[yast-devel] yast2-fonts in openSUSE 15.0
by Petr Gajdos 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Hello gyus, I believe you have all a lot of work currently, however I want to just ensure yast2-fonts will enter 15.0 in some point in the future. Note. I got a community member to cooperate with. I do not want to underestimate him, but certainly not discourage him right at the beginning. I am not sure your procedures are easy enough to follow[1] when someone does not follow it on day-to-day basis, but rather on half-year-to-half-year basis. At least in comparsion to maintaining regular packages it hurts time to time. I know this is something else, rather upstream work. Nevertheless yast2-fonts is rather in maintenance mode and not evolving much currently. So I got an evil idea. Would it be possible to maintain it as another packages outside Yast namespace, i. e. submitting as usual in newer products together with patches for released products. I would find it another home, for example M17N project. Just like an external, community maintained module. I believe it will never enter SLE, at least until there is an internal volunteer for that. I think chances are lost in advance, but worth to try :). Thanks!

[yast-devel] Talks for openSUSE Conference'18 - AutoYaST workshop
by Imobach González Sosa 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Hi all, Knut and me have submitted a proposal about an AutoYaST workshop for the openSUSE Conference '18. We would like to start preparing the workshop as soon as possible, although we do not know whether the proposal is accepted or not yet. We have listed a set of related topic[1] (we won't cover all of them). Obviously, we will need Schubi to help us to prepare the workshop (thanks!) and, if anybody else is interested, we would like to hear their opinions. # Abstract: AutoYaST has been around for a couple of years now, but perhaps it is not well known to part of the openSUSE community. This tool, which allows to perform unattended installations of open(SUSE) systems, is extensively used by SUSE (including customers and partners). Actually, products like SUSE Manager or CaaSP (or Kubic, its Tumbleweed based flavor) take advantage of AutoYaST. During this workshop, attendees will take a tour through the most prominent AutoYaST features, studying (and implementing) some typical use cases. Moreover, they will learn what to do when things go wrong and how to extend and tweak AutoYaST to make it fit their needs. We will spend some time checking recent changes like chrony and firewalld support or the latest improvements regarding to the new YaST storage layer. And, of course, we will have a look at the future of AutoYaST. So if you are interested what AutoYaST can do for you, do not hesitate to join us!

[yast-devel] Talks for openSUSE Conference'18 - storage-ng
by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 13 Mar '18

13 Mar '18

I don't know which YaST-related tasks are planned for the openSUSE Conference 2018 in May. Are we sharing the ideas somewhere? I assume Josef will make his annual presentation about what's new in YaST and I know that Imo and Schubi have an AutoYaST workshop in the oven. I was thinking that the so-called team-S should make a presentation about storage-ng. I drafted the content you can find below. What do you think? Do you agree? Would you change the approach? Did somebody already sent a talk proposal for the conference about storage-ng? Title: YaST: what Storage-ng will bring and what else do YOU want? Abstract: As many openSUSE users may know, two of the most important YaST components, libstorage and yast2-storage, were recently rewritten from scratch in order to ease the maintenance and to be prepared for whatever the future brings. Now we have a solid base to adapt the current behavior without compromising the existing supported scenarios and to implement new and shiny features. During this presentation we will explain the present and the plans for the supported installation scenarios, for the partitioning proposal (a.k.a. Guided Setup) and for our beloved Partitioner. We need help from the openSUSE community to review and refine those plans and to bring new ideas to the table.

[yast-devel] Storage-ng and the eternal prototype
by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 13 Mar '18

13 Mar '18

I know there is a lot of work to do before the SLE15/Leap15 release in storage-ng. We still have to implement several Partitioner features and to fine-tune the boot requirements in several scenarios. But, apart from all that, the release of an SP0 also marks the last point in time in which we implement big/disruptive changes in behavior. That worries me a bit because we have said too many times something like "let's do it like this as first approach and we will refine it later, maybe based on feedback". That "later" never came for several topics and after SP0 it may be too late. So I would like to draw some attention on some of those topics. Of course, not all of them are equally important or equally hard to change post-SP0, but still... About the storage proposal general algorithm - Reusing stuff. We have a card for that https://trello.com/c/Ib7QC298/ - Resizing windows * The current proposal removes the very minimum space from a Windows disk that it needs to fulfill the "desired" space. The old one was way more aggressive, removing something like half of the unused space so we got a bigger openSUSE. * In addition, we need a better fix related to alignment. See https://github.com/yast/yast-storage-ng/pull/475#discussion_r158501347 - Different LVM strategies as documented old_and_new_proposal.md - Selecting which partition to delete next is as simple as selecting the last one in the disk(s), ignoring existing spaces and potentially relevant settings. - When weight is zero, remaining free space is not distributed See card https://trello.com/c/E7Y7vJLH/ About the UI of the Guided Setup - Which and how many disks should we offer. We did set a completely arbitrary limit of 3 at some point and it still there. - The user needs to choose one "root disk". It's not clear what it means from the UI (in the end, it means the disk from which the BIOS/firmware boots and, in some cases, the location for "/"). - Some people has complained because it's less usable than the old system for the scenario in which they want to use a whole disk (the old one had a button for that). - Option about what to do with Windows systems * We display it (disabled) even if there is no Windows at all * NTFS partitions without a Windows installation fall in "others", just like a bios_boot. Is that the expected thing? About the Partitioner - One of the reasons to simplify Guided Setup so much was that the partitioner could have wizards. E.g. you delete/resize all the unwanted partitions manually and then run the proposal from that point (within the partitioner) and you refine the result... But those wizards inside the partitioner has not been even discussed so far. - The old Partitioner did some "smart" things like automatically assigning "swap" as mount point to all the detected swaps. We never discussed whether to bring that back. These are just some random things that we decided to revisit before the release time. Will we do it for any of them?

[yast-devel] YaST: highlights of development sprint 52
by Imobach González Sosa 09 Mar '18

09 Mar '18

After adding many new features and introducing quite some important changes for the upcoming (open)SUSE releases, the YaST team is now going into bug squashing mode. But in the storage layer, the story is slightly different as we continue improving the robutness and bringing back some cool features from the old partitioner. Please, check the details at https://lizards.opensuse.org/2018/03/09/hi ghlights-of-yast-development-sprint-52/ Regards -- Imobach González Sosa YaST team at SUSE LINUX GmbH Blog: https://imobachgs.github.io/ Twitter: @imobachgs
