[yast-devel] Overcommit - automatic checks via Git hooks
by Ladislav Slezak 21 Dec '22

21 Dec '22

Hi, I found a quite interesting tool called Overcommit [1]. It provides an easy way for setting up Git commit hooks and provides some basic checking plugins. The nice feature of the Git commit hooks is that you can run some checks automatically and early in the development. For example with the commit hooks you can run Rubocop check automatically whenever a commit is created. And if the check fails the commit is not created. I can see "make Rubocop happy" commits quite often (happens to me as well), with Overcommit you can easily avoid that. I have tried several Overcommit checks: - Rubocop - runs Rubocop at "commit" - Rspec - runs the tests before "push" - Branch blacklist - can forbid direct commits to configured branches, e.g. "master" (forces using pull requests, avoids commits to master my mistake) - Commit message spellcheck - warns when there is a possible typo Check my blog post [2] for the details, esp. watch the recorded screencast where I wanted to show some mistakes which it can catch. The tool looks promising, I'll try using it for some time. If you want to try it as well check the blog post for the installation steps. Enjoy!

[yast-devel] YaST Tips&Tricks
by Ladislav Slezak 25 Jan '22

25 Jan '22

Hi all, some time ago we discussed where and how we should share "Tips&Tricks" for YaST users and developers. IIRC there was no clear conclusion so I decided to start a wiki [1] to collect all our tricks we know or use. For now it's just a place for dumping your ideas, links, short howtos, etc... When we collect enough data we can probably split it to several categories or move it somewhere else. We just need the data first. I have added there some my tricks from my personal "knowledgebase" file. If you have better tricks or find something wrong simply change it, it's a wiki ;-) Ladislav [1] https://github.com/yast/yast.github.io/wiki/YaST-Tips-and-Tricks -- Ladislav Slezák YaST Developer SUSE LINUX, s.r.o.

Revamping yast2-users: the UI
by David Díaz 14 Sep '21

14 Sep '21

Hi there! In the context of revamping yast2-users[1], I spent some days looking for an alternative layout that could help to improve the current UI by reducing the number of tabs and grouping form fields to make better use of available space. However, due to our resolution constraints (UI must fit well in an 80x24 terminal) and some UI library limitations[2], looks like there is not too much room for big changes and our best bet is to keep the layout almost as it is, just making some necessary adjustments[3]. Summarizing them a lot, those changes will consist of adding a top menu bar for making easier the user navigation, moving all settings to the same dialog, improving filters by using a popup, making small changes in forms, and adding some summary views. Of course, nothing is written in stone and it would be nice to know your feedback and/or ideas too. So, please, keep reading the following links if you are interested and tell us what do you think. Is there anything we overlooked? Some other ideas we should evaluate? Remember that you can reach us by email, on IRC, or even by directly leaving a comment in those Github issues. Thanks!

NameScheme=by-label on installer cmdline has had no effect I have observed for a lot longer than I can remember, several years at least, continuing in 15.3 build 117.13.

Wicked ifroute option in YaST?
by Attila Pinter 30 Jul '21

30 Jul '21

Hi, This is not so much of a bug, but a nice to have (and most systems have this) therefore I wasn't sure where to paste this question where it will be read. Apologies if this is not the place. Anyhow: I ran into this yesterday where I would've needed to set separate gateways for a bond and a bridge interface, but the only option YaST offers is the global routing which in some cases it is insufficient. However, wicked offers `ifroute` which does exactly this and which I found way too late. Would this be something that can be integrated into YaST as well or considered to be integrated? Br, A.

Libyui tabs
by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 15 Jul '21

15 Jul '21

As you may know, this pull request in libyui brought nicer tabs in Qt that rely on QTabWidget https://github.com/libyui/libyui/pull/31 As explained there, some hacks were needed because the philosophy of tabs in Qt is different from the one in libyui. With Qt, the widgets contained in all tabs exist in memory (they keep their state and can be referenced) as long as the group of tabs exists. Changing between tabs is controlled by Qt itself (mostly transparent to the program) and its just a matter of which widgets are visible and which are not. In some sense, switching tabs is not so different from scrolling a screen - some widgets will become visible and other will not be longer in the spotlight, but all widgets are still there. With libyui, switching a tab is just an event and it's program responsibility to actually redraw the content below the tabs. Something that is done thanks to the usage of replace points and that implies destroying all the visible widgets and creating new ones to be drawn in their places. If the program is using CWM (which offers an extra abstraction layer on top of libyui with it's own sequence of events), that means that for every widget that becomes hidden (destroyed, actually) a "validate" and a "store" events are triggered. On the other hand, the status of every widget that becomes visible (created again, actually) must be initialized based on an "init" event (apart from calling the constructor, the usual calls to "content", etc.). While reviewing the changes in libyui we came to the question of whether it would be actually better to adopt the Qt philosophy in libyui. Maybe with an alternative widget (to not completely break backwards compatibility and CWM tabs). What do you think? Would it be worth considering?
