[opensuse-project] [GSoC2014] TSP application weekly update
by karthik senthil 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Hello everyone, This is a brief summary of my work last week. I worked completely on running a clean build with respect to the tests and also added documentation for all the code added by me to the current repo. The app now passes all the tests and the HTML documentation(created by yardoc) is also complete. Thus the TSP application is in a stable state with the additional feature of creating/designing the state machines and then create objects of the same( like requests,reimbursements and shipments). The feature includes a seperate UI for a special user role called Admin and the generic code to dynamically create the state_machine object is available at the concern HasState. The complete code can be viewed at : https://github.com/karthiksenthil/travel-support-program/tree/gsoc2014 Thank You Karthik.S 3rd Year,Information Technology NITK,Surathkal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] [GSoC] Status on Git-Review
by Xystushi 17 Aug '14

17 Aug '14

Hi All, As it’s about the end of this year’s GSoC, I would like to give you an update on what has been done for git-review (many thanks to the creator and my mentor Dominik Bamberger) over the summer. In the first half of the summer, I created a ruby gem called bucketkit[1], which is a client for Bitbucket’s API. It is very similar to Octokit (for github), for those of you who are familiar with it. However, due to the lack of time and sufficient documentation from Bitbucket, I decided to only implement the features needed by git-review first. Hopefully this project will continue, and one day becomes a full-fledged Bitbucket API client. I welcome anyone who is interested to checkout the code and hack and improve this library together. For the second half of the summer, my main task was to integrate bucketkit into git-review by introducing the bitbucket module. Git-review was originally designed specifically for Github’s pull request workflow. Hence the biggest challenge was to identify the components in git-review that are actually provider independent and extract them into separate modules. Dominik and I worked together to refactor the code (and tests) and eventually conquered the challenge. So currently git-review not only supports two major git-hosting platforms, i.e. Github and Bitbucket, but also provides a framework such that adding support for new platforms is easy - just like writing a plugin - without the need to modify the entire codebase. Cheers, Xu — [1] https://github.com/xystushi/bucketkit -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] [GSoC] Weekly Report - Zorp LBaaS driver for OpenStack
by Péter Vörös 16 Aug '14

16 Aug '14

Hi everyone! This week passed with a lot of testing, fixing, and refactoring, finally I was able to correct all the problems I've faced with OpenStack. Finally the instances can be started in the different stack namespaces, and traffic is going through Zorp smooth. So, now the status is, that Zorp driver is fully integrated into OpenStack, it can also be selected from the dashboard. The whole load balancing works, with all of the load balancing algorithms, after the pools, members and vips are set up. So almost everything is done, I'm doing the job what is remaining. I'm writing the documentation and how-to. I'm creating a VirtualBox image, which with trying out Zorp as a LBaaS will be much easier, and faster.

[opensuse-project] [GSoC] [Cool Live Flash project] (totally not a flash player) Weekly report
by zsoltpeterbasak 15 Aug '14

15 Aug '14

Hey everyone! - This week I started writing rules, for the detection part. This is needed for the squashfs part. The system works (currently), like the tool "file" does. It goes through a set of rules. Confident rules, like openSUSE and SUSE studio images are on top. More generic ones have lower priority. A heuristic, generic approach is the latest rule. New rules can be added all the time of course. (They will be placed in a folder. Think of systemd modules, grub config files and such.) - Made a Github repo for the project: Started ticket tracking there. Will start committing the code ASAP. - This week I also made a live test, where everything went fine. Pendrive was done fast. Installed Syslinux, the mbr on the pendrive. Then I copied up the Dracut archive, and the kernel which Dracut used. (they must match) And I booted it up. And it worked. - Went back to simple "oneshot" type of script, since the 'systemd-notify' tool requires systemd libs to be included. While it definitely looks more robust that way... adding more bloat Well, everything looks fine so far. I want to write an install script today. Then write some extra rules, add more images. Overall, a good week, the project is in a good shape (IMO).

[opensuse-project] Proposal: first bootup tips
by G G 15 Aug '14

15 Aug '14

Hi All, at the first boot of a newly installed openSUSE some users could feel a little bit confused. That because they are going to use a new operating system (different from Windows or Mac OS), so they have to do stuff like network setup, graphics driver installation, audio/video codecs installation and so on. We could improve the openSUSE Greeter with first boot tips to help new users with the initial configuration of the system. Following there are some ideas from other projects that i (as user) find interesting: -> Classical way, like the PC-BSD guys have done [0] (screenshot 2, 3 and 4); -> Something more stylish like Mozilla did to present the new UI of Firefox [1]; -> Rework the current Greeter to contain less text (that is very scary to the user) to obtain something like Manjaro Linux [2] (screenshots 3, and 4). What do you think about? Best Regards hawake [0] http://www.linuxscreenshots.org/?release=PC-BSD%2020130806&l= [1] https://www.mozilla.org/it/firefox/31.0/tour/ [2] http://www.linuxscreenshots.org/?release=Manjaro%200.8.10%20Xfce -- Linux user number 433087 Linux registered machine number 351448 http://linuxcounter.net/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
