I commented in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=847479 (same bug) a half hour ago,but still no sign of bugmail. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-web] SideBar

Hi, probably after MediaWiki update there are redundant boxes (Search, Toolbox, Languages) in Wiki sidebar. Try to save http://en.opensuse.org/MediaWiki:Sidebar again to restore openSUSE SideBar. -- Jan Papež (honyczek) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner(a)opensuse.org

As pointed, then you will have to wait until the coordinators of the service provide a solution, which I think they already did[1]. We cannot provide any other solution for this Release.

Priviledge? Anybody can install an openQA V2 instance. We will provide help to those interested in doing so. Another option is to wait until upstream include some/all of the changes we made.

We do not touch openqa.opensuse.org so I have no info about why your workflow has changed. Maybe Bernhard is more qualified to provide you with a proper answer about this. Please ping him.

It is run under Bernhard's coordination with a remarkable effort, by the way. We have developed some improvements in openQA in close communication with upstream (Bernhard). He is the one that will decides which improvements should be implemented and which don't in the openQA service. We developed the openQA V2 in the open and improved the installation to make it easier than it was. There is room for improvements though. Meanwhile, the openSUSE Team have a V2 instance internally to test the distro and the improvements done. > > Given I cant see how the new openQA works, forgive me if this is a > stupid suggestion, but surely a public view of the results from openQA > wouldn't need any editing, rescheduling or user management.. can we > have that added/restored to openQA and have the openSUSE openQA > instance restored as a community service as soon as possible? If we talk about the development, we have worked in the open, as expected. If you talk about the service, we do not intend to provide an alternative service of openQA for openSUSE. That makes no sense from our point of view and it would be unfair with upstream. So answering your request, we have nothing to restore. We are waiting for upstream to migrate the open service to the following version so we all can use it in the open. Obviously we will help in this task when required. openqa.opensuse.org is a great service and, as some of you mentioned, has an increasing impact in our development process. I invite you to collaborate with Bernhard on it. We will also help when we can. These days we are focused in other tasks and we cannot, but we expect to have a time window to put effort on it during the first half of next year.
