In the last couple of weeks I’ve had some time to work on the software portal<\/a> project for the first time for a while.<\/p>\n

There is now a test snapshot<\/a> that you can play with if you wish, and help find bugs.<\/p>\n

Please do have a play<\/a> and leave comments here or file a bug report<\/a> under the Software Portal<\/a> component.<\/p>\n

You’ll need to register<\/a> to add comments\/screenshots\/tags etc. Unfortunately since the account you use to login to other openSUSE.org services is controlled by Novell and they provide no openid\/saml facility you cannot use the same user account. If you want permissions to edit application details just send me an email (benji at opensuse dot org).<\/p>\n

Most of the recent work has been under the hood. Significant speed improvements to the repository indexer and a Webpin compatible webservice that will enable the various<\/a> clients<\/a> to continue to work against software portal as they did with webpin until they can be ported to the new api.<\/p>\n

There are also some visible changes. The homepage now displays recent comments & top rated applications, and includes the tag cloud.<\/p>\n\"Software<\/a>\n

Users can now choose a specific vendor for an application for their distribution, as well as installing from the preferred vendor.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Editors can now customise which source packages map to which application.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

and which binary packages should be installed by default when a user clicks install.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
