app localization visualizer
an invention by sbrabec
Tracking and fixing translations in modern applications is a surprisingly complicated task. Visible strings often come from several projects, and strings can be processed by a complex formating. The project should extend the current project trace-wrappers to easily display string sources inside the application. The project successfully reached a working state: watch gettext
YaST module for smarmontools
an idea by sbrabec
smartmontools has a number of options that fine tune disk checking, periodic tests, short tests, values to monitor, values to ignore. It would be nice to have a tool to easily configure it.
Improve posixovl to support fully featured POSIX file system on top of any limited file system (e. g. vfat)
a project by sbrabec
posixovl is a FUSE based successor of the old UMSDOS. It has a goal to provide POSIX file system functionality on top of vfat. Its code is nice and well written, but its feature set is not complete yet. It just supports: POSIX modes and user/group, hard and symbolic links, device nodes and named pipes. Much more can be done:
mount option helper for VFAT and other file systems
a project by sbrabec
While auto-mounting a VFAT volume in a desktop environment, there is no way to select required mount options for the particular volume. But there is no combination of options that will fit to all purposes. Without being able to choose mount options, some tasks work in an inferior way.
Improve plural support in gettext tools
a project by sbrabec
gettext tools are used by many other projects to process translation files. The support for plurals is relatively new, and works only in basic cases.
User assisted udev rules
an idea by sbrabec
udev is a perfect tool for applying hardware based rules. But there are some devices that are indistinguishable by its identification and even by probe. Such devices need user assistance to get them properly identified.
translation update service for OBS
a project by sbrabec
Translations get more and more important in packages live. Currently, translation-update-upstream is the only tool capable to update packages translation. It was designed 10 years ago. It is a hard to use monolithic tool that does not use advantages of openSUSE Build Service.
Bring /media directory back
a project by sbrabec
/media was a very comfortable thing standardized by FHS. After introduction of desktop based udisks mounts, the directory became empty. Paths like /run/media/me/directory or /run/user/1000/gvfs are used nowadays. When used from a terminal, it is very uncomfortable. As mounts are private to users, the old style of /media use cannot be returned back. But with a kernel namespaces feature, it is possible to make private mounts, and each user can see a different contents of /media.
Advanced suspend/resume control
a project by sbrabec
Project Description
I am often work remotely on my desktop. Remote work on the desktop is complicated by a nice desktop feature – automatic suspend. There already exists a desktop integration, so the desktop applications could prevent the suspend. But sshd is not included yet.
