https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=273614 Summary: do not use yast2-gtk Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 3plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Patterns AssignedTo: aj@novell.com ReportedBy: meissner@novell.com QAContact: aj@novell.com CC: mmeeks@novell.com, sh@novell.com yast2-gtk has no active maintainer and is not up to our quality. So it should not be installed by default. Please remove it from the GNOME-YaST pattern and replace it again by yast2-qt. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=273614 ------- Comment #1 from mmeeks@novell.com 2007-05-11 03:12 MST ------- urgh ? in fact it has 2 maintainers - both part time. Can you substantiate ? we've fixed several filed bugs; although as yet havn't pushed new packages [ not that aware of SL10.3 release schedules sadly ]. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=273614 ------- Comment #4 from mmeeks@novell.com 2007-05-11 04:38 MST ------- Well; "check we can include yast2-gtk" is a nicer summary than "do not use yast2-gtk"; better would be: "work out why Marcus wants to remove yast2-gtk - and do something about it" ;-) Wrt. "are you committed to fix all bugs, missing features & stability issues" - what kind of question is that ? :-) I can't swear the software is bug-free, what bugs in particular are you thinking of - please do file them. Here are all the bugs we've worked on (that I know of): Fixed: + n#247682 - search for umlauts - fixed 2007-03-15 + n#247683 - freeze in 'language' - fixed 2007-03-15 + n#247802 - save to File just freezes - fixed 2007-03-15 + n#265311 - crash on update.ycp start - fixed 2007-04-23 [ was also incidentally a core update.ycp bug ] + n#268146 - missing 'search' button - fixed 2007-05-07 In progress: + n#268167 - multi-select in pkg installer + n#271716 - crash during package install [ kdedu3 install ] yast2-gtk is under active development, pwrt. the package selector, as you can see in svn. It is true, I havn't been following the autobuild bits as well as possible, and we should push a new release with the recent fixes. Unfortunately chasing down the latest autobuild messages: JFYI: package yast2-gtk failed to build in distribution beta-x86_64. .. In file included from /usr/include/YaST2/yui/YUI.h:35, from ./YGUI.h:9, from dummy.cc:5: /usr/include/YaST2/yui/YWidget.h: In member function 'virtual char* YWidget::widgetClass()': /usr/include/YaST2/yui/YWidget.h:65: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*' .. /usr/lib64/libycp.so: undefined reference to `std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >::_M_insert(char const*, long)@GLIBCXX_3.4.9' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [dummy] Error 1 Seems to highlight normal underlying yast2 breakage - was that what you were thinking of ? Unusally we actually link a 'dummy' binary with the platform libs to see if all is well at build time to avoid unpredictable lazy linking related run-time errors - not sure other modules do that. What metric are you using to determine un-maintained-ness ? :-) Also - another unfortunate problem with verifying the 64bit situation currently is that (apparently) autobuild is broken thus (log attached) [snip ...] expanding package dependencies kuckuk:/suse/mmichael/yast2-gtk # nothing provides libparted-1.8.so.6()(64bit) needed by hal expansion failed. init_buildsystem failed. [snip] which is apparently normal, and one just 'waits' until it works again (?) ;-) Anyhow - punch-line, I'm having problems identifying your specific issue, but would love to help. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
