Seeking advice: Good first Issue with focus on the Java Codebase?
by Dominik Wombacher 27 Sep '21

27 Sep '21

Hey, I'm struggling finding a "good first issue" mainly related to the java codebase. Even though my "main" language is Python, I want to improve my Java Skills and thought the best way is hands on experience by contributing something to Uyuni. Was looking through all GH Issues, so far the following seem promising from a "good-first-issue" point of view BUT as you can see, they are all more related to Python or Web UI: spacecmd: - Feature Request: Implement spacecmd commands for managing Content Lifecycle Projects and Environments #1264 [1] - Add possibility to automate initial organization/user creation #296 [2] - Feature Request: Implement API calls and spacecmd commands for Organization Credentials #1257 [3] Web UI: - spacewalk-remove-channel: let it be triggered from the webUI as well #1427 [4] - Missing translation wrappers #3383 [6] reposync: - reposync: error is not clear when a repository mirror is not reachable #2514 [5] So I'm looking for some advice where to start, maybe i just missed a potential candidate? Or should I tackle a Python related one until something new comes up?

Some packages for the Server not bing updated during the update to Uyuni 2021.09
by Julio Gonzalez 24 Sep '21

Hello, Some users reported that some packages are not being updated on the Server during the update to Uyuni 2021.09. The cause and the workaround is now documented at: https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/issues/4244 The problem is in fact that openSUSE is shipping some SUSE Manager packages, so we filled https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1190851 This announce is now posted at the website, and Twitter, and it will be part of the Release Notes for Uyuni 2021.10 if the problem is still not solved. Sorry about the inconvenience. -- Julio González Gil Release Engineer, SUSE Manager and Uyuni jgonzalez(a)suse.com

spacewalk-backend-sql-postgresql requires python3-psycopg2 >= 2.8.4
by Stefan Bluhm 22 Sep '21

22 Sep '21

Hello, spacewalk-backend-sql-postgresql requires python3-psycopg2 >= 2.8.4. I assume there is a reason for the minimum version requirement? Ideally, I would like spacewalk-backend-sql-postgresql to be able to use 2.7.5. Do you have a direction on the possible implications of reducing the version requirements? Thank you and best wishes, Stefan
