[zypp-devel] Enhanced zypper 'search'

Hi all, new zypper-1.8.13 comes with new features for the 'search' command. The major improvements are: * It's possible the specify capabilities for the search strings, i.e. architecture, version and an operation can be included. Example: zypper se 'libzypp.i586>11.6' * Search strings enclosed by '/' are interpreted as a regular expression. Example: zypper se '/^kde/' * Searching for dependencies, means provides, requires, recommends, suggests, conflicts and/or obsoletes of a package is supported and also searching in the file list (if looking for provides, the file list is checked, too). Example: zypper se --requires libzypp Note: The command 'what-provides' is now included in 'search' and is automatically replaced by 'search --match-exact --provides' * The option '--verbose' has been added which shows where the search has matched. This is very useful when searching in dependencies. For more details see 'zypper help search' and 'man zypper'.

[zypp-devel] GSOC 2013 Project :Automatic Resizing of LVM and filesystems
by Akif Khan 19 Mar '13

Hi I am interested in GSOC 2013 project that is Automatic Resizing of LVM and File system. The basic idea of project is below: If the free space drops before certain threshold etc. The installer should be modified to compute the necessary space needed for installing the selected set of packages and allocate the LVM volumes 'just big enough' for the installation. With future automatic resizing of the LVM / FS, this would save storage capacity in the volume group which would otherwise be unnecessarily allocated for /, /usr etc. Details can be found here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC_ideas#Automatic_resizing_of_LVM_volume… I am very much interested to work for this project idea under the guidance of a mentor. Unlikely there is no mentor for this project right now, So i would be thankful if anyone here can help me with this project. I am new to open source development and willing to work hard to contribute to openSUSE world.
