Hi all, I have added a new config file for the WebYaST control panel. It's stored in /etc/webyast/control_panel.yml file. This change allowed me to fix bugs: Bug 558027 - Regularly update patch status Bug 558028 - Health status needs to be updated regularly Bug 580025 - It should be possible to disable "update status" and "system status" in the control center So the overall statuses are automatically refreshed now or they can be completely turned off (that can be useful during development or testing, you don't need to wait for checking updates and system status). Here I'd like to discuss some issues I found: The config is stored in /etc/webyast/control_panel.yml and there are some other files in that directory, but I found that there is /etc/webyast/vendor/logs.yml config file. So my question is what is /etc/webyast/vendor directory for? Is there any difference between /etc/webyast/vendor*.yml and /etc/webyast/*.yml files? Which one should I use in this case? Another problem I see is in the defaults: 1) The requested default for patch status refresh is 24 hours. I agree that this refresh timeout should be rather longer, but this is too long - the problem is that 24 hours refresh time out collides with session time out. After 24 hours the session will be invalid and no status will be displayed and thus the feature with this particular refresh value is useless. So I'd like to change it to something like 6 or 8 hours. 2) A similar problem is with the system status time out (but the other way round in this case). The requested default value is 1 minute which I find too low. Evaluating system status is a quite expensive operation and takes a long time. Doing that every minute creates extra load on the target machine. More over if users really need such an immediate warning I guess they will very likely use other means (like email, SMS message, custom scripts, etc.) without WebYaST involved. So here I propose to use default time out value of 5 or 10 minutes. What do you think about it? -- Best Regards Ladislav Slezák Yast Developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: lslezak@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@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
