I want to fix yast2-slide-show for SLE11 SP3. Which git commands do I have to use, please? Thus far, I have checked out trunk only. -- 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] rspec 3.0
by Josef Reidinger 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

Hi, in this blog post http://myronmars.to/n/dev-blog/2014/05/notable-changes-in-rspec-3 is summary of changes in new rspec 3.0. I do not think that we will use it for SLE-12 tests, but maybe it will be used for 13.2. In general I think we should not use new syntax now, but what we can do is to not use deprecated syntax as there is already alternatives to prevent future problems.

[yast-devel] who is the maintainer?
by Arvin Schnell 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

Hi, while reassigning yast-maintainers bugs I noticed that once again the maintainer/bugowner information is inconsistent: The content of the MAINTAINER file in git differs from the output of 'osc maintainer' or 'osc bugowner'. This leads to confusion. We had this problem before and apparently fail to solve the inconsistency long term. So I propose to drop the MAINTAINER file in git and rely on osc. Instead we can have a AUTHORS files so that people not knowing about osc can still reach the authors.

[yast-devel] GUI for services management
by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

We have been discussing the current usability problems in all modules that manages servers taking this dns-server screenshot as starting point. http://paste.opensuse.org/51547407 We mainly have two problems: - Users expect different effects on running/stopped after changing enabled/disabled (and vice versa). - Sometimes is not so clear when settings should be written to configuration files and when that configuration should be applied to a running server (service reload). I'll try to summarize a possible solution after listening to QA team and SUSE's UX team. For details check [1] 1) Change the UI for enabling/disabling. We don't need a box with radio buttons. It would it better to have a single checkbox. [X] Start DNS server when booting 2) Remove the "reload" button in its current form 3) Add a button [Apply current settings] which works exactly like "ok" but without quitting. Initially disabled. Enabled once the user has changed something. 4) Use pop-ups to ask the user about their intentions when saving changes or running the server. A subtle but important detail - the goal of the pop-ups is exposing functionality and offering options, not warning about something that some users can perceive as problems (and others don't). 4.a) User changed any configuration and clicked on "Start Server Now". Show dialog with "changes are pending" message and two options: "Cancel" and "Save Settings and Start Server Now". 4.b) User changed any configuration and clicked "ok" or "apply": First of all, save settings to configuration files. Next step depends on current situation: a) Server is not running Ask the user if they would like to start the server now b) Server is running and “start when booting” is marked Reload the server c) Server is running and “start when booting” is not marked Ask the user if they would like to stop the server now. If they decide to keep it running, reload the server. What do you think? I'd say it makes a lot of sense. But I'm not sure how the reloading of setting is currently managed in most cases and if somebody could complain about the settings being "immediately" effective on already running services. Cheers.

[yast-devel] First prototype of yast-journal
by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 01 Dec '14

01 Dec '14

A first prototype of the systemd journal reading module is available at: https://github.com/ancorgs/yast-journal It still does not include a Rakefile, so you'll have to do something like this to play with it. Y2DIR=src/ /usr/sbin/yast2 journal It took me a little bit longer than expected because: - I have been going back and forward with the UI design/implementation. - I tried to mimic ActiveRecord as much as possible when querying the journal. Turns out it was not a brilliant decision (as stated in the comments of the SystemdJournal::Query class). I'm sure the code contains a lot of newbie mistakes (specially in the UI part) so let's find them all before we start writing a tutorial with that code as a base :-) I implemented the classes for retrieving and processing the journal entries as pure ruby classes living in /lib. But I'm not sure if it's a good decision. Wouldn't it be better to implement them as a module so it can be accessed from other programming languages? There are still a lot of usability problems and I still need a way to make all this information visible [1], but it's just the first prototype. I'm more worried right now about the architecture (lib vs module) and the libyui usage mistakes/patterns.

[yast-devel] Yast and Rubocop?
by Ladislav Slezak 01 Dec '14

01 Dec '14

Hi all, I looked at Rubocop (a Ruby code scanner) [1] and tried to use it in the registration module to see if it could be used in Yast to improve the code quality. I have summarized my findings in a blog post [2], in short: - it is highly configurable - it can find also some semantic issues - it suggests how to fix the found issues - it can auto correct many issues (esp. indentation and white space) You can see the found issues and fixes in this pull request [3]. Many issues were just harmless indentation or white space issues, but some were quite critical like this "private" attribute misuse [4]. Majority of the issues were autocorrected by Rubocop itself, I just reviewed the changes and committed each fix in a separate commit to see what was the problem and how it was fixed. What do you think about Rubocop and Yast? Would it make sense to use it globally for all modules? What would be the pros and cons for you? Would you like to fix the coding issues in the existing code? Thanks for your feedback!

[yast-devel] Git Branches for openSUSE 13.2
by Martin Vidner 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

Hi, As I said in the team call, I want to avoid uncertainty and inconsistencies, so please let's come to an agreement about Git branches for openSUSE 13.2. Branch Name ----------- openSUSE-13_2 This is the only clear thing :) Global or Individual -------------------- Do we want to make the branches globally in all repos at once, or leave it to the individual maintainers? I think that depends on how we want Jenkins and Travis to work, which I don't know, see below. Jenkins ------- Recall that for SLE 12 in IBS we have - Devel:YaST:Head - Devel:YaST:SLE-12 But in OBS we have always had just YaST:Head, with no dedicated maintenance project. OTOH the Jenkins jobs for Devel:YaST:SLE-12 are failing anyway (all of them except 2) so how is this supposed to work?? Travis ------ With the current setup, Travis will build PRs to the openSUSE-13_2 branch with dependencies from master which is wrong, giving false positives and false negatives. -- Martin Vidner, Cloud & Systems Management Team http://en.opensuse.org/User:Mvidner Kuracke oddeleni v restauraci je jako fekalni oddeleni v bazenu
