[opensuse-project] [Announcement] SUSE Release SLE Sources to openSUSE Project
by Richard Brown 02 May '15

02 May '15

Dear Community, SUSE is preparing to pro-actively release a significant portion of the SUSE Linux Enterprise source code, including a regular stream of maintenance updates, to the openSUSE Project. These packages will give the community an enduring, stable, and maintained base, upon which exciting community led offerings could be built. An openSUSE community distribution built upon this base can plan for a sustainable stream of packages, as we intend to continue releasing and updating this platform in line with the cadence of SUSE Linux Enterprise and it's service packs. We at SUSE are going to be using this opportunity to focus more engineering efforts on the common elements between SLE and openSUSE, by directly increasing contributions to openSUSE and sharing sources, tools and processes to optimize collaboration for the mutual benefits. As members of the openSUSE community, we at SUSE invite everyone else in the community to collaborate on this base and to consider leveraging it for future openSUSE releases. We're keen to hear your feedback and talk about involvement in this project. For more details, I will be presenting about this concept in detail and how we propose it could be adopted by openSUSE at the openSUSE Conference on Friday, at 10:15 in the Main Hall. Have a lot of fun, Richard Brown openSUSE Board Chairman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Request for video technical directors
by PatrickD Garvey 02 May '15

02 May '15

I would like to see all the slides as the main window on the videos. Whenever the speaker is the occupant of the main window, the slides are difficult to read because they are in the window-in-the-window. Is this not a reasonable request?

The significant portion of SLE code is from openSUSE and/or other open projects anyway, so that may not be all that exciting. >An openSUSE community distribution built upon this base can plan for >a sustainable stream of packages, as we intend to continue releasing >and updating this platform in line with the cadence of SUSE Linux >Enterprise and it's [sic] service packs. Reads to me like "The openSUSE distribution converges with SLE and the two become the new SUSE Linux (open, this time)". Would not even be bad. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] openFATE and upstream
by Akash Vishwakarma 01 May '15

01 May '15

Hi, The Handling of Special Requests > Upstream Features sub heading at https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Openfate_process says > Features for upstream packages should be filed in general upstream. While https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Openfate_upstream_projects ambitiously describes about openFATE and then gives example of KDE explaining how could to use openFATE for upstream. Which one to follow. For now, I'm rejecting the feature request from upstream.

[opensuse-project] Some questions regarding Package Life-Cycle and other openFATE topics
by Akash Vishwakarma 01 May '15

01 May '15

Hi, Can somebody explain the package life-cycle. It will help me with openFATE screening. The are different repositories Nightly, Factory, obs, user repositories. So, how does the life-cycle of a package starts. The user uploads package at his obs page, it then submits to Nightly, then to Factory repo and maybe someday it will reach to the distribution repo. Is something missing in this process and how does this transfer takes place. The openFATE documentation regarding package wishlist needs to explain more than >A package wish is a wish for inclusion in the next openSUSE distribution release. The first step is to build the package in the openSUSE Build Service, the second step is to get it >into the factory distribution. If a package is in factory repo or nightly repo should I make the feature package request as already completed or should make the status as marketplace or new. The the openFATE documentation explains about voting but the documentation for screening process doesn't anything about minimum requirement of votes to convert Unconfirmed feature to New. The documentation clearly explains if the description of feature is complete it can be set as new. But, where does voting come into place.
