[yast-devel] Yast webclient - template helpers (translations, output formatters)
by Ladislav Slezak 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hi, Another thing I noticed is that the webclient plugins do not use any shared code for generating HTML output or for translations. I defined some helpers in web-client/webclient/app/helpers/application_helper.rb file. These helpers are automatically available in all webclient templates. There is e.g. 'delete' => _("Delete") helper, and more should be added. The translators will translate the common texts just once not per plugin package. Moreover I added 'simple_table' helper for generating overview table (optionally with Add/Edit/Delete links), it's already used in samba_server plugin. It's not a generic function for creating any table layout, but for major yast overview dialogs it should be sufficient. I wanted to define some namespaces for the helpers, like Label for delete, but I failed. Rails could not find the functions in the namespace, any idea why? (I can send a patch if needed...) Again, we should share as much code as possible. So if you think that the code which you just have written could be used in some other plugin move it to the base webclient package (and don't forget to document it well). -- 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] Question about Python and Ruby bindings
by Jeff Shantz 10 Jun '09

10 Jun '09

Hi all, First off, let me apologize if my questions have already been covered. I searched the archives and Googled for answers, but didn't come up with much. I am developing the YaST education module as part of the Google Summer of Code. I am interested in using the Python bindings, and currently have yast2-python-bindings-2.17.3-1.41 installed on openSUSE 11.1. I created a template using the config-python skeleton, but when I do a make/make install and then try to run my module, I get an error that no such client module is found in the search path (/y2update/clients, /root/.yast2/clients, /usr/share/YaST2/clients). I assume that the problem lies in the fact that a .py file has been installed in /usr/share/YaST2/clients instead of a .ycp file. Do I need to create a .ycp wrapper to load my Python module, or what is the "standard" way? Second question, out of interest. I see that Ruby bindings exist for YaST, but haven't seen much documentation on them except for a few blog posts from 2007. Are the Ruby bindings production ready, or still considered unstable? If these questions are in the wrong list, please direct me to the right place. Thanks all.

[yast-devel] Yast webservice - sharing .rake files
by Ladislav Slezak 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

Hi all, I started to implement an example WebYast package and I have a yast2-devtools skeleton for REST API package ready. But I found that many things are duplicated in all REST plugins. E.g. each Rakefile contains the same copied targets (e.g. 'package'). The common targets should be shared instead of copying. If there is a bug or we want to add a new feature we have to fix a lot of packages... Here is my proposal: - Add include.rake file into rakelib[*] subdirectory in each plugin, see the attachment. (It includes the files from the current directory if it's called inside the git repository otherwise it includes system files from /srv/www/yastws/...) - Define the shared tasks in rest-service/webservice/lib/tasks/webservice subdirectory. The tasks should use webservice: namespace prefix so it's obvious that they are defined in the webservice not in the plugin or somewhere else. (See syntax_check.rake example) After that 'rake -T' in a plugin subdirectory will display the syntax check target from the shared directory, no need to copy&paste the code. What do you think about it? Any comments? I'm not a Rakefile expert... [*] I found that tasks defined in 'tasks' subdirectory in plugins are not found by rake, they must be in 'rakelib' subdirectory instead. We have to call 'git mv tasks rakelib' for all plugins and fix the .spec files... -- 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/ # import global .rake files for plugins if File.exist?

[yast-devel] New yast2-devtools skeleton for Yast webservice plugins
by Ladislav Slezak 25 May '09

