Grr, http://planetsuse.org is down again, and still missing some team members, so I decided to play with Yahoo Pipes and create a little Comet YaST for the team: Web: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=rAY4JAQO3RGtU17gyZ1_DQ RSS: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=rAY4JAQO3RGtU17gyZ1_DQ&_render=rss Enjoy, and if you know of a blog that I forgot to add, let me know. -- Martin Vidner, YaST developer http://en.opensuse.org/User:Mvidner Kuracke oddeleni v restauraci je jako fekalni oddeleni v bazenu -- 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 2008-04-17
by Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett 18 Apr '08

18 Apr '08

Nuernberg YaST team - meeting 2008-04-17 * tgoettlicher working on PackageKit backend for opensuse-updater-kde4. so far looking good. note that zypper backend is also functional. * jdsn working on the post install registration workflow, to be called from the updater applet. idea of merging registration configuration and regstration module in the process * kmachalkova updated the nfs client module to support nfsv4 :-), partitioner redesign (with aschnell) and looking into ncurses package selector to keep up with the new libzypp API. * sh has been fixing yast-ui bugs here and there together with the wizard changes. worried about perl-binding crashes. dangling pointers somewhere. * schubi. maintaining coolo :-) misc bugfixes in preparation for beta1 * dmacvicar. integrating libzypp changes with package selector. * mantel. worked mainly on jeos. * snwint. feature for extending braille support in the installation. it can now read the menu entries sending sound via usb. no critical bugs * shaas: package kit backend. patches implemented. strange bug when getting foreign (read non-english) names from rpm db. patches dont have self-provides * gs: sles9 bugs. looking into ncurses package selector too and libzypp api changes. * ma: preparing libzypp for beta1. next steps weak locks. implemented new way of creating capabilities * aschnell: partitioner redesign. few bugs apart of that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] Package callbacks - turning off
by Ladislav Slezak 16 Apr '08

16 Apr '08

Hi all, I have added these new functions into PackageCallbacks.ycp (yast2-2.16.52): RegisterEmptyProgressCallbacks() - registers empty callbacks RestorePreviousProgressCallbacks() - restores the previous registered callbacks (Pkg-bindings have a stack of registered functions for each callback, unregistering a callback means removing the function from the top of the stack.) If you need to temporarily turn off the callbacks then use the functions in a wrapper to ensure that the restoring function is always called: //disable callbacks PackageCallbacks::RegisterEmptyProgressCallbacks(); // Start the requested operation here DoActionWithoutCallbacks(); // restore the previous callbacks PackageCallbacks::RestorePreviousProgressCallbacks(); RegisterEmptyProgressCallbacks() sets empty callbacks for all progress callbacks, if you need to disable just a particular type of callback then use PackageCallbacks::SetDummy*Callbacks() and PackageCallbacks::Restore*Callbacks() functions. The new functionality is used to fix bug #377919, but it might be useful in other modules/scripts. -- 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/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] liby2util is obsolete
by Stefan Hundhammer 16 Apr '08

16 Apr '08

FYI: We just moved liby2util to the unsupported/ branch in SVN. Those of you building YaST2 from SVN might want to delete the local check-out of liby2util. The remaining relevant parts of liby2util had been moved to yast2-core/liby2util-r or to the UIs some time ago. If you wonder why debug logging sometimes doesn't work, check /usr/lib for several versions of liby2util and delete the oldest ones - that one might be the result of y2makeall building and installing that obsolete liby2util.

[yast-devel] named.conf
by Günther J. Niederwimmer 15 Apr '08

15 Apr '08

Hello, is there a possible way to deactivate in YaSt2-XXX Modules the "function" change named.conf ? some modules / scripts change the named.conf by using a ldap server ? The result in the most time, a non functioning named server ? -- mit freundlichen Grüßen / best Regards Günther J.

[yast-devel] Switch to new locks api
by Josef Reidinger 14 Apr '08

14 Apr '08

Libzypp uses new locking api now. You can find it in Locks.h. Works everything except unlock, which I hope implement today. few notes about functions - supported is reading and writing locks to file (default is file specified in zypp.conf). - loadLock append to locks available, if someone find useful setting new locks instead appending (something like restore old locks for frontend) it can be added. - addLock locks all result of query and also store this query for later save, also Selectabable can be locked, it uses optimally query to lock - saving locks must frontend explicit call - saving locks rewrite locks file (as unwanted side effect remove all comments) - existEmptyLocks and removeEmptyLocks is functions to maintance locks. First say if exist some locks which doesn't lock anything and second clean it. (ask for each lock by callback) - if locksfile.apply (see zypp.conf) is on (default) then after start of zypp locks is loaded and applied overview of new file format structure is 'attribute: value', locks (queries) separated by empty line attribute can be global_string (see addString for PoolQuery), string_type (values can be exact, substring, regex, glob), repo (repo allias), kind (Resolvable kind), require_all (if all attribute must match), case_sensitive (search case sensitive), install_status( values can be all, installed, not-installed) and all SolvAttributes with replaced colon ( s/:/_/g ). for example look [0]. default locks file path is /etc/zypp/locks Pepa [0] http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/zypp/trunk/libzypp/tests/zypp/data/PoolQuery/sa… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] Pattern icons
by Duncan Mac-Vicar P. 12 Apr '08

12 Apr '08

While trying the new icon eyecandy in the package selector, I figure out .pat files have wrong icons (10.3) - patterns with no icons -> yast-system -> should be pattern-generic (this one is autocorrected by the code right now) - kde devel pattern should use pattern-kde-devel - gnome devel pattern should use pattern-gnome-devel - app armor should use pattern-apparmor - .NET environment should use pattern-mono - Base system should use pattern-basis and not the novell box - Base development -> pattern-basis-devel There are more, but those appear at first sight, because we have cool icons but not use them. I tested on 10.3, but a quick look reveals factory patterns have the same icons.

[yast-devel] Debugging kernelcrash in installation system
by Bernhard Walle 11 Apr '08

11 Apr '08

Hi YaST hackers, I observe a kernel bug that happens only in YaST partitioning code. Probably the partitioner does some "weird" thing (load modules, etc.) that triggers the bug. How to debug this? Is it possible to trigger the same hardware detection code in a running system? Or do I need to rebuild the kernel (easy) and the installation initrd (because of modules)? Any suggestions appreciated. Bernhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org
