[opensuse-edu] Education repository now inherits devel:languages:python repositoriy

Hi The Education repository on build.opensuse.org linked some python-* packages from devel:languages:python since a couple of months. As the amount of packages linked (or copied) from the devel:languages:python repository was growing over the time, we decided to add the devel:languages:python repository as "build repository" instead to avoid confusion (which package is "newer") and reduce the needed build power (linked packages are always built in the source _and_ in the target project). What does that mean for packagers in the Education repository? * If your package needs some package which is (only) available in the devel:languages:python repository, nothing needs to be done: you benefit from the new setup directly. * If you like to package a Python application or you need a new Python package to build your package, please use the devel:languages:python repository for this, if possible. What does that mean for end users of the Education repository? * If they add the Education repository via the "1-click-installation" on software.opensuse.org search, the devel:languages:python repository will be added automatically to their repositories. * If they add the Education repository via YaST Module, the devel:languages:python repository will NOT be added automatically. I'm currently unsure if we should change this - your comments are welcome! What does that mean technically? ~>osc meta prj Education | grep -A 3 12.1 shows now: <repository name="openSUSE_12.1"> <path repository="standard" project="openSUSE:12.1:NonFree"/> <path repository="openSUSE_12.1" project="devel:languages:perl"/> <path repository="openSUSE_12.1" project="devel:languages:python"/> <arch>x86_64</arch> <arch>i586</arch> </repository> With kind regards, Lars -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-edu+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-edu] openSUSE-Edu-li-f-e-12.1-Beta1-i686.iso

Hello Community Here is the first draft of openSUSE Edu li-f-e media. The iso is hybrid, it can be used to create live DVD or dd the image to USB stick to create live USB stick. It requires minimum 1GB RAM to boot into KDE session in a KDM/VirtualBox virtual machine, I had to turn off VirtualBox's 3D acceleration. For installation you need about 25GB partition, minimum 12G for / make sure you have that either on your real machine or a VM for testing. Get the test image here: http://www.opensuse-education.org/~cyberorg/openSUSE-Edu-li-f-e-12.1-Beta1-… Report on http://bugzilla.novell.com if the application you use regularly has bug so the fixes end up in next image. If any application that you think the image must have and is missing let me know here with a link to 12.1 package on the http://software.opensuse.org/search. As things are not looking so great, so we will wait for few major fixes to appear in online update repository and feedback from you all before pushing final version. Have a lot of fun... -J -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-edu+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-edu] duplicated packages
by Alin Marin Elena 14 Nov '11

Dear All, I have seen some overlap between out main distro and the two repos science and education. two examples are openmpi and various python components. Can we decide a proper policy on how this things are handled... I propose that education inherits the main distro and focuses (as in their statement) on high school stuff. science inherits education and focuses on research and specialised science and engineer packages.
