[yast-devel] manipulating multi-section configuration files
by David Bolt 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

I have a configuration file with sections to it, an example of it is something like this: <snippet of configuration file> [rc5-72] fetch-workunit-threshold=0 fetch-time-threshold=0 [ogr_p2] fetch-workunit-threshold=0 fetch-time-threshold=24 preferred-blocksize=0 [triggers] restart-on-config-file-change=yes pause-on-no-mains-power=yes [display] progress-indicator=auto-sense detached=no [processor-usage] priority=0 max-threads=-1 </snippet> and want to know if it's possible to read and write the individual sections, especially where there are options with the same names in different sections. If it is possible, are there any examples available to work with? Using the simple example at: <URL:http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Tutorials/QuickModule> I was able to read and write a straight forward configuration file, but this creates invalid files where there are multiple sections. I just need to figure out how to figure out how to modify the individual parts of the file.

[yast-devel] Writting to SCR before system installed
by Lee Leahu 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hi List, I'm developing a module that will run as part of the autoyast installation workflow. It prompts the user for certain details that are only know at the time of auto installation. I've already included that module and a blank /etc/sysconfig/file file into the Installation System's cramfs image. The process that I designed works like this: - when autoyast starts, ask the user for the settings - use SCR to save the settings to /etc/sysconfig/file - just before the system is rebooted, copy the /etc/sysconfig/file to the installed hard drive. Here's the prompt. With step #2, I call SCR::Write but it doesn't write! I don't see any errors /var/log/YaST2/y2log either. Yet, if I run the module manually it rights fine. In both test cases, I'm starting the install using the ssh remote installation method of SLES10. This allows me to log in and fire off yast2 or the custom module itself at will. Any thoughts? The module is due soon and I don't want to disappoint. Thanks! -- Lee Leahu Home Office: 1-815-630-2349 RICIS, Inc.

[yast-devel] Install server
by Birger Kollstrand 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hi, Just a quick question on the Yast Install server. Please direct me to other lists if this one is the wrong for this question. I installed a server with the boxed edition and set up an install server. When adding the dual layer DVD as install medium it took both the 32 bit an 64 bit in to one folder. Is this behaviour correct and if so, how shall the client choose the righ version? Earlier when I have added media it has been separate DVD's for 32 and 64 bit and that was easy enough. I'm using this in conjuction with autoyast and pxeboot.

Hi, I'd like to completely rewrite the $SUBJECT in installation and you have an opportunity to say how do you think it could look and what could it offer to do or how. I've filed a blog entry about the $SUBJECT at http://kobliha-suse.blogspot.com/2009/01/system-ugrade-previously-used.html Bye Lukas -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ano, ano.

[yast-devel] Wizard contents alignment
by Ricardo Cruz 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

Hi there, Vincent is requesting that the wizard contents come from the top when they don't fill the entire area (see fingerprint tool / bug 464902). From the style guide (http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Style_Guide): «Content area - Consists of a dialog definition. For some cases it is placed it the upper-left corner, in another ones in the middle. It depends on the situation.» That seems to deserve clarification, so we can have a reference for the bug reports, and maybe an elaboration would be in order as well. Because the yast window doesn't adjust to the size of the contents, it seems like visually it works better when the content is centered or there would be too much discrepancy with the buttons. Possible exception when the side tree / todo list is used?

[yast-devel] YaST Backup: User-Defined Scripts
by Lukas Ocilka 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

Hi, I've implemented a new feature "user-defined pre- and post-backup scripts" that allows you to call whatever you like right before and after the backup. There are several use-cases including database backup and uploading the resulting backup archive to a central server or to tape. See more at http://kobliha-suse.blogspot.com/2009/01/yast-backup-user-defined-scripts.h… Use it well ;) Bye Lukas -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ano, ano.

[yast-devel] libycp and iterators
by Arvin Schnell 07 Jan '09

07 Jan '09

Hi, I have made some changes to libycp most of you don't have to care about: The iterators for YCPMap and YCPList are now not self defined classes anymore but simply typedefs for the STL iterators. Thus they provide more operators now (e.g. operator--) and are better usable for STL algorithms because they contain informations about their iterator category (bidirectional and random access). Instead of: for (YCPMapIterator pos = map->begin (); pos != map->end (); ++pos) key = pos.key() value = pos.value() Please use: for (YCPMap::const_iterator pos = map->begin(); pos != map->end(); ++pos) key = pos->first value = pos->second That is used a few times outside of libycp. The old class YCPMapIterator does still work but I would like to remove it in a few months. ciao Arvin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org
