[yast-devel] Highlights of development sprint 106
by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 17 Aug '20

17 Aug '20

Although the YaST team is focusing on bugfixing in this summer season, we still have three interesting features to share with our fellow chameleons: - New menu bar widget in libYUI. Check the screenshots in the blog post. - Configuration of the firewall in AutoYaST moved to the first stage. - Preliminary support to mark the packages affected by BootHole and show a warning message if such old packages are going to be installed. Check the extended versions with links at https://yast.opensuse.org/blog/2020-08-17/sprint-106 Cheers. -- Ancor González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE Linux GmbH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] First meeting to discuss the long term vision for our UI framework
by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 11 Aug '20

11 Aug '20

The YaST team wants to take some time to think in the long term and try to envision the future of our UI design/programming... which may be anything from just an improved libYUI to something completely different and unrelated. It likely makes sense to start discussing what are the requisites (and/or use cases) for the UI of YaST in the long term, so we have planned a meeting with all the interested people in this topic tomorrow Thursday at 2pm CEST. Usual meeting point: https://li2023-182.members.linode.com/#/rooms/2001 As said, the topic will be: requirements for the future UI of YaST. Some food for thought about the topic: - Do we ALWAYS need to offer TUI+GUI for all modules and steps? - Does it have any value to offer something else beyond TUI/GUI? - What are the requisites regarding support for programming languages? Those are not the only points to discuss, just some hints to get your brain started. Cheers. -- Ancor González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE Software Solutions -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] Innovation Time: Wild(?) UI Ideas
by josef Reidinger 10 Aug '20

10 Aug '20

Hi dear YaSTies, after thursday UI meeting I spend part of today researching and thinking about our UI and do some brainstorming. 1. TUI use cases Beside known limited serial line and low memory systems, one another well known use case is WSL. We use TUI here for firstboot and on windows there is by default no X server. I think that WUI could really help here. What can be a bit like competition to us just on different level is IPMI and it is nowadays provided by BIOS or by WUI see https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Supermicro_IPMI_Configuration_through_… And BIOS uses TUI. 2. terminal output of autoyast Well, to this idea brings me mentioning of readline and also usage of autoyast for more complex cases. Basically idea is to have just progress output for autoyast + error reporting ( so no semi automatic or stuff like this in autoyast ). And instead of TUI beside gui it can use simple terminal output e.g. using this quite nice library - https://github.com/shopify/cli-ui or tty-progressbar 3. WUI for autoyast config When I am thinking about replacing TUI by WUI and how to start, then I think ideal candidate is autoyast config UI because: a. current state is bad b. it is too much restricted by system where it runs ( e.g. just think about how much UI is affected by system architecture like not showing s390 options or not able to run it at all ) c. its output is just XML file, no system modification d. I have in mind nice use case of hosted autoyast config creator with maybe nice feature of using mksusecd and creating dvd including autoyast profile, that can be auto detected. So you download iso with your preconfigured autoyast profile. e. it is not used in installation 4. drag and drop in ncurses it should be possible as mouse support mouse down and also mouse up. See doc at https://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/mouse.html BTW there is also quite nice quick intro to curses at https://www.2n.pl/blog/basics-of-curses-library-in-ruby-make-awesome-termin… Josef -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] Highlights of development sprint 105
by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 07 Aug '20

07 Aug '20

During the latest two weeks the YaST Team has fixed quite some bugs in (Auto)YaST, but we also has done more interesting stuff you can find in our usual report, including: - Documenting the current handling of the AutoYaST profile. - Removing an undocumented AutoYaST feature for creating images. - Improvements regarding I/O devices auto-configuration on s390. - Support for exporting the AutoYaST firewall section in compact format. - Some reduction in the size of the system images used by the installer. - Updating the documentation of mk_image. - Fixes in the Service Manager section of the AutoYaST UI. - Making YaST deal with the dual location of /usr/etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf. - Unified and more configurable layout for both the installer and YaST Firstboot. Check the extended versions with links and some screenshots at https://yast.opensuse.org/blog/2020-08-06/sprint-105 Cheers. -- Ancor González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE Linux GmbH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org
