kGraft (SLE Live Patching) Testing Repository Setupan idea by Jeffreycheung Per talk with Libor, there is another interesting task connected with Live Patching, and that's testing of the repository setup. As there is no one used the update mechanism in the way we are going to. Building a proof of concept ahead of time will likely save us headaches later on. |
Port debtags to SUSEan idea by dmuhamedagic The Debian debtags package and database are a flexible scheme to assign tags (properties) to packages of a distribution. It would be of benefit to SUSE to port debtags. What are these tags good for? |
Wicked source code research and technical document improvement.a project by bchou I had presented the "Wicked Network Manager" talk at openSUSE Asia summit @Beijing. I would like to keep studying the topic continuously. Getting involve the source code and study the operating style and components. I also met some problem after discussing and testing issues while my research , I want to keep it as a record and writing the technical document on wiki too. |
Automated tool to analyze quality of DV capture.a project by sreeves1 Tool to inspect the meta data from a mini DV firewire transfer and report any quality problems such as dropouts. Preferably a gstreamer 1.x based tool. |
Make systemd-nspawnd usable for support purposes.a project by tsaupe Report from the research mailing list: some colleagues and myself had a small SLES 12 troubleshooting workshop today. We were playing around with the rescue system. There is this magic tool called "systemd-nspawn" that is |
filesystem checking using symbolic executionan idea by jirislaby I already wrote a description and this shit ate it after I clicked create project (because "go home" overlapped). I won't write the long story second time, sorry. In short: symbolic execution on btrfs and input of death, that is. |
kGraft: allow to handle more patches in parallela project by pmladek Current kGraft implementation allows to apply new patch only when the previous one is applied to the whole system. Every task is handled separately and it needs to wait for a safe place to switch. It might take a while, especially when the task is sleeping. Therefore it would be great to allow to apply more patches in parallel. It is not trivial because different tasks might be in different world, so the slow stub has to be clever and choose the right one without taking any lock... |
DB for Solarpanelsan idea by ihno Take the data for the Solarpanels and put them into a DB and create an interface to make analysis on them. |
make FF use ntlm_auth for NTLMv2a project by jmcdough Firefox dropped its built-in ntlm auth as it only handled ntlmv1 (insecure). On windows it uses SSPI to handle the ntlm cases, and on other platforms it simply does not support NTLM at all (and then only v1) without a manual flag change. Let's get it recognizing /usr/bin/ntlm_auth as the system tool for doing this. |
Tool for WiFi access to Olympus Image Share APIa project by svollath Reverse engineering partially done already. Help appreciated with - decoding video stream from camera (overlay?) |
Bring up Linux on Optimus Board (Allwinner A80)a project by a_faerber The Allwinner Tech Optimus Board by Merrii is the evaluation board for the Allwinner A80 SoC with big.LITTLE Cortex-A15/-A7 configuration (32-bit ARMv7). The sources leaked from Allwinner contain GPL violations in U-Boot and Linux kernel and therefore won't easily build with openSUSE's armhf gcc (binaries seem to be softfp). |
KVM for Nvidia Jetson TK1a project by a_faerber The Nvidia Jetson TK1 is an SBC with Nvidia Tegra K1 SoC (quad-core Cortex-A15, 32-bit ARMv7). I have openSUSE running on the Jetson TK1, but KVM is currently not usable as the CPUs are not booted in HYP mode. Thierry Reding of Nvidia has some work-in-progress for U-Boot and upstream kernel that I would like to test. |
openSUSE for IFC6540a project by a_faerber The Inforce Computing IFC6540 is an SBC with Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 SoC (32-bit ARMv7). I had previously brought up openSUSE on the IFC6410. A week before Hackweek Interstellar I got the IFC6540 to boot on serial console using the upstream-based Linaro integration branch, up to searching for the rootfs. Since USB and SATA support were still missing, my goal will be to prepare a MicroSD based rootfs to complete the bringup. |
openSUSE for Firefly-RK3288a project by a_faerber The Firefly-RK3288 is the first SBC with the Rockchip RK3288 SoC, the first available chip with Cortex-A17 cores (32-bit ARMv7). I received such a board just in time for Hackweek Interstellar and will be looking into booting an upstream kernel with openSUSE 13.2/Factory rootfs. |

Investigate ruby apis for jenkins and libvirtan idea by vmoravec And consider making use of them in QA infrastructure |
GRUB menu for QA PXE boot environmentan idea by zluo At moment PowerKVM client needs to be shutdown after installation. A manual changes for boot orders in configuration file is needed for booting up SLES 12. The idea is to create GRUB menu which can be handed over from DNS Server to client when it starts up. The GRUB menu should contains normal installation option and entry which is able to boot SLES 12 from hard disk. |

Proof of Concept Support for SUSE Cloud, best practicea project by rsimai With many Proof of Concepts (PoCs) going on for SUSE Cloud, the development team has observed that we have no clear path on how Sales Engineers (SEs) and sometimes dedicated support engineers (xSE) can receive technical support to successfully complete the projects, often leading to escalation calls and even firefighting on-site visits by developers. Goal of that project is to come up with a best practice guide and to eventually set expectations on what's possible from a development point of view. Results should be documented in a central internal location and announced to all relevant parties. |
one-click distribution from web pagean idea by mhocko Maybe this is something we already know but I haven't found it. But found it really cool how Debian can be installed easily from Windows machines. Just have a look at http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ I have learned that our installation CD already can install OpenSUSE from Windows based systems so I think this shouldn't that hard to move this to we based installation. |

Improve retty toola project by jankara Retty is a tool for changing stdin,stdout,stderr of a running process (http://pasky.or.cz/dev/retty/) which may be handy if you want to attach to a process running e.g. from a died ssh session, changing running process to run from under screen(1) etc.. Currently it doesn't work for 64-bit systems and it doesn't handle changing of a controlling tty of a process (which may be possible using setsid() and opening a new tty). The aim of this project it to fix the above deficiencies and package the tool in OBS. |
