[opensuse-project] End of PooS´ GSoC special - New interviewed searched
by K. Dennis Leyendecker 31 Aug '11

31 Aug '11

Howdy! With the end of the GSoC 2011 also our PooS special ends for first time. So, I´m searching again for "normal" people now! That means, everybody who´s thinking he or she would fit in, just need to mail me and ask for an interview (otherwise, I will mail people.) Actually, I wanted to release an interview with Chuck after the GSoC periode, but I never get something from him back (or? If so, please correct me and send it again, I´m sorry...) > New people So, I´m searching for new people who wants to get interviewed. So, *please* don´t be shy and mail me. I´m planning to do one interview per week, so that the weekly news guys could use it in their weekly update. > New questions A few months ago, we had a discussion about the questions that been asked on the interviews. I created a draft for a new question sheets which combinates the old with the new Jos came with up. Please review it and let me know if you´re okay with it or if you want something to change. See: http://www.lhag.bplaced.com/~kdl/files/openSUSE/poos_2012_draft.odt I planned to introduce these questions in 2012. That means, I will continue the rest of the year with the old questions and start with the new next year. > Why? I started in 2011 with the old and if you have a look at the wiki, you will see it´s subdivided in years. So, the future 2012 "season" would be nice for an introduction of the new questions. So, if _you_ want to change something on the question sheet please do it *now* and before the new questions are introduced. I´m looking forward to your feedback and to some more interviews! sincerly yours, kdl -- send from my notebook -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] prettifying our location at oSC
by Jos Poortvliet 31 Aug '11

31 Aug '11

Hey all, So the Zentrifuge location is a 'creative and open space' which also means it's quite empty right now... We are supposed to lighten up the place with our energetic presence :D To help with that, we need EVERYONE who is available on saturday to help make it pretty. We've got a bunch of $$$ and a van - and empty rooms with room for imagination. Who helps us buy stuff, bring it to the conference, then help carry beanbags, hang up posters, put down potted plants and more things like that to make it work for oSC?!? We really need some help with that, so anyone... please? It'd be nice if you let us know if you can help, but even if you don't - just show up saturday as early as possible (not before 10, of course) and help us cary stuff around :D /The conf team

[opensuse-project] Change of Emailadresses (from @novell.com to @suse.com) for openFATE and bugzilla
by Andreas Jaeger 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

FYI, most SUSE employees - including myself - have changed their emailaddresses which they use in openFATE and bugzilla from @novell.com to @suse.com. Btw. I still read emails on all accounts, this change is just for adding anybody manually to an openFATE request or bugzilla report. A sidenote: For lizards and news.opensuse.org, the emailaddress is the key for authentification. If your email adress is changed and you can't login anymore, tell the admins (via news(a)opensuse.org), Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE aj(a){suse.com,opensuse.org} Twitter/Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] [gsoc] Archlinux backend for OBS final evaluations report
by Nikolay Rysev 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

Hello, all! This mail is final evaluations report for my project. Unfortunately not all initial goals [from my proposal] were done due to my illness, but I have some results which I want to present. Overall "what is done": - Arch module for "build" which can: * parse PKGBUILDs and extract dependencies * parse .PKGINFO files from .pkg.tar.?z pakages and get info about it - Helper script, which gets repository metadata and prints information about packages in build corresponding format (package metadata parsing functions are also in arch module, so anyone can use them if needed) - Setup of Archlinux-specific build environment in init_buildsystem - Actual build in "build" script Now Archlinux backend is able to do _standalone_ builds. It's interesting, but it's not what we want. Of course I'll continue my work to fully integrate Archlinux support to OBS (independently of final evaluations results and after end of this GSoC). Now I plan to add support to libsatsolver [1] and integrate into OBS [2] (after polishing of the backend, see below). Some notes about current implementation: it's not ideal. I see some bugs with dependency tracking (maybe we need to improve common code used for all distros, don't sure). Also it lacks support of multi-package PKGBUILD's and repos with not official-like structure. See TODO for more information [3]. Code is still located in my personal repo on gitorious (I think it's not ready yet to be merged with opensuse offcial repo) [4]. If you have any questions, suggestions or anything else — feel free to contact me.

by Sebastian Oliva 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Hello, This is my last weekly report, for GSoC. My project is practically finished, with working admin area. It still needs a bit of polish, especially on the visuals, but I think all can be resolved soon enough. I expect the following weeks for confirmation to implement it on a server and present it officially on the openSUSE Conference. The code is in gitorious.org/gsoc-2011/ Thanks to everyone that have helped, Google, openSUSE, and special thanks to my mentor, Mr. Kai-Uwe Behrmann Please feel free to contact me with any feedback or comment.
