veltman (gwayne) (2011-07-22 07:51:57) Ok, so based on this discussion we should decide that LSB should be in by default. That could be done but is a different future request. #7: Genix Info (genixinfo) (2011-07-22 16:18:01) Michel Veltman, Different? It is equal, the LSB is standard on United Linux. + #8: Genix Info (genixinfo) (2011-07-22 16:20:10) + All requirements listed above are standard in United Linux. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312631
