[opensuse-web] Forum Theme Location
by Simon Lees 16 Mar '16

16 Mar '16

Hi All, For the next hackweek or maybe before (I don't know when the next hackweek is) I was planning to recolor all the additional openSUSE websites (Forums, wiki, connect, etc...) to match the new landing page and openSUSE branding guidelines more generally. I already have some work done on this. I have gone through the openSUSE github and tracked down the source code for all the themes other then the forum, if someone knows where the forum theme source code is and would be willing to let me know that would be much appreciated. Cheers Simon

Hi everyone, I'm would like to introduce myself as a new member of your community. I am a computer Science undergraduate student in junior year from National Institute of Technology, Durgapur <http://www.nitdgp.ac.in/>, India. I am maintainer at Glittergallery <https://github.com/glittergallery/GlitterGallery>, and recently I have been hacking on OSEM <https://github.com/openSUSE/osem/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=author%3Asonalkr13…>. I am working on my Ruby skill and it is exciting to see that openSUSE has so many Ruby projects. I hope that this summer I will get to work on enhancing submission process <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FElqRCAY1IVOPv7xvex1TxU9P4iQ-v4sUgoyJfs…> on OSEM under GSoC. You can read my rather opinionated blog at: chasingcrazydreams.wordpress.com or find me on Github @sonalkr132 <https://github.com/sonalkr132> Cheers, Aditya

[opensuse-web] Slow tests
by Aditya Prakash 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

Hi, I have been trying to work on test coverage but it isn't going great cause setup time before any of the tests run is just huge -_- spring saves 5-7 seconds, which amount to nothing in front of 30-40 seconds delay. It really shouldn't take a minute if i want run just one test. Delay in start is not because of file loads, besides spring recovers whatever delay file load has. What I do see is that database for test is created and removed multiple times before any of the test has run. Isn't that weird? Anyway, I am wondering if you guys knows have ever investigated this. *About PR #784 <https://github.com/openSUSE/osem/pull/784>* I know you guys don't need that but contributors like me do? You have limited travis builds only to master, now I can't run builds on branches I experiment with and may be send pull requests later on. Even current config sucks, cause every time I (or any other fork ower) updates master you guys will receive notification on irc and a mail. This means I (or every other fork) shouldn't ever update master if I want to be nice and not be cause of unnecessary notifications. Lastly, do you have bi weekly meetings? Any thoughts on gitter? Thank you, Aditya

Hi, all. Looks like the last (about 200) new pages on the wiki are spam: https://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Special:NewPages&offset=&limit= 250 Perhaps someone with admin access can delete them? - Rolf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner(a)opensuse.org

But I don't think the binaries are kept. I guess there 2 solutions, keep an rsync copy without --delete with the consequence of it. The others way would be to have a local obs, branch all the package you need and build publish them for 13.1. Now the third solution, was applied for 11.4 is to have a Evergreen target (or simply keep 13.1 as a build publish target) on repository. As this depend of the reposotiry maintainer decision, and also to save build power of obs.... Getting your needed package branched inside your own repo, could help perhap but for how long... Owning an obs instance is the most secured in long term.

I am not sure whether > packages in "x86_64" folders might have any dependencies to packages > found in "i586"/"i686" folders. You should be able to keep only noarch, x86_64 and repodata folder no i586 should be necessary, when 32bits are expected normally they have a -32bit in x86_64 repository. But beware some non open crap (skype etc) need i586 lib and bin... So depending of what you want to run, both could be mandatory. > Best regards, > Sebastian Hope this help you to -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Board, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-web] New layout for software.opensuse.org
by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 12 Nov '15

12 Nov '15

Since the leap to Leap (I couldn't resist), the frontpage of software.opensuse.org looked a bit misleading: - With only 2 ISOs to download, the javascript based accordion was simply too much. - The "alternative versions" section was also quite a non-sense - two Javascript-powered links just to end up in a link to the wiki. - References to the "type of computer" or mentioning 32 bits in the help text didn't help much either So, as you can see, I redid the layout a little bit https://software.opensuse.org/421 For old versions, the old layout is still used https://software.opensuse.org/132/ I kept the changes to a minimal with the intention of not adding or changing any string in order not to break translations. But I think it's time to go one step further. I think we need a new layout with: - Rephrased/updated text for several sections. Like this https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=953927 - A clear indication that the official images are 64 bits only - Reasonably prominent links (with the corresponding short explanations) to the unofficial ports[1] and to the derivatives. https://github.com/openSUSE/software-o-o/issues/39 - A layout that works better in languages with long strings. For example, the current layout looks slightly broken in Spanish. I'm not talking about a visual redesign (I know some people is already trying to tweak the CSS to make it more consistent with the landing page). I'm talking about rearranging the elements and phrasing everything in a better way, so we are more consistent with the current reality. Contributions are welcome as pull requests, but also as text snippets, mock-ups, sketches or simply lists of things to take into account. Thanks. [1] Maintained unofficial ports are aarc64 and ppc64le at the moment, maybe 32bit in the future is somebody steps up. -- Ancor González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE Linux GmbH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-web] Re: Upgrade in stage
by Micah Roberts 31 Oct '15

Hello Again, I have not heard anything back about this. Is this where I go to get this resolved? Could you please tell me who is over support for the OpenSUSE wiki's. If this is the place, here is some more info. Here are the system Requirements for mediawiki now. You can see this at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download I just received an email that tomorrow they are releasing a new security patch 1.25.3 ( you may join the watch list that puts these out at https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l) System Requirements MediaWiki requires PHP 5.3.3+ and eitherMySQL <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:MySQL>5.0.2+ or one of the other three possible stores. For more information, please read the pages onsystem requirements <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Installation_requi…>andcompatibility <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/compatibility>. Attention *To MediaWiki ≤ 1.22.x users:*Support of these branches was discontinued. Please update to a newer version of MediaWiki: * MediaWiki 1.25.2 (download <https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.25/mediawiki-1.25.2.tar.gz>) - stable * MediaWiki 1.24.3 (download <https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.24/mediawiki-1.24.3.tar.gz>) - legacy * MediaWiki 1.23.10 (download <https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.23/mediawiki-1.23.10.tar.gz>) -LTS Now the opensuse wiki's are at version 1.22.2 (https://en.opensuse.org/Special:Version). They haven't been updated for over two years, security or anything. I have updated https://enstage.opensuse.org/Main_Page but as you can see it has broken the theming. The theme needs to be fixed and dependency on pluggins need to be looked at before updating if the site is to look the same as it does now. Unless there is a response to this that says otherwise, I will start updating stage using the new release 1.25.3 on (Oct, 28) and will push the upgrade to production early November.

[opensuse-web] news release and social media translations
by Douglas DeMaio 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Hi all, We are getting close to the release of Leap, but there are still a few things we need help with. There are two items that can really help us expand the awareness of #openSUSELeap. The media release that is planned to go out with the release can help us publicize the release of #openSUSELeap in many different languages. Please consider translating it and contacting your local news to publish a story regarding Leap. The link can be found at https://en.opensuse.org/Archive:Release_announcement_42.1 Languages are on the left side. Please update that to 42.1 If you language is not there, please feel free to translate it and send me a wiki link. Additionally, we would like help translating and publishing the social media messages at https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Social_media_launch_plan Those who have already translated the release and social media plan, thank you for your efforts and contributions. Have a great day. v/r Doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner(a)opensuse.org
