[yast-devel] Table sorting and locales in YaST UI
by Ladislav Slezak 10 May '12

10 May '12

Hi all, I found out that sorting a table in Yast does not work the same way in all UIs. The Qt UI respects the current locale, while ncurses and Gtk always use standard C (ASCII) sorting. That makes a trouble when sorting texts with accents. E.g. ["Z", "Ž", "á", "Á", "A", "a"] is in Qt sorted as users would expect ["a", "A", "á", "Á", "Z", "Ž"] (unless the locale is C/POSIX), while the others always display ["A", "Z", "a", "Á", "á", "Ž"], which is IMHO a bug. The problem is additionally complicated by the locale setting, i.e. it depends on invocation, ssh or su/kdesu keeps the current locale, but "su -" or logging in a text console sets POSIX locale (which results in C sorting). On the other hand locale sorting does not work correctly with numbers, in the repository module I pad priority number with spaces so in C sorting values " 90" and "100" are sorted correctly. However, this does not work when locale sorting is active, the values are in order like this: " 99", " 90", "105", "100", which looks strange. So C sorting would be good here. So how to solve all these problems? - I think table sorting should respect the current locale (so there is a bug in Gtk/ncurses) - The numeric sorting problem can be solved by padding numbers with zeroes instead of spaces e.g. "090" instead of " 90" - it does not look nice but I haven't found any better solution. Any idea? (I tried some tricks with UTF-8 non-breakable space but that didn't help.) Any comments? (BTW I foud out this problem when debugging bnc#752768, I could not reproduce it in 12.1, but I could in 12.2M3.) -- Ladislav Slezák Appliance department / YaST Developer Lihovarská 1060/12 190 00 Prague 9 / Czech Republic tel: +420 284 028 960 lslezak(a)suse.com SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] Popcorn YaST install integration
by Akshit Khurana 04 May '12

04 May '12

Hi, I'm working on Popcorn[1] for openSUSE this summer. Popcorn will gather statistics determining popular packages in openSUSE, and later for other distributions as well. It is inspired by Debian Popcon[2] and the way they(Debian/Ubuntu) get users to sign up is through their installation and configuration tools.[3] We would like the same for Popcorn by integrating with YaST, if that is possible. I look forward to your comments and suggestions. Thanks, Akshit [1] https://github.com/mapleoin/popcorn [2] http://popcon.debian.org/ [3] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuPopularityContest?action=AttachFile… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] how to port a function for use in YaST2
by Michal Filka 04 May '12

04 May '12

Hi, I want to use two functions from GLib in yast2-core's ini agent. I've created a "minimal working subset" of functions from GLib - pure C. It contains three key functions and a couple help functions/macros (mainly related to string manipulations). The functions are not performance critical - used when reading/writing config file at approximately 5 places in whole agent. I want to know what is widely acceptable for use in YaST2. Is it acceptable to use it as a C code (extern "C") as it is, or should I migrate/rewrite it to C++ (I mean nontrivial conversion - e.g. replace char * -> string, malloc -> new and so on).
