[yast-devel] SLE11 YaST2 firstboot questions
by Gary Ekker 07 Jan '09

07 Jan '09

Hi all, I have a couple of questions as we are now beginning work on SLE 11 preloads. How does one enable the nice installer theme for yast2-firstboot? I'm really hoping this is possible, since the yast2 installer theme is so uber cool. Second question, is it possible two display two license agreements on the same step of the firstboot workflow? This is how another operating system does it, and it is a huge request of our OEM partners. I'm sure it is possible with a code change, if so which module needs updating? If it is just a config change in firstboot.xml, anyone know of an example? Thanks in advance and a Merry Christmas to all. -Gary -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] new builtin isempty
by Arvin Schnell 20 Dec '08

20 Dec '08

Hi Hackers, some eye-candy for Christmas! A tiny new ycp builtin named isempty for string, list and map (in yast2-core 2.18.0). If somebody wants it for path, term or byteblock just let me know. Beware: 'isempty(x)' is not equal to 'size(x) == 0'. The latter behaves different for 'x = nil' depending on the type of x. Unfortunately size is inconsistent in that respect: depending on the type you get '0' or 'nil' and sometimes an error message in the logs. isempty(nil) always return nil and logs an error (like size for string). ciao Arvin -- Arvin Schnell, <aschnell(a)suse.de> Software Engineer, Research & Development SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] New branch SuSE-Code-11-Branch has been just created
by Lukas Ocilka 15 Dec '08

15 Dec '08

Hi, I've just created a new *SuSE-Code-11-Branch* [1]. Please, use this branch for fixes for openSUSE 11.1 and SLE 11. We'll branch 11.1 when it is needed. The current *trunk* [2] should be used for upstream, e.g. openSUSE 11.2. Of course, fixes for SuSE-Code-11-Branch should go to trunk too (if applicable) [3]. Have a lot of fun! Lukas [1] http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/branches/SuSE-Code-11-Branch/ [2] http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/trunk/ [3] Example: cd $branch; svn diff > $file; cd $trunk; patch < $file; or use `svn merge` see `svn help merge` -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ano, ano. Moudry rozkaz. Sam jsem nemel v tech gratulacich jasno.

[yast-devel] Branching of Code 11: openSUSE 11.1, SLES 11, SLED 11
by Martin Vidner 15 Dec '08

15 Dec '08

Hi hackers, BEGIN RULES - trunk will be for 11.2, and I create http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/branches/SuSE-Code-11-Branch/ (in 1 hour, at 14:00 CET, so that this does not catch you completely surprised) - Code-11 will be a "side-trunk", the place of (cautious) development for SLE11 and its service packs. That is, in sequence, the following branches will be created from Code-11, to maintain updates that are diverging or backported from Code-11: SuSE-Linux-11_1-Branch SuSE-SLE-11-Branch SuSE-SLE-11-SP1-Branch SuSE-SLE-11-SP2-Branch Code-11 versions will have 3 components, 2.17.*, and all the other branches will bear 2.17.*.* It differs from the Code 10 concept in simplifying the decision where to commit: * Committing to a branch means a maintenance update. * Committing to Code-11 (side-trunk) means development/fixes scheduled for later. END RULES Compare to Code 10 ( http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=YaST/Development/SVN_branches&oldid=… ) where *-SPx-Branch is once a place of development and then becomes maintenance. Duncan objected that this scheme creates too many branches and that we are too flexible in favor of Novell product needs, whereas we should send YaST on a more independent way: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2008/11/07/yast-releases-independent-of-opensus… I think he is right but we should do it for 11.2 and beyond, not for SLE 11. -- Martin Vidner, YaST developer http://en.opensuse.org/User:Mvidner Kuracke oddeleni v restauraci je jako fekalni oddeleni v bazenu -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

Still no agreement.

[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] YaST module for openais/pacemaker available
by Xinwei Hu 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Hi all, A new YaST module for openais/pacemaker is just checked into the SVN server. Thanks Michal btw. ;) Currently, this YaST module parses /etc/ais/openais.conf, presents a step-by-step wizard for first run administrator, and helps to setup basic configuration for node to join into a openais/packmaker based cluster. I hope it's helpful to everyone who want to try the new cluster solution in openSUSE 11.1. Feedbacks are welcome ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org
