Priority Requester: Desirable Projectmanager: Desirable openSUSE-10.3: Rejected by Stanislav Visnovsky (visnov) reject date: 2007-08-01 10:24:26 reject reason: Postponing, needs more research. Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important openSUSE-11.0: Rejected by Federico Lucifredi (flucifredi) reject date: 2008-06-28 19:27:16 reject reason: fixing my typo. Mandatories in the past don't work (yet). Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important openSUSE-11.1: Done Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important SL-10.0: Rejected by Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) reject date: 2005-12-02 14:56:13 reject reason: not done. Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Description: Create a verbose logging mode in yast, where any action yast performs is logged. Any file yast touches should be logged (to /var/log/YaST2/y2log AND clean up the structure of that log file, to make it easier to read and interpret) and all changes on the systems configuration. The goal is to make it really transparent what yast does. Documentation Impact: Admin guide needs to contain information about the new log file. Please add it to the Log file section in the troubleshooting chapter Discussion: #1: Edith Parzefall (emapedl) (2006-09-28 17:17:54) Can't be done for 10.2. Back to TPMs. #2: Edith Parzefall (emapedl) (2007-07-31 16:17:45) Sorry, couldn't be done for 10.3. We need a concept for this. Even within the team different developers have different needs. Improving the logging to give all developers the best possible debugging information will be difficult, but it's definitely something we should attempt in the near future. #3: Stanislav Visnovsky (visnov) (2007-11-08 10:48:48) Can we get some traction here finally? #4: Stanislav Visnovsky (visnov) (2007-11-28 10:16:38) Reopening, the YaST transparency is often cited as a problem for users. #6: Federico Lucifredi (flucifredi) (2008-06-28 17:13:54) I think this has enough user benefit and is trivial enough, we should just get it done. #12: Stanislav Visnovsky (visnov) (2008-09-10 11:03:50) I've added y2useritem and y2usernote builtins into yast2-core. This might be helpful for this feature. + #14: Martin Vidner (mvidner) (2009-02-04 16:17:39) + I have added the two functions to yast2-perl-bindings-2.18.0 (for oS + 11.2). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/100386
