I mean, replacing one string with another can have many meanings: 1) changed "baeutiful" to "beautiful" (typo) 2) changed "ethereal" to "wireshark" (project renamed upstream) 3) changed "imgmagic" to "ImageMagick" (lifted 8 char restriction) 4) changed "portmap" to "rpcbind" (different package, same goal, bnc#...) 5) changed "GNOME" to "KDE" (strategy change, bnc#...) and it is reasonable to provide a link to details for 4 and 5. -- Martin Vidner, YaST developer http://en.opensuse.org/User:Mvidner Kuracke oddeleni v restauraci je jako fekalni oddeleni v bazenu

[yast-devel] how to contribute to YaST2 (yast2-fingerprint-reader)

Hi Rudi, > hi, I've got some changes for yast2-fingerprint-reader in factory > [ https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/46152 ] > is it okay to do this as submitrequest or should I send the patch to > someone specific ? I am replying to the list so that other people sending patches will have it easier. Thanks for the patch! It's okay as a submit request, although it is more prefered if you base the diff on the subversion repo: http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/trunk/ http://svn.opensuse.org/viewvc/yast/trunk/ http://old-en.opensuse.org/YaST/Development#YaST_Source_Code To find the maintainer of a module, use either http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/trunk/fingerprint-reader/MAINTAINER or $ osc maintainer -e openSUSE:Factory yast2-fingerprint-reader bugowner of YaST:Head/yast2-fingerprint-reader : jsuchome(a)novell.com maintainer of YaST:Head/yast2-fingerprint-reader : coolo(a)novell.com Anyway, Jirka is on vacation now. I'll merge the patch, provided that... Regarding that particular change, can you add more explanation to the code and changelog about *why* pam_fp is changed to pam_fprint? bnc#? URL? -- Martin Vidner, YaST developer http://en.opensuse.org/User:Mvidner Kuracke oddeleni v restauraci je jako fekalni oddeleni v bazenu

[yast-devel] Incredibly slow YCP files parsing (after 11.1 -> 11.3 upgrade)
by Katarina Machalkova 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hola YaST hackers, recently I've upgraded my laptop from the ancient 11.1 to 11.3 and since then, YaST became slower than molasses. It's not my subjective impression only, I have some evidence to support that claim, though I have (so far) no clue why is this happening. Watching the log, I noticed the whole thing hangs on importing some (random?) modules and the hangs last from 20-30 secs up to several minutes. After that, it imports some more modules and hangs again on importing something else ... and so on. Allright, so I deployed strace. Looking at its output, this command is fast: '/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base $module qt' OTOH, this one is incredibly slow: '/sbin/yast2 $module' Watching strace output, lines like this scroll by for ages: [pid 8194] read(7, "b", 1) = 1 [pid 8194] read(7, "u", 1) = 1 [pid 8194] read(7, "s", 1) = 1 [pid 8194] read(7, ";", 1) = 1 OK, so obviously the more YCP files it has to parse, the longer it takes to launch. Comparing y2-users (lots of YCP files) with y2-inst_release_notes (relatively few YCP files), the former takes ~5 minutes to launch, while the latter needs only 5 seconds. Soo - this can't be a secret YaST feature, can it? :) Am I doing anything wrong? Did upgrade mess something up? If so, what? Has anyone seen something like this before (in bugzilla etc.)? If needed, I can make my laptop available if someone wants to play with it Greetings B.

[yast-devel] webyast: git open
by Josef Reidinger 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hi, we finally release Beta5. Thanks all internal testers who helps with verifying. Git is now open again for commits. But as RC is near, don't add any feature (so all fixes should have bnc) and each change should have test which demonstrate problematic behavior (and if it is not possible, then please mention it in commit message, I will really check it).

Hi! Last night, svn.opensuse.org was migrated to a new machine. Currently there are some problems with the new server (you get error messages while commiting, commit mails are not sent), I hope to get them solved during today.

Well, we are currently busy with other projects, so I do not see a time when it could be in better shape. But maybe you can look at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:YaST_Modules and create a base for new module you have the info about. > I'll create a bug report then.

Either it's the LDAP module that is missing some hint on > integration with autofs or it's the autofs module which incorrectly > states that there is something in the ldap server module :-) The problem I saw was that the help text in autofs module is not good enough to guide you, so I'd target this one.

[yast-devel] Documentation?
by Birger Kollstrand 09 Aug '10

09 Aug '10

Hi, I'm trying to find information on the yast-autofs module. I'm updating/setting up a new file server and need autofs to work as it serves NFS shares to the clients during log on. >From the page http://en.opensuse.org/Yast there is a lot of empty links. Is it all under a move of some sorts? My specific question is something I think I found an answer for a couple of years ago... but I can't find it anymore. The Yast autofs module gives an error message: "LDAP configuration error. You must configure LDAP to use the autofs module. You can do it by using the Yast ldap module." The autofs Help button cannot be used as the error message blocks that and the complete autofs module disappears when pressing OK on the error message. In the Yast 's LDAP configuration I can't find any direct reference to autofs. But if I remember correctly there is a schema that needs to be added. Any help in moving forward on this would be appreciated. I think the error message is a bit vague and should be updated to give a better understanding for the user on how to solve the issue. If there is an interest in that among the developers then I can write a bug report on it. And finally, how is the new wiki page meant to be used? Could I add my experiences on how to use autofs/ldap there when I have resolved my issues?
