[yast-devel] Use check_ycp
by Karl Eichwalder 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

Please, use check_ycp to find strings that are not marked ("_(...)) for translation and mark them accordingly. This is causing quite some bug entries... I'd also appreciate if you'd create a list of false positives. Otherwise you will see the same reports with every release... -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] really abort pop up
by Martin Schmidkunz 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

Hi everybody, as might have noticed I am going through the modules and try to apply the YaST style guide to them. First of all I want to thank all of you who are willing to apply the proposals. Especially as it is Beta/RC time for openSUSE 11.1 and SLE 11 , so many of you are busy with things that have more priority than button labeling :-) The next issue I want to raise is the really abort library (http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/SL11.1/modules/Popup.html#ReallyAbort) which according to my information is used when the user made changes in a module and closes the module. Currently there are the following usability issues with this library: * inconsistent use * inconsistent text * yes/no as button labels might confuse the user and should be avoided So, my proposal would be * use ReallyAbort only when the user made some changes in the module and clicks on cancel * redesign the pop up into: http://en.opensuse.org/Image:Ysg_discarding_changes_notbold.png What do you think of the proposal? Is it understandable? For the redesign in general: should I make a bug entry or a FATE entry or can be adjusted without any of those two mechanisms? Thanks and have a nice weekend, Martin -- Martin Schmidkunz User Experience Specialist martin.schmidkunz(a)novell.com +49 (0) 911 740 53-346 ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Novell, Inc.

[yast-devel] Use URL::HidePassword() when logging an URL
by Ladislav Slezak 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

Hi all, keep in mind that URL may contain a user name and a password. When an URL with password is logged to y2log the password should be hidden for security reasons (see bnc#441944). There are new functions URL::HidePassword() and URL::HidePasswordToken() for hiding the password in an URL (added in yast2-2.17.47). The first one takes an URL string as the input, the second one takes a map (as returned by URL::Parse() function). Both functions replace the password by string 'PASSWORD' so we can detect in y2log that an URL with password was used. So instead of y2milestone("Adding repository %1", url); use y2milestone("Adding repository %1", URL::HidePassword(url)); Fortunately libzypp hides the password by default so there should not be many places which logs a full URL. And of course, this won't help if Y2DEBUG is enabled. We would need a new datatype or a flag in the interpreter to fix it with Y2DEBUG enabled. -- Best Regards Ladislav Slezák Yast Developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: lslezak(a)suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 960 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] Testing the package UI
by Gabriele Mohr 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I have added an article about testing the package UI, esp. the dependency popup to http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Development/Misc. 'deptestomatic.multi' from package libzypp-testsuite-tools is used to read a solver test case and to create the package UI which shows the popup with unresolved dependencies. There are also some test cases available now in libzypp-testsuite-tools-data.

[yast-devel] Nürnberg YaST team meeting 2008-11-25
by Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

present: mantel, schubi, dmacvicar, aschnell, sh, gs, shaas, snwint, tgoettlicher, ma, jdsn minutes: dmacvicar - biggest topic: how do we branch, when do we branch suggestion: branch a Code11 only, and branch again openSUSE/SLE only if required. linuxrc also follows this strategy - gs: fixing locking bug with rug -> locks are not matching certain packages. - libzypp: some issues with tribool usage in preferences/settings. - bnc#439802 WIP architecture change, rename and script requires bash, everything at the same time breaks installation order. - long discussion about non installed (satisfied) patterns/patches, and how they confuse users. - at least 4 bugs open about the topic - need to do something about it, either adapt the concept or the user interface - AI: remove fixed boost rps from prefered-rpms in cruisecontrol server. No longer needed (fixed boost is in factory) - dmacvicar has a patch for Qt 4.x tooltips, will send for review (not for 11.1) - PackageKit 0.3.11 was released, sreeves took that one. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] y2makepot
by Michael Meeks 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

Hi guys, I just had to bin Christian Jager's umlaut because y2makepot doesn't pass --from-code=UTF-8 to xgettext - he appears in a translated string you see, and without this xgettext demands ascii. Any chance of a fix for the next version ? Thanks, Michael. -- michael.meeks(a)novell.com <><, Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

They were broken with the Qt 4.x port. See patch attached. I am not sure if the column number is calculated right. Please review it ;-) I am not sure if it is the right way to do custom tooltips in Qt 4.x Duncan

[yast-devel] Information needed
by Oliver Block 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

Hello, I just tried to install Opensuse 10.1 -- for building 10.1 packages -- and while I try to select software it turns out that the Catalog cannot by found. Is there any chance to set the catalog home as yast command line option or environment variable?

[yast-devel] 'tty_wrapper' in yast2-core-2.17.21
by Ladislav Slezak 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

Hi all, I just have submitted a new yast2-core package. The change is a new binary called 'tty_wrapper' (installed by default as /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/tty_wrapper). The wrapper is intended for scripts and other tools using yast in command line mode. Currently running a yast module in command line mode requires access to a tty device. When there is no tty device the yast module doesn't print anything to the output. (See bnc#444228) Changing the yast interpreter would be a big architectural change so I have created a small wrapper which opens a new terminal device inside and starts a new subprocess there. The wrapper uses stdin and stdout/stderr for reading/writing. So in fact it converts tty IO to stdio IO. The wrapper is generic and can be used with any command, i.e. it's not limited to yast. Usage: /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/tty_wrapper <command> [<option1> [<option2> [...]]] Example: /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/tty_wrapper /sbin/yast2 sysconfig help > stdout 2> stderr < /dev/null Without the wrapper there would be just empty files. -- Best Regards Ladislav Slezák Yast Developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: lslezak(a)suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 960 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org
