[opensuse-project] Strategy ready to be voted upon!
by Thomas Thym 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Hi all! I don't have to introduce the strategy to you, nor say it's quite a bit overdue. But the time is there: we're ready to start voting! Steps: 1. Read the Strategy proposal you all participated in writing, or could have, if you didn't: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Strategy 2. Think about it. It probably won't fit you perfectly. It can't be, as it describes a couple of hundred people with different ideas, goals and ambitions. But that's life. The question is - is it close enough for you to support? Does it go counter things you really believe in? Does it describe who we are, in all our diversity? 3. Then go to the link below and cast your vote. http://bit.ly/kZaAC2 50%+ yes is enough for the vote to pass. Thanks!

I know this is off topic, but if you are looking for something a bit inspiring. Take a look at reddit[1]. Good luck on openSUSE 12.1!

[opensuse-project] [gsoc] Archlinux backend for Open Build Service, week 2
by Nikolay Rysev 06 Jun '11

06 Jun '11

Hello, all! First, a big sorry for delay and modest results, I was ill whole last week. This weekly update contains query && queryhdrmd5 [1] and some small related updates [2]. query() function extracts information from built packages. For Archlinux, it parses .PKGINFO file. queryhdrmd5() is a special version of query(), it gets only the hdrmd5 (package uid). [1] https://gitorious.org/~madgnu/opensuse/madgnu-build/commit/daf63d94307cee39… [2] https://gitorious.org/~madgnu/opensuse/madgnu-build/commit/cbf21d539c66750d… Next steps are: - verscmp(), function, which compares two package versions - createarchdeps helper script - setting up the build environment (some parts already done) Comments and suggestions are welcome, as usual. -- wbr, Nikolay Rysev -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] [gsoc] osc code cleanup - summary of week 2
by Marcus Hüwe 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi, here's a small summary of the 2nd (coding) week. This week I spent most of my time with working on an OO-style class for doing http requests: * it's possible to switch the http(s) implementation without touching any library code * supports response validation (if a schema was specified for the request) Currently I'm still working on the "remote models": * decided to use lxml.objectify [1]: - goal is to encapsulate the xml logic solely into the object itself - example workflow: prj = RemoteProject('some_name') prj.title = 'dummy' prj.description = 'foo bar' repo = prj.add_repository(name='openSUSE_Factory') repo.add_path(project='openSUSE:Factory', repository='standard') repo.add_arch('i586') # change arch to x86_64 repo.arch[0] = 'x86_64' repo.save() Minor stuff: * decided to use the "logging" module: this way we can easily add "debug" and "info" etc. messages and it's up to the "client" which messages it wants to display (I'm not talking about the messages which are displayed when "osc up" is called or something like that) Marcus [1] http://lxml.de/objectify.html -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Entomologist UI Enhancements Weekly Report #2
by David Williams 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi all, You can find my weekly report at [0] and I'll include it below. Today has been a reasonable week and hopefully I can pick up the pace more as I get used to the Entomologist code base more and more :). -----Report Text Below Here ------ This week I’ve been focusing on implementing the tabbed interface for Entomologist so that trackers are separated out into individual tabs. There are a few things still left to complete (primarily deletion of a tracker) but they do work!. I’d planned to also add the statistics element to the User Interface but I’ve not been able to move on to that and the work required to get statistics from a bug tracker will be more than I thought. This is why I’d added a second week to this specific part of my UI work as I knew that there is a potential for problems to arise. Once this work is completed I will then implement a “New Comment” interface that is a separate window from the main UI that allows a user to view past comments and upload new comments (The current expanded panel will remain as a “quick view” mode for past comments). The current timeline for the project can be found here. This work will conclude hopefully by the end of next week as I would really like to start working on the TODO list as soon as possible and as highlighted in the timeline, hopefully iCal support can be added so that Entomologist can manage TODO lists of bugs with a wide variety of different Calendars. The main things that have tripped me up this week is getting lost in MainWindow.cpp as it is quite a large file to focus on and sometimes things that should be obvious weren’t quite so obvious. I’ll update this post with screenshots of the changes once I’ve managed to finish the Look and Feel changes for the Tabs.

[opensuse-project] [GSoC 2011] Bug Reporting Tool - weekly report #2
by Mihnea Dobrescu-Balaur 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Good evening! The update this week brings us the system data gathering module along with some sub-modules for various information to be gathered for the system. The concept envisioned is something like this: there will be a 'gather.d/' folder, where programs can install their own relevant data gathering modules. At the moment, we have these: lsmod, uname, release, cpu-model, amount of RAM and video card model. These small modules parse the relevant data from the corresponding locations and all the data gets put together in a dictionary by gather.py. We opted for this version because we can use the dictionary to export the data as JSON, or ini-style, or whatever feels appropriate. Also, because of this, the data will be easily parseable for the maintainers who read our bug reports. As usual, you can find the code here: https://github.com/mihneadb/Suse-Bug-Reporter Will get back to you next week!
