Re: [opensuse-factory] Beta1 on VMWare requesting host clock rate change

Re: [opensuse-factory] brp scripts in autobuild
Hi From [EMAIL PROTECTED]: from various discussions in bug reports I know that brp scripts for the following are installed in autobuild: - check whether .la files have an empty dependency_libs line - check whether .la and .pc files have references to the build root - check whether .desktop files have all their icons installed Are these scripts publicly available somewhere? They are not distributed with rpm, build or osc and I could not find them anywhere else either. Currently not. If not, would it be possible to publish these (and others, if present)? Adding this to my ToDo-List: talk to our managers and see what can be published. But please don't expect a fast answer... :-/ Greetings, Lars - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [opensuse-factory] Making the basesystem smaller
Am Do 18.01.2007 10:27 schrieb Ludwig Nussel [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Well, since yast asks for the root password in 2nd stage a system without yast would be somewhat useless as you couldn't even log in after installation. Thats why I wrote: deinstall after installation. So we can walk trough the complete second stage of installation and afterwards we've perhaps no YaST at all. So perhaps we need: - smaller dependencies between the YaST modules - a new YaST2-installation which contains all relevant parts (impossible imho) - a new step for deinstallation unneeded modules/rpms after installation is finished New items for AJs list: - Look for packages with more than x MB (lets start with 10MB) size and see if we can downsize them by repackaging. - Let the base pattern become very small and minimalistic. I agree with Klaus that we perhaps need something like a bash - but if you say that, there will probably be someone saying I need that fing 20MB editor named vi - or this is no minimal system to live with. So why not put only stuff like kernel, glibc and ... in the base pattern a system can not start with. Extend these base pattern with additional patterns like System administration (YaST), usefull system tools (vi, joe, ifconfig, ...). = This should result in a very small base pattern (target 1) = We can discuss about the additional (system) patterns for the base system in seperate threats.

Does anybody have experience with this? You should also install the acerhk-kmp package which fits to your kernel (acerhk-kmp-default.rpm). After that try # depmod -a # modinfo acerhk = You'll see a list of available options for this module. Normally it should be save to load it just with modprobe acerhk and watch /var/log/messages for kernel messages about this module. But you can set some options listed via modinfo for you modell. FYI: I placed the modprobe call in /etc/init.d/boot.local for my old Acer TM290 - and everything works fine.

Re: [opensuse] Subversion on SuSE
Hi Am Do 16.11.2006 19:49 schrieb Boyd Lynn Gerber [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I know that the SUSE developers do not always notice that packages have newer versions. That could be true for FACTORY - not for released products ;-) I not that the one's I have add to bugzilla as a feature request have all been updated. Maybe someon should file a bug feature request. You'll not get Version Upgrades for a released product directly over the SUSE update channel (ok: we have some exeptions). SUSE has a strict policy for released products: no version upgrades, only updates for the version released with the distribution. The trick behind it: sometimes developers decide to add new features and perhaps some API changes to new versions. If you have installed a programm on your system and SUSE will deliver a upgrade - perhaps afterwards neither your programm nor any other programm linked against it will execute... Ask people who decided to upgrade their KDE version: sometimes it works, sometimes not. So the answer is: yes, you can _upgrade_ - but you should know that your system can be unstable if something happens with the newer programm version. If you just _update_, everything should work as expected - and even better after the update. The SUSE developers spend a lot of time fixing old versions of a programm. Remember: the programms (and their version numbers!) on SLES10 have seven years support. So perhaps in seven years, a user who has updated his system every day will just have subversion 1.3.1 on his plattform - but this version should be very stable then. ;-) Greetings, Lars -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Currently we're changing very much and try to integrate things we've outsourced to helper scripts bevore (with the intention to make the CD creation process a little bit faster). In the end we can hopefully create a new package containing scripts for creating installation and update sources, CDs and so on . Currently you can find the latest official script in the rpm autoyast-utils.

As far as I understand, I could just add OOo and then during installation will install all dependencies? Yes. Thats one thing the resolver does (hopefully ;-). What happens when I then want to deinstall OOo? Will it recognise the extra things it installed, or will that still be left behind? Should be nearly the same as rpm -e OOo... What about things I installed with rpm -Uvh? No problem with that - it's the same behavior as bevore.
