[opensuse-project] Easier installing multimedia codecs in openSUSE
by Krupanský Rastislav 23 Apr '07

23 Apr '07

The newest version of Ubuntu does make it simpler to work with proprietary multimedia formats. It includes a new guided wizard for automatically installing multimedia codecs/restricted formats not shipped with Ubuntu, which gives users a safe and easy way to experience proprietary music and videos It could be something like this in new openSUSE.What do you think? It's only my opinion:-) -- Táto správa bola vytvorená integrovaným poštovým klientom prehliadača Opera: http://www.opera.com/mail/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Package Search : Hosting request
by Benji Weber 23 Apr '07

23 Apr '07

Greetings all, For the past few months I have been providing an openSUSE package search at http://benjiweber.co.uk:8080/webpin, It has been providing search for over 100,000 packages and 16,000,000 files (buildservice, factory, official, thirdparty). I had hoped to be able to show off some of the newer features, like the one click install integration but that will have to wait for now. Judging by the fact that it was getting well over a thousand search requests a day I suspect it has not gone unnoticed that it has been unavailable for most of this week. Thanks to all those who e-mailed to ensure that I knew. This is unfortunately out of my control, it was hosted on an aged municipal server with dozens of active users, and now the inevitable has happend and the server has died. It is unlikely to be back within the next week. The system is designed (http://en.opensuse.org/PKGSearch-design) to allow multiple groups to provide search results, as well as multiple uses of the search data. So if legal issues of indexing repositories such as packman are a problem those indexes and web-page frontend can be held elsewhere. It would be nice if Novell/SUSE could provide the facilities for indexing the core repositories and build service, but having spoken to several employees it sounds like they do not have the resources. So if anyone else does have the resources and willingness to do so then please let me know. The requirements at present: - Shell access for running the trawler and maintenance (although someone else could be taught to do this) - mysql (with capability of customising server settings) - A few gigabytes of disk space to store the xml files while indexing, and the database + indexes themselves. - Java 6 - Tomcat 5 or Glassfish for hosting the web service. _ Benjamin Weber --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] #opensuse-community moving to -project
by Martin Schlander 22 Apr '07

22 Apr '07

The opensuse-community tries to achieve a tighter knit and more efficient community. We try to practice what we preach, and therefore it has been decided to close the #opensuse-community IRC channel. Future community discussion will take place in #opensuse-project. If you're going to miss the funny and informal chat that also happened in #opensuse-community you'll be able to find a similar atmosphere in #opensuse-chat.

[opensuse-project] instlux and openSuSE10.3: report 2
by Jordi Massaguer 20 Apr '07

20 Apr '07

Hi all, I am sending to you the third report about the development of instlux (a linux from windows installer) and the integration with OpenSuSE10.3. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contents: 1- New features 2- Getting the sources and compiling them 3- Where to get more information and collaborate 4- And now what else? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- New features 1- Instlux can now be installed on a SATA disc (that was the most annoying bug). 2- Instlux can now be installed on a Windows98 PC (thanks to Daniel Pedigo). 3- Instlux installs even when Windows is not at the first partition. 4- Instlux supports now the OpenSuSE10.3 Alpha3 (CDROM and Internet installations) 5- Instlux supports 20 languages in one single installer and chooses the one your windows is using. 6- Instlux supports 32 and 64 bits. There is a version for 32 and a version for 64. You can access the latest development builds at: http://instlux.sourceforge.net/testing_builds/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2- Getting the sources and compiling them You can access the code at: http://instlux.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/instlux/ In order to compile it, you need the nsis for linux: http://instlux.sourceforge.net/dependencies/nsis-2.18-alt1.i586.rpm and python installed. Then, just run the make_instlux.py script. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3- Where to get more information and collaborate There is a wiki page at: http://en.opensuse.org/Instlux The main web page: http://instlux.sourceforge.net The bug tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=151507&atid=781214 The feature request: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=151507&atid=781217 The forums: http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=151507 Some extra documentation: http://instlux.sourceforge.net/docs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4- And now what else? The 32 bits version is ready for being integrated into the OpenSuSE build system. So the next step should be told by the opensuse project manager. I have not tested the 64 bits version as I do not have any 64 bit computer. So I will prefer to either test it myself or hope that someone at the opensuse community wills to do so, before integrating it into the OpenSuSE build system. Anyone?

Just wanted to say that it is a great tool and I have been using it as it is faster to use your search application than waiting for yast to download all the indexes. I just hope you can find a server soon. Just for curiosity, do you have any statistics about the traffic you had? That is downloads per day/hour, downloads at a time, etc.. Again thanks for the great job! jordi ----- Mensaje original ---- De: Benji Weber <b.weber(a)warwick.ac.uk> Para: opensuse-project(a)opensuse.org Enviado: jueves, 19 de abril, 2007 21:40:48 Asunto: Re: [opensuse-project] Package Search : Hosting request On 4/19/07, David Miller <djmdave(a)googlemail.com> wrote: > I believe its partly due to benji's indexer searching packman and guru repos > as well -- therefore indexing legally dubious packages As I mentioned, it's designed so it can be split, one party providing some of the search facilities, and the rest by another party, invisible to the user. _ Benjamin Weber --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org ______________________________________________ LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo.

[opensuse-project] Look and Feel of the openSUSE Installer
by Magnus Boman 19 Apr '07

19 Apr '07

Hello openSUSE lovers! openSUSE has been rapidly evolving, but the installer has stayed the same for many versions! The installer is the first thing potential openSUSE users see, and an immediate 'pleasant surprise effect is very important, particularly considering the competition from other installers available. Previous SUSE users also erroneously presume sometimes that the distro is the same since the installer hasn't changed, unfortunately. I've created a page on the wiki to collect ideas on how to improve the openSUSE installer. If you have any ideas (or concerns), please head over to http://en.opensuse.org/Pimp_My_Installer and update it as you see fit. Thanks, Magnus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org
