Please, use check_ycp to find strings that are not marked ("_(...)) for
translation and mark them accordingly. This is causing quite some bug
entries...
I'd also appreciate if you'd create a list of false positives.
Otherwise you will see the same reports with every release...

Hi everybody,
as might have noticed I am going through the modules and try to apply
the YaST style guide to them.
First of all I want to thank all of you who are willing to apply the
proposals. Especially as it is Beta/RC time for openSUSE 11.1 and SLE 11
, so many of you are busy with things that have more priority than
button labeling :-)
The next issue I want to raise is the really abort library
(http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/SL11.1/modules/Popup.html#ReallyAbort)
which according to my information is used when the user made changes in
a module and closes the module.
Currently there are the following usability issues with this library:
* inconsistent use
* inconsistent text
* yes/no as button labels might confuse the user and should be avoided
So, my proposal would be
* use ReallyAbort only when the user made some changes in the module and
clicks on cancel
* redesign the pop up into:
http://en.opensuse.org/Image:Ysg_discarding_changes_notbold.png
What do you think of the proposal?
Is it understandable?
For the redesign in general:
should I make a bug entry or a FATE entry or can be adjusted without any
of those two mechanisms?
Thanks and have a nice weekend,
Martin

Hi all,
keep in mind that URL may contain a user name and a password.
When an URL with password is logged to y2log the password should be hidden
for security reasons (see bnc#441944).
There are new functions URL::HidePassword() and URL::HidePasswordToken() for
hiding the password in an URL (added in yast2-2.17.47). The first one takes an
URL string as the input, the second one takes a map (as returned by URL::Parse()
function).
Both functions replace the password by string 'PASSWORD' so we can detect in
y2log that an URL with password was used.
So instead of
y2milestone("Adding repository %1", url);
use
y2milestone("Adding repository %1", URL::HidePassword(url));
Fortunately libzypp hides the password by default so there should not be many
places which logs a full URL.
And of course, this won't help if Y2DEBUG is enabled. We would need a new
datatype or a flag in the interpreter to fix it with Y2DEBUG enabled.

Hi all,
I have added an article about testing the package UI, esp. the
dependency popup to http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Development/Misc.
'deptestomatic.multi' from package libzypp-testsuite-tools is used to
read a solver test case and to create the package UI which shows the
popup with unresolved dependencies.
There are also some test cases available now in
libzypp-testsuite-tools-data.
Greetings
Gabi

present: mantel, schubi, dmacvicar, aschnell, sh, gs, shaas, snwint,
tgoettlicher, ma, jdsn
minutes: dmacvicar
- biggest topic: how do we branch, when do we branch
suggestion: branch a Code11 only, and branch again
openSUSE/SLE only if required.
linuxrc also follows this strategy
- gs: fixing locking bug with rug -> locks are not matching certain packages.
- libzypp: some issues with tribool usage in preferences/settings.
- bnc#439802 WIP architecture change, rename and script requires bash,
everything at the same time breaks installation order.
- long discussion about non installed (satisfied) patterns/patches, and how they
confuse users.
- at least 4 bugs open about the topic
- need to do something about it, either adapt the concept or the user
interface
- AI: remove fixed boost rps from prefered-rpms in cruisecontrol server.
No longer needed (fixed boost is in factory)
- dmacvicar has a patch for Qt 4.x tooltips, will send for review (not
for 11.1)
- PackageKit 0.3.11 was released, sreeves took that one.

Hi guys,
I just had to bin Christian Jager's umlaut because y2makepot doesn't
pass --from-code=UTF-8 to xgettext - he appears in a translated string
you see, and without this xgettext demands ascii.
Any chance of a fix for the next version ?
Thanks,
Michael.

They were broken with the Qt 4.x port. See patch attached. I am not sure
if the column number is calculated right.
Please review it ;-) I am not sure if it is the right way to do custom
tooltips in Qt 4.x

Hello,
I just tried to install Opensuse 10.1 -- for building 10.1 packages -- and
while I try to select software it turns out that the Catalog cannot by found.
Is there any chance to set the catalog home as yast command line option or
environment variable?
Best Regards,
Oliver Block

Hi all,
I just have submitted a new yast2-core package. The change is a new binary
called 'tty_wrapper' (installed by default as /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/tty_wrapper).
The wrapper is intended for scripts and other tools using yast in command line mode.
Currently running a yast module in command line mode requires access to a tty
device. When there is no tty device the yast module doesn't print anything to
the output. (See bnc#444228)
Changing the yast interpreter would be a big architectural change so I have
created a small wrapper which opens a new terminal device inside and starts a
new subprocess there. The wrapper uses stdin and stdout/stderr for
reading/writing. So in fact it converts tty IO to stdio IO.
The wrapper is generic and can be used with any command, i.e. it's not limited
to yast.
Usage:
/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/tty_wrapper <command> [<option1> [<option2> [...]]]
Example:
/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/tty_wrapper /sbin/yast2 sysconfig help > stdout 2> stderr <
/dev/null
Without the wrapper there would be just empty files.
