[yast-devel] Tips for adding YaST pages to opensuse wiki
by Gabriele Mohr 24 Mar '11

24 Mar '11

Hi all, this is about creating new pages for http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:YaST either by copying a page from http://old-en.opensuse.org/YaST or writing a totally new page. Namespace --------- The namespace is in front of the page name and is separated by ':'. Namespaces used for YaST pages are: openSUSE: all articles concerning openSUSE projects and teams, e.g. openSUSE:YaST_development, openSUSE:YaST_team SDB: help, Howtos, support, e.g. SDB:YaST_tricks, SDB:YaST_remote_logging_during_installation User: for the YaST teams members Portal: overview over a topic, entry point, e.g. Portal:YaST, Portal:Libzypp, Portal:Libstorage see http://en.opensuse.org/Help:Namespace Name of a the page ------------------ The name of the page should be readable like a headline/a short description of the content (words seperated by '_' and lower case writing). Not all YaST pages respect this, good examples are openSUSE:YaST_development, openSUSE:Report_a_YaST_bug, SDB:YaST_remote_logging_during_installation Category -------- Categories should be added to the pages to be able to find/list the pages more easily. [[Category:YaST]] Should be added to all YaST pages (got listed in 'All of YaST' on right side on http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:YaST) [[Category:SDB:YaST]] YaST related SDB articles (got listed when selecting 'SDB:YaST' on http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Support_database) see http://en.opensuse.org/Help:Category Hints if old pages are copied ----------------------------- 1. Adding a TransferNote to the old wiki page To add a transfer note is recommended for important pages or if you have found recent contributions/changes in the page history. The note points to the new page, like: This article has been transferred to the http://en.opensuse.org /openSUSE:YaST_style_guide . Please use new location for your contributions. In first line add {{TransferNote|<new page>}}. 2. Adding an Info to new wiki page If you are unsure whether the content of an old wiki page is still valid, add an info to the page on new wiki, like: This page is NOT up to date. Some information might not be valid any longer. Add {{Info|<the information>}} at the beginning. Ideally find someone who takes care and checks/updates the page.

[yast-devel] HTML backend for Gtk
by Ladislav Slezak 24 Mar '11

24 Mar '11

Hi all, JFYI: I came across a quite interesting blog post mentioning that Gtk+ 3.2 will have a HTML backend for rendering UI. See http://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2011/03/15/gtk-html-backend-update/ esp. the video is worth of seeing. (Note: it uses websockets which are disabled by default in FF4 for security reasons.) This could allow to run (the legacy) YaST with Gtk UI in a web browser without additional changes. What a shame that it appeared that late, we already have WebYaST... :-) -- 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] Git conversion: tool and alpha repo
by Martin Vidner 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

Hi, I have published the second alpha of a YaST Git repository. This is for the Git enthusiasts, others can simply skip this. So far it resides behid the corporate firewall on my workstation: (mainly because I am lazy to find a public place for the 1.1GiB) http://trikolka.suse.cz/git/?p=yast-alpha2;a=summary It is monolithic, but that will change for the final conversion. At the least there will be two repos: platform and modules. The repo is read only, and its purpose is to let you have a look how the SVN features were converted. All branches and tags should be there. The juicy cases like merging and re-branching will still need a closer inspection. The script that I used, along with details interesting if you want to redo it, are at: https://github.com/mvidner/yast2git -- Martin Vidner, YaST developer http://en.opensuse.org/User:Mvidner Kuracke oddeleni v restauraci je jako fekalni oddeleni v bazenu

[yast-devel] Moving YaST from Subversion to Git
by Martin Vidner 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Why --- Git is better. Git enables fearless hacking, power to the people, easy merging. Being distributed, Git enables you to commit often to your local repository and only publish the changes once you are satisfied with the code. The tool supports you even if you do not have write access to the master repo (yet), which lowers the barrier to contribution. http://whygitisbetterthanx.com/ How --- 1) - I convert the SVN repo locally - once it looks usable enough, let people clone it for more testing 2) - make sure everyone feels comfortable with Git; educate and help the newbies 3) - work out the remaining conversion issues - Where: select a hosting service (gitorious, github, elsewhere?) - adapt devtools - decide how to split it (platform - modules - libyui?) - consider the commit/push policies, and their enforcement via Git hooks; for example: - git-flow - whitespace rules - .changes ordering Who --- I want to do it, but I could use a helping hand, both for the details and making sure the project keeps moving. When ---- If maintenance work permits, rather soon. Unlike the rest of the Amaranth project, this can go forward before we decide the language and architecture. -- Martin Vidner, YaST developer http://en.opensuse.org/User:Mvidner Kuracke oddeleni v restauraci je jako fekalni oddeleni v bazenu

[yast-devel] updated hardware list in YaST TV.
by Dean Hilkewich 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

Is it possible for a developer to update the YaST TV module to show the list of devices that v4l now supports? Some devices have been out for a long long time in the kernel and the TV card list in Yast hasn't been updated.

[yast-devel] agent-snapper: no tests
by Martin Vidner 08 Mar '11

I know that yast2-testsuite, based on dejagnu, is a cruel parody of a real test framework, but omitting tests is not going to pay off. I see it is a C++ agent to interface with libsnapper, which does have tests... Oh, I love http://gitorious.com/opensuse/snapper/blobs/master/testsuite-real/CAUTION "The programs here destroy data on your disks!" The agent is not documented. It does not say what paths it supports, and how it maps the libsnapper concepts. -- Martin Vidner, YaST developer http://en.opensuse.org/User:Mvidner Kuracke oddeleni v restauraci je jako fekalni oddeleni v bazenu
