Summary: YaST Coding style not followed by yast2-devtools nor tutorials Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: felix.wolfsteller@intevation.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: ---

New to YaST (module) development, my natural starting point was one of the "official" tutorials (e.g. http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Tutorials, but actually the comprehensive http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/SL11.1/tutorials/).

Wanting to confirm to (imho important) style and coding guides, I looked at the well done http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/SL10.1/codingrules/index.html and was surprised that the tutorial and the yast2-devtool pointed me a "wrong" (regarding coding style) direction.

I found the main problem with the devtools to be the skeletons (e.g. http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/trunk/devtools/devtools/skeletons/config/sr... ). A quick improvement of the Tutorials would be to mention that there is a style guide that should be read and applied, while apologizing that the tutorial in current state does not reflect that in every case.

In an discussion in irc it was mentioned that reworking the tutorial (and i guess the config skeleton) might be a great Junior Job (JJ), as it automatically brings you closer to YCP.

Thanks to jreidinger, kobliha and jsuchome from the #yast irc channel.

Reproducible: Always

Although the links in my post point to specific versions (e.g. openSUSE 11.2, SLE10.x) i found the tutorials of all versions to be affected.

I am sorry to be picky.
