Here is the error message I got trying to follow a link that was to a forum response "Duplicate headers received from server The response from the server contained duplicate headers. This problem is generally the result of a misconfigured website or proxy. Only the website or proxy administrator can fix this issue. Error 350 (net::ERR_RESPONSE_HEADERS_MULTIPLE_LOCATION): Multiple distinct Location headers received. This is disallowed to protect against HTTP response splitting attacks." This too has been like this for months. I must not be holding my mouth right. This is very broken. Steven ____________ Apply appropriate technology. Use what works without prejudice.

[opensuse-project] amount of lists and project communication (was: openSUSE forms issue.)

Where else do you get a new list as soon as you cry loud enough? Sorry, here you don't even need to cry. \: More than 80 lists. This project must be quite important! To be honest and IIRC I've said this several times before. We need to cut the amount of lists down and instead push the quality of the postings, replys, and bug reports. Else we'll see more and more fragmentation of the communication and less progress for the project. While I believe the openSUSE FAQs are not that bad. Do we need to promote them better or enhance the quality to get people a bit more focussed? Oh, I'm sorry. This posting I'm sure is directed to the the wrong list. opensuse-project would fit much better and the majority dosn't care nevertheless I fear. :/ Cheers, Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team + SUSE Labs SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany

[opensuse-project] AppStream / Software-Center GSoC project #5
by Matthias Klumpp 23 Jul '12

23 Jul '12

Hi! it's me again, now nearly exam-complete and with much more time to work on my GSoC project. So, what has been done the last two weeks? * More adjustments on the Software Center, e.g. AXI doesn't get loaded anymore on non-Debian systems, also PackageKit access is much better now. * Started a new project: Update-AppStream-Index[1]. UAI is a small DBus-activated daemon which is responsible for building the AppStream Xapian database from XML files, Debian DEP-11 metadata or Ubuntu AppInstall. Right now, only the XML stuff (which is delivered by the AppStream-supporting distribution) is supported. * More changes on PackageKit, some additional work on my parallel-processing patch Next is changing the PackageKit dummy backend, so I can test parallel transactuions easily. After that, my parallelization patch will be reviewed, changed and accepted (hopefully ^^). Then I'll have to make more improvements on UAI and the SC. That's it :-) I'll blog about it again as soon as there are some pretty pictures to see.

[opensuse-project] [gsoc] osc2 client - summary of week 9
by Marcus Hüwe 23 Jul '12

23 Jul '12

Hi, here's a small summary of the 9th (coding) week. Last week I worked on the fetcher and cache manager code. In order to support all features some of the existing classes had to be enhanced with some more parameters. Done: * cache manager code * BinaryList class supports view=cpio * RORemoteFile class supports lazy_open parameter (by default the file is opened lazily that is when a read request is issued) (for the fetcher code we use lazy_open=False) * minor changes in the httprequest module (AbstractHTTPRequest supports the same query parameter more than once) The fetcher code is more or less done (not yet committed) and will be finished by friday evening (I've some exams this week...).

[opensuse-project] where is openSUSE?
by Jos Poortvliet 23 Jul '12

23 Jul '12

Hey hugbears, We, the marketeers, are looking for some input on where to find openSUSE. If you know of any big deployment (100+ seats but servers count at least twice :D) then please add them here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:In_use Or send me a mail if you're unsure if the people behind the deployment want to talk about it. Give me contact details and I will ask them, OK? Cheerios, Jos

[opensuse-project] GSoC 2012-Upstream Tracker-Request for Server Space
by N B Prashanth 23 Jul '12

23 Jul '12

Hi, In continuation to a previous post to the mailing list, I would again like to request for some server space to test the upstream tracker project. At this point in time, I think there is sufficient progress to put the project online and receive a few user inputs so that we can fix a few bugs that may be found and progress. A small VM would be enough. If there is anyone in particular i should contact, it would be great if someone could let me know. A progress summary is attached. What's done: • Rails web interface for user inputs and displaying errors. • REST interface to access data. • Updated python backend scripts to handle version finding in the backend. • search feature and disambiguation page on the web interface for easily searching records to avoid duplicate record addition. • partial support for custom URLs. What's to be done: • complete custom URL support (Almost over) • add support to undo changes to records updated by users. This will be available only to site admins. • DEHS import support after custom URL support is complete. -- Regards, N.B.Prashanth -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Unity and openSUSE
by Nelson Marques 22 Jul '12

22 Jul '12

Hi all, Despite I should've be posting on this list, I will open an exception for something that I've invested a lot of time in the past (and time proven Vincent to be wise), but there's this 'Unity' thing that should be scrapped. I've recently handed GNOME:Ayatana to someone to keep the work, but the direction that the project is taken doesn't please me and I would like to become 'plan B' on this issue. As some people know I also maintain a few packages on Fedora and I've also became an EPEL Packager. I've seen a message in which the author (the person I gave GNOME:Ayatana to) claiming he moved to Fedora. I've removed myself from GNOME:Ayatana after seeing xorg components and compilers being added to the repo amongst other things. I can take back Unity considering that: 1) I've spoken to Ken VanDine from Canonical and currently only the menu proxy isn't upstreamed; 2) I've spoken to Matthias Clasen from Red Hat regarding GTK+ and menu proxies, I was informed that they are working with Canonical to move everything go GMenus; 3) The code has portability issues to GCC4.7; 4) Jeff Spaleta is moving in Fedora to help with the code ports and moving Unity to Fedora; 5) We need to bring compiz back. 6) An aditional patch is required on X, I supposed this will be upstreamed by Fedora soon. This are the only real issues that the port faces for deployment; I'm familiar with most of the components (except Compiz), we have someone working on Compiz, which should be nice. Now, I'm willing to pick up my former work and make a push for this, but I will need help, mainly with: 1) Fixing code for GCC4.7 (or I can wait for Fedora to do the work and then rebase the patches); 2) Reviews (prefer someone from the GNOME Team to do them, as they are to the best of my knowledge the tighter ones, and thats how I like it); I'm in for taking this seriously (which means I will drop MATE). Aditionally since GNOME:Ayatana has a lot of crazy stuff, I don't even want to get close to it (though I need to copy packages); I need also a 'Unity' namespace on OBS for this. If OBS can take EC2 build hosts, I can donate 1 or 2 build hosts for this project alone if that helps. Anyone who can help me overcomming the gcc4.7 is available ? For me this is a race, and it's the only way I get enough motivation to run against time and make this happen in real time. I have 2 free weeks in August (other two I will be away) to make this into a usable state. --- If you have no real interesting in helping in this, please don't polute this thread.
