[yast-devel] libzypp-4.6.1: Allow prioritizing repos.
by Michael Andres 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

JFYI: libzypp-4.6.1 now supports repo priorities. /etc/zypp/repos.d ----------------- Allow prioritizing repos (yum-priorities) by adding a line priority=N to the .repo file. Where N is an integer number from 1 (highest prio) to 99 (least and default). libzypp-4.6.1 ------------- The priority is stored in class zypp::RepoInfo: namespace zypp { class RepoInfo { /** * Repository priority for solver. * Some number between 1 (highest priority) and 99 (defaultPriority). */ unsigned priority() const; /** * Set repository priority for solver. * A newval_r of 0 sets the default priority. */ RepoInfo & setPriority( unsigned newval_r ); That's how you would e.g. change the priority of a repository in the pool: Repository myfave( sat::Pool::instance().reposFind( "myfave" ) ); if ( myfave ) { myfave.setInfo( myfave.info().setPriority( 2 ) ); } -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres YaST Development ma(a)novell.com SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany, ++49 (0)911 - 740 53-0 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] Nuernberg YaST team - meeting 2008-03-25
by Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

Nuernberg YaST team - meeting 2008-03-25 * discussion about chosing some possible features to implement according to spare cycles: - Special YaST IP4 address widget: problem to find widget supporting ipv6 support, needs more research - YaST: show the dependency reasons in "Show automatic changes" window: this is hard, we have to find out what the solver provides now - Remove left help window in ncurses UI: doable, WIzard.ycp see bnc #360350 - Package keywords filter: also need some support from solv querying - Whole software management stack should warn about missing/oudated update source: this is required as we don't have in workflow registration. - "Installation Sources" Filter Option "<In No Installation Source>": should be easy, but not important. - System upgrade: keep packages with no replacement: schubi is taking care of it - Implement AutoYaST-related functions (Read/Write/Import/Export) for Display/XGL settings: jdsn looking at it. - Respect taboo settings: see next discussion * locks Because YaST does not save them back, there was a long discussion about how to save them. Main ideas: Provide a ZYpp api to save them (you can load /etc/locks now). Main problem: apps need to save locks by package name/edition. If a user has a regexp on /etc/locks, and yast loads that (which locks several packages on the pool) then locks will be saved expanded when saved back tot he file. possible solution: have different levels for locks so we can make a difference when saving them, right now we have application locks and user locks, and may be we can use that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, I'm afraid this file is completely unmaintained and I'm too lazy^wbusy to file bug reports against every single package - and what bothers me most: I guess tons of dependencies are missing in that file.

[yast-devel] Perl YUI TextEntry
by Justin Haygood 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

I'm trying to get the value of a YUI TextEntry (all in Perl). I created the TextEntry via: my $TextInput = TextEntry("Some Text",""); This let me add it to the VBOX: my $c = VBox( $TextInput, PushButton("&OK") ); UI->OpenDialog($c); UI->UserInput(); UI->CloseDialog(); However, you can't get the value from either: $value = $TextInput->Value; // Most Logical $value = UI->QueryWidget( $TextInput, "Value" ); // Second Most Logical What do I have to do in order to do this? Is this just incomplete Perl bindings? --Justin Haygood -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] how to determine GUI versus ncurses mode via YCP
by Johannes Meixner 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

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? If it runs in text-only mode, how can I determine its current screen size (i.e. how many lines and characters per line)?

[yast-devel] Czech YaST2 team (Prague) meeting 2008-03-18
by Katarina Machalkova 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

Present: jkupec, jreidinger, jsrain, juhliarik, kmachalkova, locilka, lslezak, mzugec Absent: jsuchome (ill), mvidner (brainshare) TOC: 1. General issues 2. Libzypp & pkg management 3. Bootloader features 4. 2nd stage of installation 5. Miscellaneous bugfixes General issues --------------------- * Meeting minutes (save Novell/SUSE internal issues) should, besides results@, go to public yast-devel@ as well * openSUSE project will participate in Google Summer of Code. If you have any idea for GSoC project or if you're willing to be a mentor of some, please add it (and yourself) to ideas page: http://en.opensuse.org/Summer_of_Code_2008 Libzypp & pkg management --------------------------------------- * Media backend: ejecting CD/DVD from specific drive: UI support in y2-packager is now ready, zypper is WIP (FaTE #120298) * 'zypper source-install' and 'zypper build-deps-install' are now united into single command. User can opt for installing either the source RPM or build dependency RPMs via commandline options * jkupec intends to work on experimental libzypp CIM provider in his ITO, implementing at least basic functions such as show installed pkgs, or install pkg * Miscellaneous zypp bugfixing (jreidinger is a quick learner :) ) - more verbose output when modifying repository - better exception throwing if external program called from libzypp fails - improved repository type (susetags vs. yum) probing * ncurses package selector refactoring is almost finished * Repository manager can now be run directly from package manager (it is a new menu option) - implemented in Qt and Gtk UI frontend, ncurses will follow soon. See also: http://lists.opensuse.org/yast-devel/2008-03/msg00048.html Bootloader features --------------------------- * Update of boot section when installing/updating kernel: yast writes only "dummy" boot sections, kernel post-install script is available to populate these dummy sections during installation (FaTE #302660) 2nd stage of installation --------------------------------- * The purpose is to get rid of 2nd stage of installation (after reboot) entirely, or make it as non-interactive as possible - moving interactive steps to the 1st stage and configure the rest automatically using proposed defaults * Kicking it out entirely is not possible, as it is needed by autoyast * Some automatic configuration can be done by running y2base in chroot env. at the end of 1st stage, but there are still some issues (network, or CUPS restart hangs,...) * See also: http://kobliha-suse.blogspot.com/2008/03/getting-rid-of-2nd-stage-installat… and discussion: http://lists.opensuse.org/yast-devel/2008-03/msg00021.html Miscellaneous bugfixing --------------------------------- * Fixed yast2-restore's part of autoyast * Installation of add-ons and related registration of new products in SLED ThinClient * product-creator - improved determining of bootable/base product (bnc#368580) * L3 escalation: udev rules file is not generated in 1st stage of instalaltion in SLE10 products -> network devices switch their order after reboot * enable adding unconfigured network ifaces to the bridge -- \\\\\ Katarina Machalkova \\\\\\\__o YaST developer __\\\\\\\'/_ & hedgehog painter

[yast-devel] Package-Bindings
by Benji Weber 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Greetings all, I require the following functions in yast2 package bindings to fix bugs. - Update package if and only if newer version available - Install package from a specific repository I don't believe either exists as I can't see anything appropriate from browsing the source. If either does exist please enlighten me, or I will file enhancement requests.

[yast-devel] Purpose of Progress::OpenSuperior
by Jiri Srain 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Hi! What's the purpose of the Progress::OpenSuperior, Progress::CloseSuperior and Progress::StepSuperior functions? I have not found them used anywhere in the code (even the only links Google found were to the YaST documentation), and their usability is now limited, since we do not have the help on the left... Any objections to removing them?
