We are now looking for ideas, proposals, projects, etc. around openSUSE and SUSE Linux, that could be worked on in Google Summer of Code. As the period of application for SoC is already very short, we need to get our proposals for project online May 1st, 2006, at the latest.
So, for example, if you are missing a certain YaST module, or a special feature in the distribution, speak up now!
I know quite some people are using the SMART Package Manager these days: So, I'm going to propose some extensions to SMART to handle the new rpm-md+ based update channels for SUSE Linux, including deltarpm support, etc. Maybe a QT GUI for SMART would be a nice feature as well, eh? Is there anything else that you are missing in SMART that could be addressed by a SoC project?
What about a repodata enabled _repository_ I really mean repository and not a bunch of directories scattered around a server, like it is now. Have a look at my apt (repodata enabled) sources.list file: repomd ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/kolab suse-10.1 repomd ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/ suse repomd ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/update 10.1 repomd ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/install/10.1/SUSE-Linux10.1-RC2-Extra suse repomd ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/apt4rpm rpmkeys It's a big mess. It's not the apt way of doing with all components in 1 place, like e.g: rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 packman usr-local-bin When will there be a centralized package repository for suse (including 3rd party contributred packages). The repository should provide a list of all packages and files in the repository (including on the not subscribed channels/components). -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
