[yast-devel] YaST Tips&Tricks
by Ladislav Slezak 25 Jan '22

25 Jan '22

Hi all, some time ago we discussed where and how we should share "Tips&Tricks" for YaST users and developers. IIRC there was no clear conclusion so I decided to start a wiki [1] to collect all our tricks we know or use. For now it's just a place for dumping your ideas, links, short howtos, etc... When we collect enough data we can probably split it to several categories or move it somewhere else. We just need the data first. I have added there some my tricks from my personal "knowledgebase" file. If you have better tricks or find something wrong simply change it, it's a wiki ;-) Ladislav [1] https://github.com/yast/yast.github.io/wiki/YaST-Tips-and-Tricks -- Ladislav Slezák YaST Developer SUSE LINUX, s.r.o.

[yast-devel] Enable Travis Auto Cancellation Feature?
by Ladislav Slezak 25 Sep '17

25 Sep '17

Hi, Travis recently enabled a new auto cancellation feature. If you commit a new change Travis can automatically cancel the old builds in the queue. That means you should get the results for the latest change faster. See more details at the Travis blog [1]. To me it looks like a nice feature. The only drawback is that if you really use the strict TDD approach (write a failing test first then create a fix, like I did here [2]) then you would have to wait a bit between pushing the test and the fix. At least until the first build starts. But that is usually not the case is our workflow so it should not be an issue and we could use this feature by default. So any reason why NOT using the auto cancellation feature? Otherwise I'd enable it globally for all Travis jobs...

[yast-devel] Getting 'yast2 live-installer' to default to Ext4 instead of BtrFS for partitioning
by jamesp＠vicidial.com 28 Jul '17

28 Jul '17

In the new version of the live-installer module distributed with OpenSuSE Leap 42.3 (and maybe 42.2) they have removed the flexibl_partitioning functionality. So by default now the proposal comes up with BtrFS and it's laundry list of subvolumes. This is not good for the Kiwi LiveCD I generate since there are a lot of MySQL and high read/write server workloads that BtrFS does not perform well with. So essentially I need to have the default FS when 'yast2 live-installer' is ran from the LiveCD default to Ext4. Preferred partitioning scheme would be to wipe out whatever is on the first hard drive it finds then set-up a 4GB Swap partition and the rest as root. Anyone know how I can accomplish this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] Old Travis cleanup
by Ladislav Slezak 25 Jul '17

25 Jul '17

Hi all, Some time ago we switched from Ubuntu to Dockered openSUSE builds at Travis. I kept the original YaST Ubuntu packages for a while just in case we need to go back to Ubuntu. But the Docker approach works well and it is time to say good bye to the old unused repositories. Therefore I have removed the YaST:Head:Travis and the YaST:storage-ng:Travis OBS repositories. Because creating and maintaining the Ubuntu packaging took quite a lot of effort the Ubuntu packages are backed up in a new Git repository [1]. The repository is provided just for your reference, there is no support for those packages, use at your risk! See the README file there. Note: Because the repository contains backup of source tarballs it is really *big*! So do not clone the repository unless you really need it. If you use some automatic Git clone/checkout you should skip this repository. Note2: The old products like SLE12-SP2 still use the old approach (e.g. YaST:SLE-12:SP2:Travis), these haven't been Dockerized yet.
