[yast-devel] Starting repo management from the pkg manager
by Ladislav Slezak 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

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 each UI frontend. I created a small patch which can start the repository manager module directly from the package manager, almost all the changes are on the YCP level. Pros: + simple implementation, the patch has just few lines Cons: - the repository manager is not visually integrated to the package manager See the attached patch, install patched "packager" and "qt-pkg" yast modules. The patch adds a new menu entry in the package manager widget, click "Extra" -> "Repository manager..." or press Ctrl + M shortcut. (This feature can be made more visible if needed, e.g. add a button into the "Repository" filter or something like that...) What do you think about this solution? Is it a good thing for 11.0? -- Best Regards Ladislav Slezák Yast Developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: lslezak(a)suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 960 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/

[yast-devel] Please avoid ByteToHumanString
by Arvin Schnell 20 Mar '08

20 Mar '08

Hi, please avoid the use of the function ByteToHumanString from Partition.ycp and partition_defines.ycp. Use instead the function FormatSizeWithPrecision from String.ycp so I can clean up the code in storage. These files are affected: ./cim/testsuite/devel/cim-browser.ycp ./repair/src/OSRPtbl.ycp Thanks 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)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] running valgrind

Hi, This passed by when I was looking for something else using valgrind.

Solver add prerequisites for this packages. Some prerequisite cannot be download and if use this new action (instead of retry or abort or simply ignore) program try make for user new prerequisites combination without previously failed package. For programmers that uses libzypp it mean, that they must (if support this action in callback) catch from commit call exception, disable this package instalation for solver, rerun solver and try again commit (of course with any user responses if really want new plan or if not possible install without this package then some as do standard).

[yast-devel] All .desktop files modified
by Jiri Srain 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Hi! Because of bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=304964 I have modified desktop files for all modules which are residing in the YaST subversion repository. I committed the changes (just added one line) to SVN trunk, but not to autobuild. Please, submit your packages to autobuild for openSUSE 11.0 Beta1. If you maintain any YaST module not residing in the YaST subversion repository, change your .desltop files manually by adding line StartupNotify=true Thanks in advance! Jiri PS: Even though it is unlike, I'm sorry if I broke any desktop file, I was not able to (visually) check them all. -- Regards, Jiri Srain YaST Team Leader --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: jsrain(a)suse.cz Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 959 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz

Hello, is it possible to Update the YaST2-pkg-bindings in repository to => 2.16.17 (x86-64) ? Then i can Install and test YaST2-online-update ;).

In the moment opensuse tell me new packages are there, when i start the updater a window pops up, with ("--terse is not implemented, does nothing") and stop ? -- mit freundlichen Grüßen / best Regards Günther J.
