[yast-devel] zypp::ui::Selectable in pkg-bindings
by Ladislav Slezak 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

Hi all, I just have submitted new pkg-bindings package to autobuild (version 2.17.8). The major change is using zypp::ui::Selectable objects instead of iterating over the pool. ui::Selectable groups resolvables of same name and kind to one object which automatically selects the best candidate for installation. The reason for the changes was that the search for the candidate package to install was not implemented correctly and the functionality was duplicated. Pkg-bindings' behavior should be now consistent with other zypp applications (zypper, packer widget...). On the other hand the change was quite large and there might be bugs. If you find any problem with the new pkg-bindings then use bugzilla. -- 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

Hi Schubi! IIRC the package installation callbacks and suseconfig call has support for command line. Lado?

Prague YaST Team Meeting 2008-08-19 =================================== Present: jreidinger, jsrain, jsuchome, lslezak, mvidner, mzugec Absent (vacation): jkupec, juhliarik, kmachalkova, locilka Migration to SP (for SLE11) --------------------------- Migration path for SLE11 has been discussed, details of the migration must be solved in advance (before SLE11 is released). Bootloader ---------- The testsuite in perl-bootloader has now about 150 tests, many bugs have been found and fixed. Support for Trusted GRUB is work in progress (see http://trousers.sourceforge.net) ui::Selectable in pkg-bindings ------------------------------ Pkg-bindings will use ui::Selectable objects instead of direct access to the pool. This will fix some problems with selection of the right package to install and it will also unify the behavior with other zypp based tools (package selector widget, zypper, suseupdater). Network configuration --------------------- Resolving of the local name to 127.0.0.2 in /etc/hosts is now configurable in the control file. It will be enabled in SLED and openSUSE, disabled in SLES. NTP configuration ----------------- Propose NTP by default during installation (fate#303520) Applied Netconfig patch for fine-grained merging of static and DHCP-supplied data (thanks to Michael Calmer). Samba-client ------------ Added option to use WINS for hosts resolution (fate#300971). CUPS policies ------------- The Yast printer module is now able to configure CUPS policies for printing queues. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] repodata.c - clarification
by Roberto Mannai 16 Aug '08

16 Aug '08

Hi I'm writting a patch about the bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=399239 - "YaST's software installation modules should show disk space modification". The patch would be an append in the tooltip on the "Free space" column in the disk usage widget, like "Used XX GB - Installing x MB" or " - Removing x MB". When the user makes a selection for install / removal, I keep a counter of disk usage delta. However I saw that for some packages, the variable zypp::DiskUsageCounter::MountPoint.pkg_size returns 0. Going deeper I saw that "repodata_search" method in "repodata.c" returns in this instruction: for (kp = keyp; (k = *kp++) != 0; ) if (data->keys[k].name == keyname) break; if (k == 0) return; So, for packages like "kernel-rt", "miro" and "kernel-source", I have k == 0, going on no disk usage is computed (no call to pool.c - solver_fill_DU_cb). I'm using the revision 10814 on svn. A quick test case is selecting the "kernel-source" for installation: the disk usage bar does not change (nor the percentage). Is this behaviour wanted (for some condition on Repodata objects) or is it a bug? Is this related to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=375104 ?
