[edit]Feature test plan
Basic reqirements:
install openSUSE 11.1 beta 4
meet in #opensuse-testing on irc.freenode.org
How to work on it:
we will put the numbers of the features someone is already working on in the topic, so look there first
scan through the list below and pick one you want to do
announce the number in the irc channel, it will added to the topic
if you finished the test, say it on the channel. Number will be removed from topic again and added to the wiki.
To make it less complicated we should think about that only one person edits the wiki page.
[edit]openSUSE 11.1 Feature Test List
Here is the list of openSUSE 11.1 features. All of these features have to be tested if they are implemented and working as expected.
If you want to help testing, select the feature you want to test, edit this page and set it's "Testing Result" to "running" when starting the tests. After finishing the test, please edit the page again and set the result either to "passed" or to "failed".
If the test do not pass, please also create a bug report in Bugzilla (see Bug Reporting FAQ for details) including the "Feature No".
If you are unable to finish the test, please reset the "Testing Result" from "running" to "idle".
Thanks a lot for your support.
[edit]YaST DNS module should support creation of all RR types (Feature No: 206)
Category: YaST
Status: ready to test
Test Result: idle
Tester:
Description:
At present using YaST DNS module we can create records of only four RR types. It
should be extended to create all the BIND 9.x supported RR types


[edit]Make Fn-F7 work on laptops to switch the internal/external displays (Feature No: 4147)
Category: Mobility
Status: implementation
Test Result: idle
Tester:
Description:
Different laptops have different methods of reporting the Fn-F7 key ("switch the internal/external displays"). We have to make all laptops eventually produce the same X keysym, so that desktops can grab that key and process it. Once the key is pressed, the desktop should scan the available monitors/projectors and set up a reasonable configuration for them.


[edit]No root for adding a local printer (Feature No: 4162)
Category: Desktop, Usability
Status: implementation
Test Result: idle
Tester:
Description:
An administrator for a machine should be able to specify whether the user needs
the root password to add a printer.


[edit]Security Issues with Suspend and Resume (Feature No: 100243)
Category: Mobility
Status: ready to test
Test Result: idle
Tester:
Description:
Simple request:
For security reasons, the user should - perhaps optionally - get asked
for user password and also for passwords of crypto partitions when the
system wakes up from suspend.
But
Following a summary of a discussion between Vojtech Pavlik, Stefan Seyfried,
Stefan Behlert and Andreas Jaeger:
Best way would be to have an encrypted swap, because swap does
contain sensitive data (including possibly the crypto paritition
password).

Have an encrypted swap. All the time.

While suspending most pages are simply swapped out, and thus
also encrypted.

Then, the rest of memory and nonswappable memory are dumped
out. This would also need to be encrypted, and WILL contain the crypto
partition and cryptoswap passwords.

Initramfs can then ask for the _swap_ password, and initiate
resume with that.

The resume process will overwrite the in-RAM kernel with the
one that knows all the passwords.

We're running.

Encrypted swap.

Encrypted swsusp, passing password on
resume.
Vojtech still believes that it'd be very nice if we could pass in the
password through the bootloader, as the bootloader has a nice graphical
interface, and thus it looks much nicer than doing it in the init
scripts. Also the need to wait until the system asks would be gone.
This doesn't preclude doing resume from initramfs of course. Just moves
the data entry.


[edit]Theming by OEM (Feature No: 100246)
Category: OEM Preload
Status: ready to test
Test Result: idle
Tester:
Description:
An OEM might also want to add theming, e.g. icons, wallpaper, and
extra packages.


[edit]Easy Setup of Bluetooth Headsets (Feature No: 100301)
Category: Bluetooth, Configuration
Status: implementation
Test Result: idle
Tester:
Description:
Headsets that are connected to the computer using Bluetooth should be easily
configurable and usable for the normal user.
There's a project called 'bluetooth-alsa' that's working on that feature.
But that solution is not in a final state. Best solution would be to have an
ALSA-plugin which allows the connection to the Bluetooth-headset. Such a plugin
can only be created after the ALSA-SDK has been finished by tiwai@suse.de.
The current available solution with bluetooth-alsa requires a kernel-modul
named snd-bt-sco. This should not be part of the 'normal' kernel package but an
extra one. Additionally the programm btsco is currently needed.
It would be nice to have this in 9.3, but a first look at the modules was not
very convincing. We will wait until a sane ALSA-plugin exists before supporting
this.
Configuration using yast should only be considered after we have a final
solution.


[edit]Support a verbose logging mode in yast (Feature No: 100386)
Category: YaST
Status: ready to test
Test Result: idle
Tester:
Description:
Create a verbose logging mode in yast, where any action yast performs is logged. Any file yast touches should be logged (to /var/log/YaST2/y2log AND clean up the structure of that log file, to make it easier to read and interpret) and all changes on the systems configuration. The goal is to make it really transparent what yast does.


[edit]General Device Handling (Feature No: 110016)
Category: Base System, Hotplug, Storage and Partitioning
Status: ready to test
Test Result: idle
Tester:
Description:
It should be possible to configure any device except the root device (which is handled by initrd / initramfs) by hotplug processes. E.g. LVM or EVMS on devices configured by hotplug should be possible.
Hannes: The main problem is that udev for example has to learn to wait for multiple disks till LVM could be startet. Questionable for the SP1 timeframe


[edit]Package history (Feature No: 110205)
Category: Systems Management
Status: implementation
Test Result: failed
Tester: badshah
Description:
There should be a way to view the package origin and history.

