[opensuse-xfce] Proposal: Change default Thunderbird with Claws Mail
by Maurizio Galli (m4u9) 26 Nov '20

26 Nov '20

Hello Xfce Geekos, Thunderbird 78 dropped the standard GnuPG in favour of their own implementation of OpenPGP which sparked this discussion here: https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/… I'd like to know what are the general thoughts on this and feedback if openSUSE Xfce should consider switching default to Claws Mail instead. Claws mail is a very powerful client and it's a lot lighter than Thunderbird, making it a good fit for Xfce. Claws mail also supports GnuPG well via a plugin that it's available OOTB. The downside is that compared to Thunderbird, Claws Mail is a bit clunkier to configure and pretty ugly by default, although there are nice themes available. I look forward to hearing from your thoughts. Cheers, -- Maurizio Galli (m4u9) Xfce Team https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Xfce

[opensuse-xfce] VM images of Xfce Git master for KVM and XEN now available
by Maurizio Galli (m4u9) 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

Dear Xfce Geekos, About two years ago we introduced the OBS repo X11:xfce:rat, which builds Xfce components directly from Git master branch instead of using regular release tarballs[1]. Today openSUSE Xfce Team is proud to introduce a new and simpler way to enjoy those builds by using qcow2 images for KVM & XEN , we created with the use of OBS, Kiwi and Virtualization combined. The build process is fully automated and packages get updated on a regular basis giving users qcow2 disk images with Xfce's latest builds based on openSUSE's rolling release Tumbleweed [2][3]. Currently there are two sets of qcow2 images for KVM & Xen: a) The openSUSE version provides the default experience Tumbleweed and Leap users are familiar with, which includes all the openSUSE branding, look & feel and settings. b) The "vanilla" disk image ships Xfce completely unmodified from Git sources and without any openSUSE visual tweakings. This gives Xfce devs (and testers alike) who want to build and test software inside a complete Xfce environment the most convenient way to do so. Downloads: openSUSE version: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/xfce:/rat:/images/images/ Upstream version: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/xfce:/rat:/images:/upstream… Usage: The most convenient way to use openSUSE's Xfce RAT disk images is virt-manager. The simplified steps are: 1. Download either of the qcow2 images linked above 2. Import the downloaded qcow2 image in virt-manager 3. Boot the imported image and follow the "first-time boot" wizard until the setup is complete 4. Have a lot of fun! You can find more detailed information on how to use these images in the dedicated wiki page at https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Xfce/Images Feel free to reach out to to us at xfce(a)lists.opensuse.org Have a lot of fun!

[opensuse-xfce] [Bnc-team-xfce] Your Bugzilla bug list needs attention.
by bugzilla_noreply＠suse.com 22 Nov '20

22 Nov '20

[This e-mail has been automatically generated.] You have one or more bugs assigned to you in the Bugzilla bug tracking system (http://bugzilla.suse.com/) that require attention. All of these bugs are in either the CONFIRMED, NEW, or REOPENED state, and have not been touched in 7 days or more. You need to take a look at them, and decide on an initial action. Generally, this means one of three things: (1) You decide this bug is really quick to deal with (like, it's INVALID), and so you get rid of it immediately. (2) You decide the bug doesn't belong to you, and you reassign it to someone else. (Hint: if you don't know who to reassign it to, make sure that the Component field seems reasonable, and then use the "Reset Assignee to default" option.) (3) You decide the bug belongs to you, but you can't solve it this moment. Ignore this email until you are actively working on this bug, when you should set the status to IN_PROGRESS. To get a list of all affected bugs, you can use this URL (bookmark it if you like!): http://bugzilla.suse.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=CONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bu… Or, you can use the general query page, at http://bugzilla.suse.com/query.cgi Appended below are the individual URLs to get to all of your affected bugs that haven't been touched for 7 days or more.
