[yast-devel] Time to branch the repositories?
by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 12 Mar '20

12 Mar '20

As Lukas mentioned in another thread, it's time to start looking to the next big topic(s). And, while there are still some bugs to fix before the release of SLE-15-SP2 / Leap 15.2, we should be very conservative about what we modify there. So, in my opinion, it's time to create the SLE-15-SP2 branches in all the YaST repositories, so we can "go wild" in the master branch without affecting 15.2 and be more selective about what we submit to that release (to not invalidate all the testing done already). Anyone against it? If not, I would do the branching on Monday, so next sprint can already be planned with that separation in mind.

[yast-devel] JFYI: libyzpp 17.23.2 switches from using -std=c++14 to c++17
by Michael Andres 09 Mar '20

09 Mar '20

Hi. This switch alone should not have impact on the apps linking against libzypp. But Future APIs may make use of new stl types like std::string_view or the filesystem library, ..... You won't be able to use them if you stay with an older standard. -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres, E&I, ma(a)suse.com, Phone: ++49 (0)911 - 74 053-0 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg Germany, (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Geschäftsführer: Felix Imendörffer +------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] GitHub template repository
by Ladislav Slezak 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Hi all, when reading the GitHub documentation I came across this "creating template repository" [1] documentation and how to use it [2]. A template repository is basically similar to forks, but unlike forks which link to the original repository and are mainly used for upstream contribution, the templates are used for starting a new completely separated project, just with some initial content from the template. We could create a template repository for a generic YaST module, to answer the common question "I want to create my own YaST module, where should I start?". Or maybe we could simply enable using the existing journalctl tutorial [3] as a template? What do you think about it?

[yast-devel] Unifying YaST Contributing Guidelines
by David Díaz 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Hi! As you probably know ;) we have more than 100 repositories. There fore, we have more than 100 CONTRIBUTING.md files, all of them with (in theory) the same content. That's means that we need to do more than 100 commits and pull requests for every little change in that file. Like now, that we should fix the broken Bugzilla link[1] fixing the product param. So, I'd like to propose having the full content only in the yast-yast2/CONTRIBUTING.md file[2] and a link to this file in the rest of them. What do you think? Do you have a better idea? Thank you!

[yast-devel] Discussing another usability problem in YaST
by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Sending this to both Ken (SUSE's UX expert) and the yast-devel ML (for public scrutiny). We have recently implemented a new feature in YaST about installing packages that are needed to inspect the storage setup of a system. But we are not satisfied with the usability, so we wanted to have some feedback about how to do things better. Here you can find a description of the problem: https://gist.github.com/ancorgs/d2565bf505834329946a998500a326c8 Feel free to comment in that gist or via mail.

[yast-devel] 15.2 enable online repositories?
by Felix Miata 02 Mar '20

02 Mar '20

Why, when attempting a NET upgrade, after selecting which installation to upgrade, is the subject question asked? Answering no causes a nothing to do result. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!
