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!

Restoring a deleted Github repo
by David Díaz 14 Sep '21

14 Sep '21

Hi! Did you know that a deleted Github repository is recoverable[1] along with all its issues and PRs? I didn't. It has been useful for recovering and transferring two open issues[2][3] in a YaST repository destroyed ~3 months ago. Not before making sure all its forks were removed too because, at the time of writing, a repo can't be restored if there is any fork alive. Honestly, those issues weren't that relevant/helpful, but I couldn't resist trying to restore them. Thanks to Imobach, Áncor, and Iván for helping me to please my curiosity :) :) [1] https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/… [2] https://github.com/yast/yast-users/issues/324 [3] https://github.com/yast/yast-users/issues/325 -- David Díaz YaST Team at SUSE LINUX GmbH IRC: dgdavid

Anyone against or anyone still find that projects useful? If not, I will remove them on friday. Josef
