[yast-devel] buttons buttons buttons
by Martin Schmidkunz 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

Hi, when testing openSUSE 11.1/SLES 11 I came across a rather curious situation: many modules have already switched their label from Abort/OK(Accept, Finish...) to the style guide compliant Cancel/OK label. However in every case there is a third, inactive "Back" button included. This doesn't make sense as there is nothing to go back and the dialog is just an overview. I suppose this is due to many of you using wizard.ycp as base template for creating your module. What do you think about using … [View More]

[yast-devel] yast style guide
by Martin Schmidkunz 11 Apr '08

11 Apr '08

Hi everybody, after some discussion and work I would like to present a first draft of a YaST style guide to you: http://en.opensuse.org/Image:Ysg.pdf The intention of the style guide is NOT to dictate every pixel in every module but to make some basic actions and behaviors consistent which increases usability. The work was mostly done by Lukas (locilka) and me. Nonetheless this is just a draft and I would like to see it as a base for further discussion. First of all because two people cannot … [View More]

[yast-devel] Product plans
by Benji Weber 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

Greetings All, Currently in factory Product::name, Product::distversion etc all return an empty string. Probably because there is no product installed. Is it planned to have products installed once zypp supports them again, or will Product.ycp obtain its data from somewhere else? Or is Product.ycp being dropped completely and I should use something else? At present I am using Product to determine which instructions from a YMP match the installed system. Should I compare against something … [View More]

[yast-devel] Tiny change to FormatSizeWithPrecision
by Arvin Schnell 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Hi, are there any objections to change FormatSizeWithPrecision to return "1 MB" instead of "1024 kB" and alike? Normally, when displaying e.g. package sizes, it shouldn't matter but in storage I want to display stribe sizes and such things where I have powers of two and the shorter "1 MB" looks better. ciao Arvin -- Arvin Schnell, <aschnell(a)suse.de> Software Engineer, Research & Development SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, … [View More]

[yast-devel] make spellcheck / y2tool pot-spellcheck
by Katarina Machalkova 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hi, yast hackers In the light of bug #374628 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=374628) just a quick reminder that there is a tool that might help you not only to fix the typos Benji has found, but also to locate some more misspelled words in your modules, or inconsistent spelling in the texts ( e.g. ipv6 vs. IPv6) Just run: 'make spellcheck' or 'y2tool pot-spellcheck' in the root directory of your module. It will list all misspelled words in the strings of your module and … [View More]

[yast-devel] SCR Agent run.swapon_s will be removed
by Arvin Schnell 29 Mar '08

29 Mar '08

Hi, looking over the SCR agents in yast2-storage I recognised that run.swapon_s is just a inferior implementation of .proc.swaps (although with different return value). Also run.swapon_s seems to be unused. So I will remove run.swapon_s soon unless I recieve objections. cu Arvin -- Arvin Schnell, <aschnell(a)suse.de> Software Engineer, Research & Development SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)… [View More]

[yast-devel] you can help SCR to be lazy
by Martin Vidner 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

Hi hackers, Short: Please take your modules and rename the contained .scr files after the paths they serve: .foo.bar.baz -> foo_bar_baz.scr Long: in Alpha 3, SCR can be lazy. That is, it will not read all the *.scr files to register all the agents at the first opportunity. Instead, it guesses which file an agent is defined in and reads only that file. Only when that fails it does the big sweep. The aim is to reduce startup time, and thanks to Michael Meeks for bringing that topic up. … [View More]

[yast-devel] how to determine GUI versus ncurses mode via YCP

Hello, how can I determine in a YaST module if it runs currently in GUI mode (Qt or Gtk) or in text-only (ncurses) mode?

Hi all! Many users complain why there are two separate modules for managing repositories and packages. They want to add/refresh/enable/disable/... repositories from the package manager widget. Currently you have to close the package manager module, start the repository manager, do the action you want and start the package manager again. It takes a long time and you have click too many times. Adding the repository management functions to all package manager widgets requires a lot of work in … [View More]
