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] Reminder: verify_partial_doubles is not default

by Josef Reidinger

Hi, again I hit by thinking that verify_partial_doubles is now default in rspec3. It is not and will be in rspec4. So what it means? rspec does not check if mocked methods exists at all and it can result in many not so funny errors in test suite. I am just faced it in network, so I create non trivial commit[1] that enables it there. It includes also how to avoid failures on mocked class[2] which avoided build dependencies. From list of errors it can check is typos[3], mocking of wrong class[4] and mocking non-existing methods[5]. So feel free to take it as inspiration and enable it also in your test helper.

[yast-devel] How deal with modules executed without enough permissions?

by David Díaz

Hi there! Today, while I was working to fix an issue when executing "yast2 system_settings" without enough permissions[1][2], some questions arose to my mind. Let me share them, * If I run "/usr/sbin/yast2" it warns about the permissions and only shows a few modules[3]. So, * Can we manage [1] and [2] in a "centralized" way? I mean, do we have a way to know in advance when the execution of a certain module will require root permissions? If the answer is NO, * Can we open a discussion/research/whatever to do something to this regard? Do you think it worth it? Or do you already had such discussions in the past? If so, what was the conclusion? Apart from these questions, a little bit off-topic but also related to the topic, I found weird that "yast2 storage" prompt a warning[4] saying > The storage subsystem is locked by an unknown application. > You must quit that application before you can continue. > > Would you like to abort or try again? when it is executed as a normal user. Actually is a problem with permissions, not an "unknown application locking the storage subsystem". Waiting for your inputs, thanks in advance. See you.

[yast-devel] No way to display unneeded/orphan packages after Package Groups were removed from YaST

by Andrei Borzenkov

Orphaned/unneeded and some other package classes were integrated in Package Groups view (I understand as sort of "meta-groups"). In current TW (I have now 20191112) there is no more Package Groups - no way to display this information anywhere else. Was it really intentional? This was useful functionality. ... there seems to be Repositories - @System - "Unmaintained Packages"; this list looks like what was called orphaned packages in the past. Is it correct and it is where orphans are shown now? Still am not sure whether there is something like "unneeded". -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] Default config in /usr/etc vs. YaST

by Andrei Borzenkov

I wonder was it coordinated with YaST? The first fallout is YaST Users and Security modules which now default to DES password encryption due to missing /etc/login.defs. I am not even sure what the right semantic should be, given that users now can create multiple files each containing single parameter so anything done via YaST is not guaranteed to actually have any effect. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1155735 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org
