Come on this project has only 80+ mailing lists. 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

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.
Regards,
Matthias

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...).

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
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.

Hi,
This week the label specific operations have been consolidated, with the
following features:
- add general architecture that represents labels as drivers.
- add new partitions
- add delete partitions
- add writing in-memory changes to disk
- add verify disk tables
- add creating disk labels
Furthermore, the API's error handling has been implemented as well as
the usual general cleanups.
A patchet has been sent for review.
Thanks,
Davidlohr

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.

Hi all,
SUSE will be organizing Hackweek VIII next week (July 23 to July 27
2012) for SUSE R&D employees.
What does it mean for openSUSE ?
- you might see more people hacking on various openSUSE projects
- you might see less people responding on bugzilla or various projects
(because they are hacking on something else)
- and probably many other things (who knows).
So don't worry if some folks at SUSE are a little less responsive than
usual ;)
