[opensuse-project] NCL - Novell Client For Linux
by James Tremblay aka SLEducator 10 Aug '08

Hello all, I am wondering about whether or not a mailing list or a group could be established or already exist, to talk about current use of and further implementation of the NCL. A friend and I have been working with PAM_SCRIPT and integrated contextless login. It works really well but I would like to have some help with converting it to use PAM_EXEC. so that an "open" possibly GPL add on to the client could be built. Any Suggestions?

Not openSUSE the distro, but openSUSE the packaging, framework, concept - whatever it is that sets openSUSE apart. After all, the software distributed is the same. I understand that areas such as translation are easy to open to community support, but your comments were made in the context of the partitioner and ext4, i.e. YaST, a very key element to openSUSE. Personally (and partially speaking on behalf of my company too), I'd like to contribute in the areas of JFS and LILO support. Both have been or are being deprecated support-wise, which I am or have been quite vocal about. So, as we are talking about the YaST/partitioner, the key question is: who decides what goes into it? Is this true open source, or is it a Novell product management decision? Who is the project lead on YaST? How does one submit patches? Who decides what is accepted and what is rejected? For instance - why might ext4 get accepted/supported whilst JFS got kicked out earlier? I dare say their level of support/testing is about the same ATM. If you can answer those questions in a satisfactory manner, you might just be getting some community support. /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Substantial problems with @opensuse.org email addresses due to SPF

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, emails _to_ your opensuse.org address will bounce if sender and receiver use SPF. I opened a bug report about it ( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=414666 ) and explain the details in my blog ( http://fnmueller.wordpress.com/2008/08/05/opensuseorg-email-address-will-bo… ~ ). Marcus said it would be a good idea to bring it up on the ML. So I do. I think it would be a good idea if all of you would vote for the bug as this problem hits almost everybody I believe.
