[opensuse] Bug "NEW" since years ...
by Dr. Ing. Dieter Jurzitza 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

Dear listmembers, since 2 years (!!!) the bug 335267 is open and has not been assigned to anybody - still "NEW". Every other time another person is adding to it, at no reaction. The bug is kept going from openSUSE 10.3 and arrived happily at 11.1 in the meantime. I do not think this is the way it ought to go - could some friendly person at Novell tell at least whether this is a "wontfix" or whatever? I cannot do more than investing time and support facts, because as I wrote the issue goes beyond my capabilities. Thank you Liebe Liste, seit mittlerweile 2 Jahren (!!!) ist der Bug 335267 offen und wurde bisher niemandem zugeordnet - immer noch "NEW" Immer wieder hängt jemand etwas an - aber es gibt keinerlei Reaktion. Der Fehler hat sich jetzt von der 10.3 fröhlich bis zur 11.1 vorgearbeitet. I glaube nicht, daß das der Weg ist, wie es laufen sollte - könnte ein netter Kollege bei Novell zumindest klären, ob das ein "wontfix" oder wie auch immer ist? Ich kann leider nicht mehr tun als Zeit investieren und Fakten sammeln, weil - wie ich geschrieben habe - die wirkliche Lösung des Problems meine Möglichkeiten übersteigt. Danke schonmal, Dieter Jurzitza -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | \ /\_/\ | | ~x~ |/-----\ / \ /- \_/ ^^__ _ / _ ____ / <°°__ \- \_/ | |/ | | || || _| _| _| _| if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font with constant spacing like courier! :-) ----------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] how to sync the "not browseable" repository
by Johnny Schu 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

hi all, We face a problem when snycing the http://www2.ati.com/suse/ since this repository is not browsable. I am from LUG, USTC (University of Science and Technology of China). We began to maintain a server of opensuse repositories serving several universities in China from last semester, and we are trying to sync more third-party repositories to supplement the svelte major repositories since packages such as vlc and drivers is almost pre-requisite for majority opensuse users, and it is too slow to visit the abroad repositories. The problem we faced is just as the note on the wiki: http://www2.ati.com/suse/ is not browsable. I have searched for some previous mailinglist archive, just found one in Feb, 2008: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-softwaremgmt/2008-02/msg00007.html with the same question but no solution appended. I am sorry that I don't know where to ask the question (there has been no reply of the thread in Feb, 2008 in mailinglist opensuse-softwaremgmt), so I post it here, hope someone can help. Thank you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] MinGw cross compiler for 32-bit MS Windows
by Roger Oberholtzer 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

I have been using the MinGW cross compiler for 32-bit MS Windows on openSUSE for a while. I have no trouble making apps (console mode dll and exe) that run on Windows. Part of the setup should allow others to write applications on Windows and link with the DLLs I create with MinGW on Linux. Here is where I run into problems. Initially, people were trying to use MSCV++ to make apps that link with the Linux- compiled MinGW DLLs. The linking worked, but the apps did not run. So, I suggested that they try MinGW on Windows. Oddly, no help. So, I thought I needed to look into this. I installed the current stable MinGW from mingw.org. When I try to link with my Linux cross- compiled DLLS, I get an error that atexit() is redefined. Not in my code. When compiling/linking the same code all with the Linux cross- compiler, there is no trouble at all. It is when I use a DLL from the Linux cross compiler as a component when linking a program compiled on Windows that it fails. After a bit of googling, I think I need to make sure that the runtime libs (used when linking the app) in MinGW are the same version on Linux and Windows. Here is my current problem (I think): The RPMs for openSUSE contain versions that are so old that they are no longer available on mingw.org. They do have old versions. But not as old as the ones included in openSUSE. Is there any reason that the openSUSE versions of the various components are not somewhere in the list of versions that mingw.org supply for Windows? Alternatively, is this not really the problem? Maybe I am looking at the wrong problem? Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

And not to beat the topic to death, but Thunderbird does by retrieving headers only if you opt to; Evolution doesn't appear to have an option. I suspect a fair number of readers using POP would tend to use Thunderbird, though, but that's just a WAG on my part.