25 May '09

Hi all, I just have committed a new yast2-devtools skeleton for yast webservice plugins to Yast SVN repository. This is the first version, there might be bugs or we can change something later, but it should be usable as a good starting point. This skeleton uses the Yast DBus service as a backend, you need yast2-core>=2.18.10 (SVN trunk version is recommended, I just have noticed that there is a small unsubmitted fix). Note: The Yast Web interface has two parts - the REST service (backend) and webclient (uses the backend and renders HTML pages), this skeleton is for the backend part. Later I'll create skeleton also for the webclient plugins. Quick start ----------- - install the latest yast2-devtools from SVN trunk (yast2-core is recommended) - go to the webservice plugins directory in the checked out GIT repository - call 'y2tool create-new-package rest-plugin <plugin_name> <author> <email>', e.g. 'y2tool create-new-package rest-plugin printers "Ladislav Slezak" "lslezak(a)novell.com"' - (re)start the webservice - the new plugin will be available after restart - Test the new REST API: http://localhost:8080/<plugin_name>.xml will download list of all items, http://localhost:8080/<plugin_name>/first.xml will download details of the item with ID 'first' (there are some testing data in the generated code, so you can immediately check whether the created skeleton works) Adapting the skeleton to your Yast module ----------------------------------------- - Prerequisite1: Your Yast module must have high level stateless API (e.g. YaPI:: modules), if it doesn't exist yet you have to add it. (Well, you can start with stateful API first, but you should definitely add and use the stateless API later, see http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/DBus_Service/Description#How_to_export_YaST_fun… for details.) - Prerequisite2: define .policy kit files for the needed functions in Prerequisite1 (see PolicyKit doc: http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/PolicyKit/polkit-conf.html, how to get the action ID for a specific Yast DBus service call: http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/DBus_Service/Description#PolicyKit_Action_ID ) - Go through all generated files (the most important are in app/controllers and app/models subdirectory) and adapt/fix the code marked by FIXME string. Replace also the testing data with appropriate Yast calls. Any feedback is welcomed! -- 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] WebYast server side path completion
by Josef Reidinger 25 May '09

25 May '09

Hi, I think that might be useful for some modules to allows enhanced specify path of target machine. Usual java script browsing cannot be used, as it uses browser pc and not server pc. As base I use this script http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery/autocomplete.htm , but must disable caching and losing focus, as it doesn't work after submit first part of path (no hint on another parts). If you want try it, just add to public/javascript attached js file and to public/stylesheets attached css and gif. Additional you must define for some controller response: for path finding I use this: def pathcompl path = params[:q] if (path[0].chr != "/") path = "/"+path end dir = path[0..path.rindex("/")] pre = path[path.rindex("/")+1..path.size] result = `ls -1 '#{dir}' | sed "s:^\$.\\+\$$:#{dir}\\1:"| grep '#{dir}#{pre}'` render :text => result end How to use...fast way is add this to your RoR view (home_controller contain pathcompl method) and: <input type="text" id="autocomplete" name="autocomplete_parameter"/> <script type="text/javascript"> $("#autocomplete").autocomplete("home/pathcompl",{ cacheLength:1 }); </script> and to head of view: <script src="/javascripts/jquery.autocomplete.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/stylesheets/jquery.autocomplete.css" /> What do you think about this enhancement? I welcome any comments as I am just learning AJAX, RoR and js. Josef

[yast-devel] Building a system for automatic Recovery using Yast
by Leonardo L. P. da Mata 22 May '09

22 May '09

Hello, I'm thinking about a new usage of AutoYast (or at least a new in my head), I'm thinking about building an automatic system recovery for OpenSuse. The idea is to install a system and then create an image of the installed system and store into a partition of the disk. This partition will contain the installer, with an autoyast.xml script that will use this image to automatic restore the installed system (like Sony does in its Notebooks). I can boot the installer through the HD, but i can't use autoyast. I don't know how to change the options on the manual-installer to use the autoyast. if i enter in the expert mode i can change config passing "autoysat=file:///autoyast.xml", but i don't know how to boot through the HD in the expert mode. Can you help-me? How do i change the "install url: cd:/" option? It is possible to change the installer to automatic look for the data in the HD instead of CD or USB? Is there any detailed documentation about the installation process? As conception sounds good, but I need to mature this idea, do you have any suggestions, information or ideas to give? Thanks. -- Leonardo Luiz Padovani da Mata barroca(a)gmail.com "May the force be with you, always" "Nerd Pride... eu tenho.

[yast-devel] WebYaST update
by Stefan Schubert 22 May '09

22 May '09

Hi, I have made an snapshot of the current WebYaST and have put the packages on: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=YaST%3AWeb I have tested these packages on a new installed 11.1. As we still have alpha phase we have reduced the version number to 0.0.1. So do not wonder if "zypper up" does not work correctly :-) We would like to ask you about your opinions. Thank you very much !!!

[yast-devel] tagversion and SP1-Stash
by Martin Vidner 20 May '09

20 May '09

Hi hackers, as Miso pointed out, y2tool tagversion was broken for the SP1-Stash branch (because it sits under branches/tmp, not under branches). You would not probably notice that until make package. Since yast2-devtools SVN r57259 it works again, sorry for the inconvenience. -- 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
