Re: [opensuse-factory] repository priorities with Tumbleweed

> No, please don't confuse people, if you add more repos than just > Tumbleweed you really had better know what you are doing or bad things > can, and will, happen :) I understand. I just would like to add the following to http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed - between ## is the new stuff: "The only supported method of repo use for Tumbleweed is to have only the main repos (Oss, Non-oss, and Update) and the Tumbleweed repo active. ## If you use more repositorys you have to know how repo-priorities work, but even then Tumblweed does NOT support this ## " It would also be good to move this information to "Special concerns" and to move the whole "Special concerns"-section up. For example "Special Concerns Virtual Machines ... Third Party Drivers ... ## Non-Standard Repos: Only use Oss, Non-oss, and Update combined with the Tumbleweed-Standard repo. Everything else is not supported and might break the system ## " >You do know the legal reasons behind why packman is there, right? Yes. Then I do not whish you personaly to support Packman with TW - I understand now that this is not possible from your perspectivg. But...as the OS community discusses right now if/how to strengthen Tumbleweed... one way would be, that Packman+TW would be supported BY Packman. So I will ask the Packman-guys to do that... I hope this is possible for them. Without Packman Tumbleweed is so ... "anti-multimedia" ;) thanks anyway :D -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] rpmlint: warn if -ansi is used to build packages
by Cristian Rodríguez 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Hi: Will be cool if rpmlint could warn when upstream packages attempt to use the -ansi gcc option because it inhibits usage of gcc builtin functions while optimizing (list here --> http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Other-Builtins.html#Other-Builtins) most recently it caught my attention that it also disables the new "optimize-strlen" pass in gcc 4.7, in particular this: "for hosted compilations where stpcpy is available in the runtime and headers provide its prototype, e.g. void foo (char *a, const char *b, const char *c, const char *d) { strcpy (a, b); strcat (a, c); strcat (a, d); } can be optimized into: void foo (char *a, const char *b, const char *c, const char *d) { strcpy (stpcpy (stpcpy (a, b), c), d); } " when -ansi is used and (defined(_GNU_SOURCE) || (_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700 || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L)) is false, there is no stpcpy prototype and hence no optimization.

[opensuse-factory] KDE menus and gitorious
by Cristian Morales Vega 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

I created a merge request for desktop-data three weeks ago. It's just a minor patch that doesn't really fix anything but a warning from kbuildsycoca4. I'm not sure about how Gitorious works, maintainers are supposed to notice the "1" in the merge requests section or they receive an email notifying it? And since I'm on it. Since I updated my 11.3 system to KDE to 4.5 the "inline" part of the menu is not honored... Expected behavior? Known problem? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Splitting deb?
by Frank Lichtenheld 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Hi. I saw that Marguerite has added another two Debian packages to the "deb" openSUSE package. As a user of and contributor to that package, may I suggest that we stop that (and instead do the opposite, split the package)? I don't know what the historic reasons were for collecting multiple independent source packages in one RPM. But by now this is a very big and complicated spec file which makes maintenance somewhat hard, especially when multiple people are working on it. It also makes it hard to use parts of the packaging for other purposes (e.g. Fedora already has a dpkg package, but no debhelper or devscripts package. The current deb package doesn't work for Fedora and adapting it would make the spec file even bigger [it needs overrides for the automatic perl dependencies and other changes]) If there is no opposition I would volunteer to do all the work of splitting the deb package in its components and submit them to Factory (Probably something that would be targeted for 12.3, not 12.2?). Opinions? Would it make sense to file a bug about this? Or a fate entry?

[opensuse-factory] Classifying a bug under installation or kernel in Bugzilla
by Roman Bysh 01 Oct '12

01 Oct '12

Hello all, I have been having a problem in which the installer with default kernel freezes when "Searching for Linux Partitions" during the probing. This has been happening since 12.2 M1 - M3. To resolve this I add "acpi=off" to the boot options. This should not happen with the default kernel. Should I add this as a bug under "Installation" or "Kernel" in Bugzilla? -- Cheers!

[opensuse-factory] 12.2 beta VirtualBox problem
by lynn 10 Sep '12

10 Sep '12

12.2 beta2 updated with Yast Online Update yesterday Hi everyone I have a problem with 12.2 on VirtualBox. The 4.1.16 that came with 12.2 gave a very large virtual text screen (the ones that have to have scrollbars) which is really annoying when working in a console in text mode. I removed 4.1.16 and installed 4.1.18. Same problem. The graphics modes are fine, it's just the cli. I have tried with and without the guest additions. Both versions of vbox work as expected on 12.1 Any ideas how to fix this?
