Mageia forum

Hi all

This is a mail sent today on mageia-dev mailing-list.

Following yesterday's meeting (See http://meetbot.mageia.org/mageia-dev/20 ... 19.04.html), we will start now listing what we could have in Mageia 2 technical specifications. As a result, please have a look in http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=iso2 ... cification.

Feel free to add proposals in any listed items (or add new one). Please add your name and explanations about it.

Deadline for proposals is 22th of June. Of course we will have to discuss about proposed choice, reject some if not reasonable or plan some others on long term projects. This will also depend on decision regarding release cycle (discussion on that point will start tomorrow)

Cheers

I'm really happy that there are numorous things that will be done (and that was not done in Mandriva) :
- XML metadata
- DrakX redisign
- Urpm backend for packagekit

Thanks Mageia !!

I don't want to be a bad girl but as said on wiki page, these are proposals. Still we will need to choose and organize all this, to make things fit between resources, feasibility... Stay tuned

I've added an "Installation media" section

.\\artin

i saw that the mageia 2 will use rpm-4.9 instead of rpm-5

is this true or just suggestion

=====+++++==================

any way if this is just a suggestions page

then for the games

can any one add there the games emulators there like

pcsx / pcsx2 / dolphin-emu

===============

and for the others

improving rpmdrak and let it can cancel the progress

we always know that rpmdrak when it download something have lots of dependency then it will seperate those in many groups

and after finishing one of those groups it will start to install all of its packages and continue to complete downloading/installing the other groups like this

my suggestion here when we give rpmdrak a cancel command then it will respons at the moment between finishing the installing the first group and downloading the other group

so how about it

That seems good , Why not GRUB2 instead of grub...............

Urpm backend for packagekit: so in mageia 2 we will have packagekit instead of MPM (mandriva package manager) or instead of the installer gui in the mageia control center?
DrakX redisign: this means a rewrite of the mageia control center (maybe with qt in the kde one)?

Again these are proposals. This does not mean it will be done

My proposal is don't put any gtk application in the kde iso and no qt application in the gnome iso. So rewrite with qt the mageia control center.

We are looking also for developers

I'm sorry but I don't have the necessary skills for be a dev. I'm really sorry

I like a lot KDE foorum's way to vote for a idea. Why not use the same for Mageia? http://forum.kde.org/brainstorm.php#cat83

Hi

I would say that a software to setup ir device and associate all keys with actions would be great.

I will like to see a better livecd installer. The reason is in this post:

Did you answer Akiens' question in his post:

Thanks RAIDENSUB!!!

Well, actually I posted a reply after seeing his message on this topic, so he's not to be blamed

Don't blame her or him, i only wanted her/him to make aware of your answer.

could xfce be included?
I like gnome2, but those days are drawing to a close
KDE is nice but resource hungry
I use chrome of chromium, picasa & google earth. it would be nice if they were in the repository....

Well, according to Mageia App DB, chromium is in the repos (search for chromium-browser, for chromium is a video game).

Ooops
wrong distro
you right
all the Google stuff loaded in no problem

Suse on the other hand
kicked my butt

Maybe a simple to do (GUI-)livecd-maker, so one can backup the whole system without efford in another way then with cloning.

Yes, the good desktops appear to be leaving. Infiltration?

I'm hoping Gnome3 isn't another touch screen centric DE
