[yast-devel] Please fix the zypp-team account
by Stephan Kulow 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Hi, The yast modules are submitted from account zypp-team, which has set zypp-devel(a)suse.de as email. I can decline and comment as I want on such requests - the mail to the submitter just bounces. Please set the email of that account to something actually read - either by an actual team or by someone who's responsible for the submission. The current case is https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/211153 - there is no name associated with that request I can email to ;( Greetings, Stephan -- "Someone's been mean to you! Tell me who it is, so I can punch him tastefully." -- Ralph Bakshi's Mighty Mouse -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] Serial console in VirtualBox
by Ladislav Slezak 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Hi, we have discussed serial console support several times at the meetings, without much output (except "it should work") without any idea about testing. I found out that VirtualBox supports also serial port emulation which can be used for emulating a serial console. Here is a short HowTo for emulating a serial console in VirtualBox: - Install "socat" utility ("zypper in socat", it's included in 12.3 and 13.1) - Create a new virtual machine in VBox, configure it for installing the requested product (i.e. add the selected ISO image as a virtual CD drive) - In "Settings" -> "Serial Ports" set "Enable Serial Port", "Port Number": COM1, "Port Mode": "Host Pipe" Select "Create Pipe" checkbox, enter path to the created pipe file in "Port/File Path" (e.g. "/tmp/com1") - Boot the machine - In the host run command "socat unix-connect:/tmp/com1 stdio,raw,echo=0,icanon=0" in a terminal (replace "/tmp/com1" by the path set in the serial port config) - In the VM boot prompt add "console=ttyS0,115200" option (or you can enter that using the text menu in the serial console) - Start the installation - You should see the boot process and then textmode Yast installer in the serial console terminal. Install the system as usually, there is nothing specific to serial console installation (besides it is in textmode). I have tested the latest NI ISO image and the installation was successful! After reboot you can log into the machine using the serial console as well. Summary: The feature still works, we just need to check it later once again (in some Beta, to make sure we did not break it). -- 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] Moving from *.spec.in to *.spec
by Ladislav Slezak 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

[ This change was already done some time ago, I just forgot to announce it. This announcement is mainly important for the community developers. ] Introduction ------------ For SLE12/openSUSE-13.2 we switched from *.spec.in files (which were processed by "create-spec" script from devtools during "make package-local") to directed *.spec stored in Git. This is needed because of the new CI integration (it uses "osc build" as a backend for testing build and we need an easy way to get *.spec, the old way was too complicated). This will also make the future maintenance easier, now for generating the *.spec for SLE11 you need SLE11 devtools which is the most tricky part when preparing a maintenance update. With *.spec files stored directly in Git this problem is gone... Moving from *.spec.in to *.spec -------------------------------- The *.spec.in files provided a flexibility by using some macros which were expanded by "create-spec". To keep this flexibility we moved the shared code to RPM macros [1] which is a clean and standard RPM way. I did the move for most of Yast packages (I skipped the unmaintained/obsolete ones), but some 3rd party modules will be missing the transition so here is a quick HowTo: - move *.spec.in to package/*.spec - replace the @MACROS@: - @HEADER-COMMENT@ and @HEADER@: replace by the content generated by "create-spec", look at the generated *.spec or see the generator[2] - the rest should be replaced by the respective RPM tag and an Yast RPM macro, see the example in yast2 [3] - replace the macros also in the %files section (again, see the example) - @CLEAN@ can be removed (not needed) - update the BuildRequires dependency to "yast2-devtools >= 3.0.6" (contains the new RPM macros) (You could simply use the *.spec generated by "create-spec" script but that's not recommended, it will miss some future changes as the RPM macros can be updated in the future.) If you have any questions or problems with transition in your module then just ask.

[yast-devel] Removed VERSION files, install latest rubygem-yast-rake and yast2-devtools
by Ladislav Slezak 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Hi, we stored the package version at two places, in VERSION and spec files, and this lead to inconsistencies because people usually forgot to update the *.spec files after changing the VERSION file. I have modified the yast rake tasks and devtools to read the version directly from *.spec. And I also removed VERSION files from all Git repositories[1]. (I did it directly in master after approving one commit, opening 100+ the same pull requests would be useless...) You need to install rubygem-yast-rake-0.1.5 and yast2-devtools-3.1.10 packages (or newer) from YaST:Head to make it work properly. Since now, if you want to update the package version edit the spec files directly or simply run 'rake version:bump'. If you find any problem related to missing VERSION just let me know. Enjoy!
