Apart from that, seperating a marketing version from an internal version will just cause confusion and needless effort. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Attack site report on opensuse-community.org
by Pascal Bleser 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

What we currently suspect and have partially traced down is that our Mediawiki installation got hacked a little on the site, giving the attacker the possibility of including some Javascript tidbit on the site. Google simply marks the whole domain as "unsafe", even though only the wiki was affected. The YMPs, the subpixel repository and such were not affected. I just spent the last two nights to set up a new, fresh, and up-to-date Mediawiki instance on another server, and imported the content from the old wiki. I'm waiting for the DNS change to point opensuse-community.org to the new server, but in the mean time, I've set a global forward to http://w.opensu.se/ Once the DNS change will be done, I'll contact Google to re-evaluate our site and remove the blacklisting. For further details: http://dev-loki.blogspot.com/2010/07/opensuse- communityorg-attack-page.html cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser <pascal.bleser(a)opensuse.org> /\\ http://opensuse.org -- I took the green pill _\_v FOSDEM::6+7 Feb 2010, Brussels, http://fosdem.org

[opensuse-project] My vote for RC2 most annoying bug [Was: Re: RFT: upgrade from 11.2 to M7 via wagon]
by Greg Freemyer 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

I don't know which mailing list to send this to. I'm guessing "project". I see RC2 doesn't have any "most annoying bugs" yet. I vote for upgrade to 11.3 RC2 via yast-wagon segfaulting / aborting as my most annoying bug. It certainly annoys me. yes, I've filed 2 critical bugzillas https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=613820 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=619316 It's supposed to work like: http://en.opensuse.org/Wagon See below for more details about the bug as opposed to my vote: On Thu, Jul 1, 2010 at 5:17 PM, Greg Freemyer <greg.freemyer(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Adding opensuse-project because I think "wagon" is a valuable project > feature that is 99% done, but no one is testing. > > If tested and the last couple bugs fixed, I'd love to see the 11.3 > announcement encourage its use for 11.2 to 11.3 upgrades. > > Cont. > > On Mon, Jun 14, 2010 at 10:27 AM, Greg Freemyer <greg.freemyer(a)gmail.com> wrote: >> All, >> >> in addition to "zypper dup", "yast2 wagon" is a supported dist upgrade >> path.

Adding opensuse-project because I think "wagon" is a valuable project feature that is 99% done, but no one is testing. If tested and the last couple bugs fixed, I'd love to see the 11.3 announcement encourage its use for 11.2 to 11.3 upgrades. Cont.

See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=619316 If you haven't tried to "zypper dup" via wagon, you really should. When it works it looks very professional. I used in the 11.1 to 11.2 upgrade on several of my machines. But for 11.2 to factory, I have not yet gotten it to work. Note that the first thing wagon does is update the "renewal stack", so the 2 CRITICAL bugs I have found have been in factory packages, not in 11.2 packages. I really hope these get resolved before release and that we can encourage users to upgrade via wagon.

[opensuse-project] What do LUGs look for?
by Manu Gupta 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

Hi All, We all have LUGs in our region at least most of them must be having one I suppose. My question is How do LUGs promote linux all over the world? What all things does the LUGs take under consideration? If LUGs are choosing a distro of your choice, how do LUGs go about it? -- Regards MANU -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org
