[yast-devel] Improved exception handling in Yast
by Josef Reidinger 09 Dec '13

09 Dec '13

Hi, I would like to announce, that new version of ruby bindings (3.1.2) is released. There is two changes: 1. Detect if there is invalid response type from client ( client call using component system, so only simple types are allowed ) - https://github.com/yast/yast-ruby-bindings/issues/81 2. Improved exception handling. Now if exception appear in client, then error message about internal error is shown to user. It using Report.Error so it works good in various cases ( TUI, autoyast, CLI ). After report it works as before, so client return nil and continue. Reason for this change is to reduce number of silent failures and encourage everyone to use exceptions in yast code. I think we need some rules for exceptions. My proposel is to use exceptions everywhere and every uncaught exception is bug. This behavior allows us to quickly see problem and do not have current silent failures.

[yast-devel] Hudson sending to factory and future of yast-commit mailing list
by Josef Reidinger 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

Hi, At first I think that there is now good time to switch hudson to start sending sr to openSUSE:Factory when version changed as we already agreed in past. It is good time, because we are only weak away from GMC, so there is really low risk of accidental took of package to 13.1. At the second I like to enable together with this step also sending emails when build start failing. We agreed on yast-commit mailing list. But when I check the mailing list I found there a bunch of useless mails like few commits send to repo, click on link to see diff. I think that github works fine even without this email notification. Who read such commit mails? I think that we can stop sending there such emails and send there failures from jenkinks and set OBS to send there also if a package start failing in YaST:Head. What do you think about it? What do you think about proposals? Josef -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] CONTRIBUTING.md draft
by David Majda 04 Nov '13

04 Nov '13

Hi, as part of a Hack Week project [1], some members (and one non-member :-) of the Prague SUSE YaST team decided it is a good idea to add the following two files with standardized content to each YaST GitHub repository: * README.md * CONTRIBUTING.md The README.md file would provide a visitor of the repository with the description of given YaST module, basic installation & usage instructions and pointers to other documentation. Content of this file would be similar (but not exactly the same) for each repository. The CONTRIBUTING.md file would be displayed in GitHub UI when a contributor creates an issue or opens a pull request [2]. It is a convenient place to put basic contribution guidelines and pointers to development documentation. Content of this file would be exactly the same for each repository. We didn't discuss the idea of adding these files with the rest of YaST community so far, because we felt it is non-controversial. In the next paragraphs, I'll assume you generally agree with it -- if that's not the case, or you have some comments, please speak up now. As a flollow-up to the Hack Week project, I finished a draft of the CONTRIBUTING.md file today: https://github.com/yast/yast-nfs-server/pull/11 Let me know what you think about it in comments on GitHub. My plan is to adapt the draft if necessary and once it's stable, I'd like to mechanically add the file to all relevant non-dead repositories inside the YaST organization. If all goes well, I assume I'll do that at the beginning of the next week. After that, I'd like to look at REAMDE.md.

[yast-devel] RFC: Maintenance branch for 13.1
by Josef Reidinger 31 Oct '13

31 Oct '13

Hi, as factory is already splitted to 13.1 and we have bunch of quite aggresive changes on stack like rake build system, rubify code or core changes, I think we should do fixes for 13.1 in maintenance branch following common naming schema[1] - openSUSE-13_1 Any comments, counter-proposals or complains?

[yast-devel] yast-yast2 now have autodocs
by Josef Reidinger 25 Oct '13

25 Oct '13

Hi, today I add simple yardopts file[1] to yast2[2], so it also have autodocumentation like ruby-bindings[3] ( I improve documentation of WFM module[4], so you can check how I think that good documentation should look like). I also enabled github hook so it is regenerated after each push. If you want to create also for your module, then create yardopts file [5] and enable rubydoc hook[6].

[yast-devel] Pull requests at github repo
by Josef Reidinger 25 Oct '13

25 Oct '13

Hi, it looks like after conversion to ruby number of external contribution to yast repo slightly increase. It is quite nice effect, but we should try to keep such contribution. From my POV our current biggest problem with some contributions is small reactions in some cases. So I think how to solve it and propose few rules for yast maintainers. 1. keep response time short ( I think that 24 hours response time is the best, if you check once a day your mailbox, then you should also check if you should review something ) 2. member who do yast screening should at least once a weak check pull requests without activity ( how define it? no activity for week?) and ping proper person ( you can easily sort it from the latest activity with https://github.com/organizations/yast/dashboard/pulls?direction=asc&page=1&… ) 3. member who do screening team should manage* review for modules without specific maintainer * manage mean, that he can ask person who looks the most appropriate for such review I think that even you are discouraged from contribution if noonse seems interested in your fix, so we should act better to encourage contributors. ideas, opinions, comments?

by Ladislav Slezak 25 Oct '13

25 Oct '13

Hi all, for the new installer project I need to update the inst-sys image quite often, to share the knowledge I wrote a blog post. There is a summary how to add a new package to inst-sys (the same applies also to the rescue system, you just need to touch a different file). You can read it here: http://lslezak.blogspot.cz/2013/10/adding-new-package-to-opensuse.html If you have any questions just ask me. -- 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] Snapper - Prevent spin up
by Alain Miltenburg 21 Oct '13

Hi there, I would like to know whether Snapper avoids creating snapshots on disks which are on standby, preventing the disks to spin up. Kind regards, Alain -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org