Where does the package come from ?

Why was it installed ?
Part of product ? Part of patch ? Manually ?

Which were the previous versions ?
And possibly where did the previous version come from

...
Of course, this would also need a config file history. (A backup of changed
config files is already created during distribution upgrade.)

When is the history cleared ?
Probably at every distribution upgrade.

...
partially passed, does most of the things well. But when a software is manually
installed by invoking zypper from command-line the history shows installation due
to solver (empty column, instead of root@host). Yet when called from yast, it
correctly registers history.)

[edit]Ability to Ignore Updates (Feature No: 120118)
Category: Desktop, YaST, ZENworks, zypp
Status: ready to test
Test Result: failed
Tester: cboltz
kupdateapplet does not offer an option to do this Bug #442388
Description:
There should be a way to tell the update applet to ignore an update and
not turn red for it. A user might not want to go through the hassle of
downloading a specific package and ignore it but wants to be informed
about further updates.
[edit]Use gettext for .desktop translations (Feature No: 300461)
Category: Internationalization (I18N / L10N)
Status: implementation
Test Result: idle
Tester:
Description:
Right now we use .desktop files for GNOME menu.
This should be either replaced or enhanced with a gettext lookup in
desktop_translations - so we can update translations easily.
See feature #110086.
Note that this not strictly a SP1 feature. But we don't need it earlier than
we have the first language update - which might sooner than SP1, but will
be later than GA.
In GNOME, translating .desktop files is not sufficient. There is a list of places, where GNOME carries translations in multi-lingual files: gdm configuration, gdm themes, soundlists, mime-info keys (obsolete), icon themes, emblem descriptions, mime descriptions (freedesktop standard), gconf schemas, gconf keys (autogenerated), dia sheets, gok stuff, background names, xkb maps, gedit tags, gnopernicus presentations, gweather locations, printer names, gnome-about info, bonobo servers
In Xorg: Keymap names

[edit]make "/" mountable ro (Feature No: 300617)
Category: not specified
Status: ready to test
Test Result: idle
Tester:
Description:
Especially in ThinClient-Environments it is desirable, to have only one root-fs for all systems; the same condition also applies for SAN-booting systems and clusters, where all systems should be able to boot off only one image.
This goal can be reached in two ways:
FHS, Chapter 2
Boot from the network
/ is read only and all variable content external to /

[edit]Writer Fields in OpenOffice (Feature No: 300994)
Category: OpenOffice.org
Status: ready to test
Test Result: idle

[edit]Evolution SOAP performance (Feature No: 301016)
Category: Evolution
Status: ready to test
Test Result: idle
Tester:
Description:
Performance and other IMAP/SOAP protocol usage issues
IMAP protocol usage fixes - DESIRABLE
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206061 has complete information. The issue lies in the amount of internet-bandwidth that is being consumed by the IMAP provider in Evolution.
GW Protocol usage issues: - MANDATORY
Performance issues - Mailer (MANDATORY)
Incremental Message-Loading
Instead of waiting for all the messages to be loaded. Load messages as they arrive. (50 at a time)
Memory Usage
For GW read-cursor ALL and IMAP refresh_info a lot of memory is used. Typically O(n) amount of memory is used where n is the number of mails. This has to be reduced to a constant value, say, K.

No interface available to get the list of items deleted after a given timestamp
No interface available to get the count of items in a container - mails in a folder
Use getItems instead of getItem to reduce the number of round-trips to the server - thereby reduces the time to fetch-mails. However, this might lead to memory build-up, which should be considered.

[edit]Configure firewall to accept bcast replies (Feature No: 301134)
Category: Configuration, Security, YaST
Status: implementation
Test Result: idle
Tester:
Description:
Currently firewall cannot be configured to accept replies for the hosts broadcasts. It brings several limitations:
- network cannot be scanned via the SLP protocol
- Samba network browsing does not work
Switching firewall off is no way even in trusted networks, due to mobility of some hosts, which may bring malware to the network.
The best solution would be to add support for accepting bcast replies to iptables. YaST can do some hack solution for its purposes (scanning network via SLP).
There is some discussion in bzilla about this topic.


[edit]the DASD section in an autoyast profile can't be changed via pre-script (Feature No: 301193)

Modify the paragraph dialogs and rulers to match.


[edit]Run online update during autoinstallation (Feature No: 301298)
Category: Systems Management
Status: ready to test
Test Result: idle
Tester:
Description:
Currently it there is no direct way to run online update (non-interactively) during autoinstallation. Adding the call of inst_you.ycp to yast2-online-update should be easy, but the challanging part is to solve restarting of YaST during autoinstallation.
During standard installation, online-update might require reboot (after the installation of kernel update) or restart of YaST (after updating YaST packages) - in both cases the installation succesfully continues: after the reboot it goes to next installation step, after YaST restart it runs the online-update step again (because there might be some patches left).


[edit]Heartbeat: Leverage openAIS infrastructure (Feature No: 301322)
Category: High Availability
Status: ready to test
Test Result: idle
Tester:
Description:
openAIS is a standards-based and "widely" adopted messaging infrastructure, providing virtual synchrony and other features. This should replace the legacy messaging service in Heartbeat 2.x. The intent is to make the cluster stack more reliable, easier to maintain by leveraging a standard library, and easier to integrate with other software also using openAIS (like some Device Mapper storage targets and other cluster-aware applications).
While the messaging layer switch should be straightforward, openAIS does not provide quorum, nor "ping" members. Switching messaging layers also has upgrade imp
