Prague YaST team meeting 2009-08-06 ----------------------------------- http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Team present: jkupec, jsrain, juhliarik, jsuchome, lslezak, mkudlvasr, mzugec absent: jreidinger, kmachalkova, locilka, mvidner minutes: jkupec YaST packages ------------- Two new packages extracted from yast2-core: yast2-dbus-client and yast2-dbus-server. This frees yast2-core of the DBus and PolicyKit dependency (lslezak). WebYaST ------- lslezak investigated the use of caching to avoid calling of long lasting operations (like getting the list of available patches via PackageKit) repeatedly. As long as the cache is valid, the UI gets the cached result instead of executing the operation. Cache gets invalidated after certain amount of time, or when a change affecting the result is detected. Zypp(er) -------- * Searching/listing/installation by issues (bugzilla #, CPE advisories) added (fate #305503) * --download-only option added to several zypper commands like 'install' to only download packages for later installation (fate #302159). * Logging of http redirections added to ZYpp's Curl backend (fate #305320). Will help resolve problems with broken mirrors used by downloads.opensuse.org redirector. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] qt-pkg: column-size-behavior: how to get patches into the SVN-repo ?
by Frank Schaefer 13 Aug '09

13 Aug '09

Hi, I'm currently working on some improvements for the column-size-behavior in qt-pkg. I've already written a patch that has been submitted to trunk and fixed bug 441828 and the next patches will increase it's performance enormusly. What's the preferred procedure to get the patches into the SVN-repo ? Is there a review-process ?

[yast-devel] shutdown restart functionality
by Martin Schmidkunz 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Hi, concerning the shutdown/restart functionality of webYaST I`d like to propose to do it in a similar way as it is done on the desktop instead of creating a single module. How this solution might look like can be viewed at: http://en.opensuse.org/Image:Concept_restart_shutdown_logout_1.odp Just click on "Exit" in the upper right corner and then a pop up appears which asks the user how he would like to end the session: * logout: just ends the session and returns to login screen * restart: restarts the system and prompts a login screen * shutdown: shuts down the system Please note that this is just a draft to show you the idea behind it. That means that icons and labels are just quick placeholders :-) I would suggest not to use any additional explanatory text (e.g. Shutdown - Shuts down your system) because the text would show only a limited amout of additional information and might annoy the target user group. The reasons to do something similar as it is done by the desktop would be: * consistency with user expectations and the users concepts of shutting down a graphical environment * to avoid confusion because the shutdown module would be on the same hierarchical level as a single module but affect the whole system and not just a single part of it * modules are used for configuration and shutdown/reboot is unrelated to configuration Looking forward to your comments, Martin -- Martin Schmidkunz User Experience Specialist martin.schmidkunz(a)novell.com +49 (0) 911 740 53-346 ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Novell, Inc.

[yast-devel] FATE vs. yast-devel for WebYaST
by Klaus Kaempf 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Hi, as a developer, I spend most of my time on the command line using $EDITOR or $MAILER with occasional uses of $IRC. For planning features, I am required to use FATE (a KDE program) and, quite frankly, hate the context switch. In an ideal world, tools would offer multiple frontends and let the user choose between a rich GUI or a CLI. But reality is different. So I'd like to establish a clearer distinction in our use of FATE vs the yast-devel mailing list: - Use FATE (the discussion thread) for comments on the feature scope. This should cover clarification of the initial description and clear documentation about whats 'in' and whats 'out'. - Use the yast-devel mailing list to discuss implementation details and the approach to fulfill the requirement. Ideally, this would result is a short discussion within Fate at the planning state of the feature to clarify the requirements. Everything else should happen on the mailing list. This ensures openness and broad review of the implementation approach. If needed, put links to the yast-devel archive into Fate to capture the mail thread.
