[yast-devel] Overcommit - automatic checks via Git hooks
by Ladislav Slezak 21 Dec '22

21 Dec '22

Hi, I found a quite interesting tool called Overcommit [1]. It provides an easy way for setting up Git commit hooks and provides some basic checking plugins. The nice feature of the Git commit hooks is that you can run some checks automatically and early in the development. For example with the commit hooks you can run Rubocop check automatically whenever a commit is created. And if the check fails the commit is not created. I can see "make Rubocop happy" commits quite often (happens to me as well), with Overcommit you can easily avoid that. I have tried several Overcommit checks: - Rubocop - runs Rubocop at "commit" - Rspec - runs the tests before "push" - Branch blacklist - can forbid direct commits to configured branches, e.g. "master" (forces using pull requests, avoids commits to master my mistake) - Commit message spellcheck - warns when there is a possible typo Check my blog post [2] for the details, esp. watch the recorded screencast where I wanted to show some mistakes which it can catch. The tool looks promising, I'll try using it for some time. If you want to try it as well check the blog post for the installation steps. Enjoy!

[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] New package yast2-usbauth for Factory/Tumbleweed
by Stefan Koch 07 Feb '19

07 Feb '19

Hi, please add the new YaST package yast2-usbauth from https://github.com/kochstefan/yast-usbauth or https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:kochstefan/yast2-usbauth to openSUSE Tumbleweed. This work was initially created for SUSE in 2015. Part of it was the USB interface authorization for the Linux kernel. It's contained in Linux since kernel version 4.4. The packages libusbauth-configparser, usbauth and usbauth-notifier are already part of openSUSE Tumbleweed. packages from the usbauth development: - libusbauth-configparser is a library that is used to parse the usbauth config file. - usbauth is a firewall against BadUSB attacks. It allows/denies USB interfaces using a config file. The needed USB interface authorization is part of Linux 4.4 and newer. - usbauth-notifier is a graphical notifier for user interaction to allow or deny USB devices. - yast2-usbauth: is a YaST module to edit the usbauth configuration file Thank you. Best regards Stefan Koch -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] Why are package selection tabs virtually invisible?
by Felix Miata 03 Apr '18

03 Apr '18

15.0-182.1 ATM has View, Search, Patterns, and Installation Summary tabs. Why are only two at a time fully visible unless a hidden one is hovered? And, why is the text not black instead of dark gray? Who benefits from the eyestrain caused by low contrast? Is partitioning supposed to follow package selection now, or is it being entirely skipped in 182.1? I aborted last night, but it's doing the same thing now. The overall installation process was much better when "Installation Summary" was available much sooner, and locale and time came before package selection. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

Greetings, My name is Harry Pantazis, I'm a CS student from Greece. I have various coding and system administration experiences. I've participated in GSoC again last year [2]. My github is not as full as I'd like it to be. Currently, these past months I've been freelancing as a Python dev and sysadmin, in the past I worked for Nokia as a SWE intern but offfices are not really appealing to me. I'm a member of hackerspace.gr and I think that's my greatest achievement. [1] github.com/luserx0 [2] luserx0.me [3] peopleperhour.com/freelancer/harry/software-developer-and-sysadmin/1914128 Is the project still on the table? If so, could you pinpoint me to further resources? Would you like me to pass a test before submitting my proposal draft?

Nothing that comes to my mind. Products based on SLE15 will have a huge flexibility defining which partitions should be proposed by the installer[1]. But products based on SLE12SPX are limited to the usual separate /home. CCing yast-devel ML in case somebody can think on a way to achieve what you want in a system without storage-ng. Cheers.

[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!

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

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?
