[yast-devel] High-Contrast Installer
by Bryen M Yunashko 22 Jun '12

22 Jun '12

With my vision continuing to get worse, I notice with each new installation, I have more difficulty reading the installation screens. This is an accessibility issue. It would be nice if we could provide high-contrast option as well as font size change in the Video Mode list. Is there anything we can do to work on this in the near future? I'd like to be able to continue to use openSUSE for the long term. :-) Text mode is available but again, limited ability to see well without good high contrast.

[yast-devel] Be aware of mixture code compiled with c++1x and c++98
by Josef Reidinger 21 Jun '12

21 Jun '12

Hi YaST hackers, maybe some of you already see lot of failures in factory YaST. One of goodly hidden problem is mixture of code compiled with c++1x and c++98. This is exactly what cause segfault in gtk sw_single. for explanation see comment from michael matz - https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=767666#c11 Core is compiled with c++1x ( due to libzypp I expect ). So other parts that use core should be also compiled with this flag.

[yast-devel] patch for yast2-devtools
by Arvin Schnell 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

Hi, please review atteched patch for yast2-devtools. The reason for the patch is as following: A few days ago I changed yast2-core and increased the version numbers of liby2util and libycpvalues. But the plugin in yast2-xml does not link against those libraries so the buildservice does not rebuild yast2-xml thus the users following factory update yast2-core but not yast2-xml and the system gets broken (reported by customer). So the plugins have to be linked against those libraries which the patch does.

[yast-devel] Fixing yast git repos ; dont push until 10:00 UTC
by Bernhard M. Wiedemann 13 Jun '12

13 Jun '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Hackers, Some weeks ago the YaST repos migrated from svn to git and are now on github.com. As you might have heard, some(*) YaST repos have a broken history. This was caused by a bug in svndumpfilter3 that we used in the conversion process. We (Martin Vidner, Daniel Schmidt and Bernhard Wiedemann) now found a way to fix the repos without the need for everyone to reclone his checkouts. Please dont push anything to github.com/yast/* while we push the fixed repos - should be finished by 10:00 UTC. * Preconditions 1. If you don't have forks or checkouts of those yast repos, all is fine already and you don't have to do anything. 2. If you have clones without any local changes, you can just delete the clones and re-create them from github. (*) To check if your repository's history was affected by the bug, look for it in http://www.zq1.de/~bernhard/yast-broken-list.txt * What is Expected You likely heard that you should not change the public history of a git repo. We had to do exactly this because the history was just wrong. So if you have a fork or local checkout with own commits that are not yet pushed to github.com/yast/ then you have to do =========================== git pull --rebase =========================== once per affected repo and branch. Your branch(es) should now point to the fixed history while the old history is preserved in the "remotes/origin/broken/$BRANCH". They should only be needed for recovery. * What is Unexpected If you did for some reason git pull it creates a bad merge commit or conflict # if you have a merge conflict you have to git reset --hard HEAD # reverts it # if you get a merge commit you have to git branch yourstuff ; git reset --hard origin/$BRANCH git cherry-pick $commit # what you want to keep from yourstuff branch * The Unexpected Unexpected If you encounter any other problems, please contact us. About libyui: We will have a look at the situation after fixing the yast repos. Stay tuned. regards Daniel, Martin and Bernhard - -- (o_ //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk/YVDgACgkQSTYLOx37oWRyrwCfQa+4yZY8w9J4ilPCuZGhJqeh 70kAn1K3z3Q+n5uGcAdEzLNUv/w0koRq =8upa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] blocxx removed from yast2-core
by Arvin Schnell 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Hi, as requested in fate #313242 I have removed blocxx usage from yast2-core. It was used for logging. If you have e.g. libraries or plugins used by YaST which used this logging mechanism use something else, e.g. like libzypp, libstorage and libsnapper do. ciao Arvin PS: You can likely remove the buildrequires for blocxx from your YaST packages. -- Arvin Schnell, <aschnell(a)suse.de> Senior Software Engineer, Research & Development SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] relationship between libyui and yast2-{gtk,ncurses,qt}-pkg
by Björn Esser 08 Jun '12

08 Jun '12

Hello! I'm currently working on a CMake-based buildsystem for the liberated libyui and it's plugins. And I have a few questions about the relationship between libyui and yast2-{gtk,ncurses,qt}-pkg. So the pkg-things are build-depending on the corresponding libyui-plugin, afaik. libyui-{gtk,ncurses,qt} are loaded from libyui directly when init of the ui. Thomas Goettlicher and I agreed to have plugins, that belong to a certain program (e.g. YaST2), but are loaded through libyui, put inside a subfolder of /usr/lib/yui (e.g. /usr/lib/yui/YaST2 for YaST). The plugins which are loaded from yast-core should stay where they are (/usr/lib/YaST2/subfolder). But from where and how are those yast2-{gtk,ncurses,qt}-pkg loaded? yast-core or libyui? If they are loaded by libyui they should be covered from it's new buildsystem, too. Otherways they can be build by the yast-devtools. I had some mail-dialogue regarding this with Josef already, but he isn't sure about this special case. I hope someone is able to answer my question. A lot of thanks in advance.

[yast-devel] YaST svn migrated to git
by J. Daniel Schmidt 01 Jun '12

01 Jun '12

Hi YaST hackers, the YaST svn migrated to git - finally! After about 24 hours the conversion was completed. All 147 YasT modules are now uploaded to github.com. If you do not yet have a login on github.com, go and create one. The YaST modules are grouped in the yast organization: https://github.com/yast As the libYUI was extracted from the YaST code base we put them into its own organization to underline its independence: https://github.com/libyui We also got our first forks while I was still uploading the repos. This shows the collaborative strength of git hosted projects. To make your initial clones a little easier there is a small tool called 'y2m' in this repo. https://github.com/yast/yast-meta If just follow the installation instructions in the README this tool helps you to clone or checkout all (or just some) YaST modules. Please feel free to adapt and improve this tool (grep for TODO) or write a better one. I just wanted to give those guys who are used to svn a small tool to help them getting started. Just one module did not make it in the conversion: yast-qt-pkg I will reenable write access to it in svn. Thus it will be migrated later. Please note the 'Conventions' for naming branches and tags for released products: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:YaST_SVN_to_GIT For any questions related this to this switch contact us on our mailing lists: http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:YaST or chat with us in the #yast channel on irc.freenode.org Ciao, Daniel -- J.
