Ignition is an utility to manipulate disks and configuration files during the initramfs.
This includes partitioning disks, formatting partitions, writing files (regular files,
systemd units, etc.), and creating users. On first boot, Ignition reads its configuration
from a source of truth (remote URL, network metadata service, hypervisor
bridge, etc.) and applies the configuration.

okurz: I am not yet sure which repo(s) would be good for this project. openSUSE_Factory corresponds to where we want to submit to, openSUSE_Tumbleweed is what we test against in https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/latest?distri=openqa&test=openqa_install%2Bpublish

Quite some packages in openSUSE:Factory are not easy split into topic parts, so
we have this "the rest" project, that contains packages that do not really fit
anywhere else.

This project is different to many other devel projects in that the maintainers
are defined by package and not by project.

devel:openSUSE:Apps is the development space for leaf applications of openSUSE:Factory (Tumbleweed) and potential backport projects openSUSE:Apps

This project is STRICTLY for Application packages targeted at openSUSE:Tumbleweed and potentially at openSUSE:Apps - a collection project to provide up-to-date application versions to released products.

Tools for building software

Jenkins monitors executions of repeated jobs, such as building a software
project or jobs run by cron. Among those things, current Jenkins focuses
on the following two jobs:

1. Building/testing software projects continuously, just like
CruiseControl or DamageControl. In a nutshell, Jenkins provides an
easy-to-use so-called continuous integration system, making it
easier for developers to integrate changes to the project, and
making it easier for users to obtain a fresh build. The automated,
continuous build increases the productivity.
2. Monitoring executions of externally-run jobs, such as cron jobs and
procmail jobs, even those that are run on a remote machine. For
example, with cron, all you receive is regular e-mails that capture
the output, and it is up to you to look at them diligently and notice
when it broke. Jenkins keeps those outputs and makes it easy for you
to notice when something is wrong.

Site configuration for autoconf based configure scripts provides smart defaults for paths that are not specified.

Various compilers

LTTng (Linux Trace Toolkit Next Generation) is a tracer for Linux.
It is a kernel module accompanied by a toolchain (ltt-control) to control the tracing, as well as a trace viewing and analysis application (LTTV).
LTTng includes a set of kernel instrumentation points useful for debugging a wide range of bugs, that are otherwise extremely challenging.
These include, for example, performance problems on parallel systems and on real-time systems.
LTTng is designed for minimal performance impact and has a near zero impact when not tracing. LTTng has at least basic support for all Linux architectures.

to quote wikipedia:
Software Configuration Management (SCM) is part of configuration management (CM). Roger Pressman (in his book) Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach, says that software configuration management (SCM) is a "set of activities designed to control change by identifying the work products that are likely to change, establishing relationships among them, defining mechanisms for managing different versions of these work products, controlling the changes imposed, and auditing and reporting on the changes made." In other words, SCM is a methodology to control and manage a software development project.

SCM concerns itself with answering the question: somebody did something, how can one reproduce it? Often the problem involves not reproducing "it" identically, but with controlled, incremental changes. Answering the question will thus become a matter of comparing different results and of analysing their differences. Traditional CM typically focused on controlled creation of relatively simple products. Nowadays, implementers of SCM face the challenge of dealing with relatively minor increments under their own control, in the context of the complex system being developed.

calibre is an e-book library manager. It can view,
convert and catalog ebooks in most of the major e-book formats.
It can also talk to a few e-book reader devices. It can go out
to the Internet and fetch metadata for your books.
It can download newspapers and convert them into e-books for convenient reading.

This project contains normal text editors and special hexadecimal editors. Both for X11 and the console.

This Project contains several packages which might be interesting for educational use.
