[opensuse-factory] Integration of YaST in Ruby into Factory/openSUSE 13.1
by David Majda 04 Jun '13

04 Jun '13

Hi, as some may know, since January few SUSE developers in Prague are working on automatically translating YaST codebase from YCP (an old proprietary language) into Ruby. The main goals are to give the platform a technology boost, so that we can evolve it easier in the future, and lower the effort spent on maintenance in the long term. The project recently reached an important milestone -- we are able to install a 12.3-based system using an installer composed only of translated YaST modules: http://lists.opensuse.org/yast-devel/2013-05/msg00026.html We would like to integrate that work Factory/openSUSE 13.1 soon. Technically the integration mainly means that we would do a final switch of the language to Ruby in YaST's Git repository and submit updated packages into Factory. We think we will be able to do this in time for M4. We'd also like to use M2 and M3 as test-beds and produce our own versions of the images (meaning we'll take exactly the same packages as in M2/M3, replace the YaST ones with Ruby version, and build the image in the same way as official images). We'd also like to use the openQA infrastructure to test our images extensively. We think that with this approach we'll be well-prepared for the final integration and we'll minimize the number of bugs and regressions. For more details about the plan and reasoning behind it, see my e-mail on yast-devel: http://lists.opensuse.org/yast-devel/2013-05/msg00035.html Since this is a big change, I thought it would be good to announce it here. If anyone has any questions or objections, please let me know so we can discuss them and possibly adapt the plan. Thanks. -- David Majda SUSE Studio developer http://susestudio.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Upgrading openSUSE 12.3 to Tumbleweed
by Malte Gell 03 Jun '13

Hi there, I just upgraded - or try to do so - openSUSE 12.3 to Tumbleweed. I now did the following, I deleted all 12.3 repos from YaST and then I added theses repos with the following priorities: update/openSUSE-current/ priority 75 update/openSUSE-non-oss-current/ priority 75 openSUSE:/Tumbleweed/standard/ priority 79 distribution/openSUSE-current/repo/non-oss/ priority 80 distribution/openSUSE-current/repo/oss/ priority 80 And the Packman stuff, priority 81 (Essentials, Extra, Games, Multimedia). Does this make sense so far? After the updates, /etc/SuSE-release still says "openSUSE 12.3" and not Tumbleweed, in the Grub2 screen I also still see openSUSE 12.3. Does this not change to "Tumbleweed"? The latest stable KDE is part of Tumbleweed, I do not need seperate KDE repo for Tumbleweed?

[opensuse-factory] OBS downtime in about 8 hours
by Adrian Schröter 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

JFYI We need to move the data of the binary storage system to a new place. Therefore please expect a downtime in 8 hours between 22:00 - 1:00 UTC The server will be up most of the time, but server side builds will be disabled for a final sync for at least 1 hour. You can do any source or request operation during the time nevertheless. But do not expect that any job starts or the build state does change. We will have afterwards a bit faster binary backend and we will be prepared to split the binary backend using multiple hosts. This will allow us to scale better in future. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian(a)suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi all, What's the status on including stuff into ob/factory that has a freeware (non-binary, e.g icon-themes, cursor themes and co.) licence into factory/obs in general? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
