package upstream test suite for 'bind'an idea by hrommel1 Upstream (ISC) has a rich test suite for their name service daemon 'bind' (aka 'named'). It covers both different configurations as well as different topologies for DNS. Since we perform maintenance updates of this (probably most crucial) part of the Internet every now and then we should invest into making this test suite easy to use both for packagers and QA. |
gocloud - uploader framework for the public clouda project by sax2 We from the public cloud dev team regularly upload generic and product images to be available in public cloud systems like Amazon EC2, Google Compute Engine or Microsoft Azure. The task of uploading stuff there is not only about having the tools it's also about having the right environment which provides account credentials as well as access to the image when they are built in the buildservice. Also the location from where the upload happens can make a difference in performance. Therefore a framework to combine all this into a more clean process should be developed. The basic parts of the project consists of: |

Fix a focus stealing bug in pidgin in openSUSEa project by moskyto I have an IRC tab open in pidgin and an adjacent XMPP tab; the latter one displayed with focus.

It brings annoying situations when I sometimes send something accidentally to the IRC instead of XMPP, not noticing that I don't have focus. Wanna hunt and fix this bug. |
Port a fake signal optimization to kGrafta project by mbenes We currently work on a consistency model for upstream livepatching infrastructure. We use something called a fake signal to speed up a finalization of the patching process. I'll port the implementation to kGraft in SLES which should allow to remove immediate patching since it has recently proved to be problematic... |
Multiqueue ramdiska project by hreinecke There is a ramdisk block device (brd), and there is a null multiqueue device (nullblk). The one can do I/O, but doesn't use multiqueue, and the other does multiqueue but cannot do I/O. So the idea is to have a new multiqueue ramdisk block device (ramblk?), which can do both. Would be most useful for testing multiqueue. |
Dive into drbd8.4.x and drbd9a project by wanghaisu DRBD refers to block devices designed as a building block to form high availability (HA) clusters.Also possible to combine multiple devices driver for Linux(MD) and the network block device(NBD) to achieve similar functionality. DRBD is done by mirroring a whole block device via an assigned network. DRBD can be understood as network based raid-1. Only two nodes are supported in 8.4.x. For the drbd9(dev in RC phase), multiple nodes can be supported as well. Diving into it and do hacks. |
Learn more about dropwatcha project by david_chang dropwatch is a utility which can help you to see if data is been dropped in linux network stack. The plan is to learn what actually dropwath can do and learn how does dropwatch work? and also learn how to use dropwatch? I'd like to get it working on openSUSE 13.2. |
