[yast-devel] Automatical built of YaST packages
by Thomas Goettlicher 10 May '13

10 May '13

Developers, I'm happy to announce that YaST packages are built and submitted automatically now. For every change of a YaST package located in the git repo's master branch ( https://github.com/yast/ ) the package is build automatically. On success it's submitted to YaST:Head in the build service, otherwise an email on yast-commit(a)opensuse.org informs about the failure. Packages in YaST:Head still need to be submitted to Factory manually because we want to make sure not to break Factory by this automatism.

[yast-devel] Disturbing branches at GitHub (broken/...)
by Lukas Ocilka 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Hi, You've probably already found out that there are a lot of "broken" branches at our GitHub repositories: For instance: * upstream/broken/master * upstream/broken/openSUSE-10_0 * upstream/broken/openSUSE-10_1 * upstream/broken/openSUSE-10_2 * ... AFAIK, these branches were left there from the unsuccessful migration from SVN to GitHub. So, what are we going to do with them? From my point of view, they are not needed and just disturb there.

[yast-devel] OBS 12.3
by Karl Eichwalder 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

To https://build.opensuse.org/project/repositories?project=YaST%3AHead I just added the 12.3 repo. Now I'm wondering whether we'd still need 12.1 and 12.2? Maybe, we should keep it, but disabling it by default? -- Karl Eichwalder SUSE LINUX Products GmbH R&D / Documentation Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] yast bootlader and multiple bootloader locations with grub2
by Andrey Borzenkov 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

How yast bootloader module behaves in case multiple bootloader locations were selected? I have evidences that it tries to install bootloader on all selected locations. Unfortunately the way grub2 is currently integrated into openSUSE it very likely makes all but one (the last where it was installed) locations invalid leading to obscure and hard to debug problems. Background - I observed user who had grub2 installed both on MBR and partition block, in blocklist mode, pointing to two *different* locations of core.img in /boot. Of course only one location may possibly be valid. The second one *may* accidentally look OK if blocks were not yet reused, but as soon as blocks will be overwtitten, we'll get garbage and won't boot. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] %Documentation in .spec.in files
by Lukas Ocilka 22 Jan '13

22 Jan '13

Hi, I've submitted a new yast2-inetd package having this in spec.in file: --- cut --- %doc %dir @docdir@ %readme @docdir@/README --- cut --- which generates this in .spec file: --- cut --- %doc %dir %{_prefix}/share/doc/packages/yast2-inetd %readme %{_prefix}/share/doc/packages/yast2-inetd/README --- cut --- According to the build team, we can use %{_defaultdocdir}/%{name} instead of %{_prefix}/share/doc/packages/yast2-inetd What do you think? Is it worth adapting the devtools?

[yast-devel] Way Outdated Online Documentation
by Lukas Ocilka 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

Hi, I've been checking the latest documentation we have online [#1] and it seems that the latest update was on 03-Dec-2010 14:29. Who takes care about building and uploading the documentation? Can't this be automatic?

[yast-devel] heads up: systemd-197
by Martin Vidner 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

Hi, LWN brought my attention to the release of systemd-197, which 1) drops support for distro specific config files like /etc/HOSTNAME 2) introduces a new system for stable network interface naming (having swallowed udev earlier) http://lwn.net/Articles/531850/ http://lwn.net/Articles/532043/ I *think* that it will not get into openSUSE 12.3 yet. -- Martin Vidner, Cloud & Systems Management Team http://en.opensuse.org/User:Mvidner Kuracke oddeleni v restauraci je jako fekalni oddeleni v bazenu

Yast Gurus, I have a question from my customer about this variable and what possible values & their meaning are? Do we have any documentation available?

[yast-devel] Switching from init.d to systemd - Testcases might break
by Lukas Ocilka 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Hi, I've just submitted new version of yast2.rpm to YaST:Head. This change switches Service.ycp from using init.d to systemd. It may happen that this change will break some testcases in another packages. I'll try to fix them if I find such an issue.
