Not yet, sorry, I'm not sure what the change is exactly all about and what does or doesn't do. All in all it seems that the LDAP keys have only changed capitalization: "someSpecialKey" instead of "somespecialkey". It's been changed because of FATE #303596, reported as bug #342933. Let's wait for maintainer to give us more information. Maybe everything but YaST works fine... L.

[yast-devel] build failures with yast2-{core,devtools}-2.17.2
by Martin Vidner 18 Jul '08

18 Jul '08

Hi hackers, you have probably noticed the many build failures of yast packages. I am already fixing most of them. The gory details follow if you're interested. The change causing them was intended to fix the annoyingly long warnings about a deprecated C++ header in YCode.h, <ext/hash_map>. It turned out that while hash_map is deprecated, its replacement <unordered_map> is not standard yet, so I had to feed g++ with -std=c++0x. One problem with that was that I incorrectly assumed that all packages using YAST2-CHECKS-PROGRAM in configure.in.in depend on yast2-core. That is fixed in yast2-devtools-2.17.3. Another problem is that using the newer C++ standard subtly shuffles the library includes, which reveals errors that previously went unnoticed. For example I had a few #include <algorithm> missing in core itself. And actually it is not -std=c++0x but -std=gnu++0x because we use the typeof gnu extension in libzypp headers. Fixed in yast2-core-2.17.3. -- 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] Supporting 80x24 resolution?
by Katarina Machalkova 18 Jul '08

18 Jul '08

Hi, hackers I know this is not extremely popular topic to discuss, but as we keep getting new bug reports almost every other week that certain module has part of its widgets invisible in ncurses 80x24 screen, I can't help mentioning it *) So far, minimum supported screen resolution has been 80 columns x 25 rows for the text mode, probably due to serial console screen size. Now the thing is, many terminal emulators (xterm, Gnome terminal, to mention just a few) have 80x24 as their default size. Especially for inexperienced user it might be hard to figure out that (s)he needs to enlarge the screen to get access to the full functionality of the module. Any comment on claiming 80x24 as minimum supported resolution (and mentioning it in the style-guide)? Frankly, I have no clue how many yast modules would need to be adjusted, so far I know about network and (afair) ldap-client, and if it is a good idea at all, I'm just trying to gather some feedback. B. (*) I admit this is also partly my fault as I introduced the lower contrast status bar with function keys, taking yet another line off the screen -- \\\\\ Katarina Machalkova \\\\\\\__o YaST developer __\\\\\\\'/_ & hedgehog painter

[yast-devel] Color theme for textmode YaST - wiki page

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I have recently added an article to openSUSE wiki about setting the color theme for the textmode YaST, see http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Tips#Color_theme_for_textmode_YaST. It describes how to set the color theme manually (the feature was added by Bubli and is available since 10.3) and how to create a customized theme by starting a style edit menu.

[yast-devel] y2debug in Perl modules
by Kevin James 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

Hi, Is it possible to set a specific entry under [Debug] in /etc/YaST2/log.conf to enable debug messages from perl modules? I am using y2debug in a perl module and it only shows up in y2log if I debug everything with Y2DEBUG=1, and the entry shows up prefixed with [-e]. I tried "-e = true" in log.conf but it doesn't work.
