[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] Reminder: verify_partial_doubles is not default
by Josef Reidinger 03 Dec '20

03 Dec '20

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] YaST at the openSUSE Summit Dublin
by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 07 Feb '20

07 Feb '20

Douglas DeMaio asked if me or any other YaST developer was planning to give a talk at openSUSE Summit Dublin[1]. I have to admit that was out of my radar. That summit is a small event that takes place right after SUSECON[2] in the same location, reusing part of its infrastructure. So it sounds like a nice place to meet people who are both openSUSE enthusiasts and SUSE customers. To be honest, YaST had almost not presence In the latest openSUSE Conference and that felt pretty wrong. Imo and me tried to fix that with some lighting talks but, although they were well received locally, there is no online record of those. I'm not sure whether I will be personally able to attend, but I think that at least one member of the YaST Team should be there presenting all the new stuff that debuted in 15.1 (we can extend my lighting talk about it) or what we are working on. Being visible is one of our strategies, after all. Cheers.

[yast-devel] Refactoring areas and/or modules with several bugs
by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 07 Jan '20

07 Jan '20

I've gone through the full list of bugs assigned to the YaST Team or some of its members with the intention of closing obsolete stuff that are not real issues anymore. In the process I found out there are some YaST modules or areas that have quite some open bugs. Some of them are modules that never receive attention (no-man shows, as HuHa likes to call them). Localization bugs (mainly problems with non-latin languages): 22 open bugs dns-server && dhcp-server (they are so related that even share bugs): 20 open bugs, aprox. NTP: 13 open bugs Bootloader: 20 open bugs, aprox. NFS: 12 open bugs, I already plan to focus the firepower of the storage squad here for the following sprint(s). Storage: 30 open bugs, aprox. but they are under control ;-) Network: hard to say, at least 50. If reducing the number of bugs is a goal, I think it would be worth to create small groups of 2-3 developers to focus on a given module for a month or two. That would be enough time to gather the knowledge about the topic and refactor the most important parts (those modules are usually not that big). In some cases, that can mean up to 20 bugs solved and a more sane codebase (plus some refreshed knowledge) for the future. Let's assume two small refactoring squads (2-3 people each) working in parallel. I think that, for example, DNS+DHCP+NFS+NTP could all be brought into shape in less than two months. That would be around 45 fewer bug reports. What do you think? Cheers PS.- Network is, of course, a completely different story. I hope we can close many bugs as obsolete in something like two years from now, when network-ng would had already replaced the current implementation. -- Ancor González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE Linux GmbH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] Building and submitting UI packages
by Stefan Hundhammer 19 Dec '19

19 Dec '19

The Problem of the Day ====================== In the last few days we were reviewing and merging Rodion's changes to the libyui packages for the REST API and better testability. The Recurring Problem ===================== We found out (again) that it's a very painful and error-prone process to get a green build from Travis and to submit all those libyui packages; the library SO version had to be bumped from 10 to 11 to ensure binary compatibility, so Rodion had to touch every single one of all those libyui packages and create pull requests for each one: - libyui - libyui-rest-api - libyui-qt - libyui-qt-rest-api - libyui-qt-pkg - libyui-graph - libyui-ncurses - libyui-ncurses-rest-api - libyui-ncurses-pkg ...and later even the externally maintained ones: - libyui-gtk - libyui-gtk-pkg - ... (?) The Annoyance ============= This is error-prone and tedious; there were build problems in the in-between stages all the time, and they are not easy to resolve, and we had one pretty unhappy Dimstar who saw failing things all around him. Only for the very first of those PRs there is a realistic chance for a green Travis build; for all subsequent ones, there is only the (now outdated) docker image that also includes those libyui packages. That image needs to be rebuilt, but that fails because now there is a libyui with a higher SO number, but no matching libyui-something packages. The Pragmatic Brute-Force Fix ============================= So the only way out is to brute-force merge despite red Travis and hope for the best. And to do this a couple of times until it gets green in Jenkins and in OBS. This is a mess. There must be a better way; a way without very unhappy release managers that are confronted with half-ready UI stuff that breaks all kinds of other packages. The Future ========== So, what can we do? Is it really a wise idea to have all those UI packages fragmented into so many different source repositories? Unify the Fragments? ===================== Would it be better to have one large libyui repo that contains the base libyui, and also most of the others (except libyui-gtk* ?) and create all the binary packages that we have now from that single source repo? That would give us a chance to do atomic changes; a transaction with a well-defined "before" and "after" state and no in-between mess. We'd have ONE pull request for all the different subpackages. We could review that as a whole and not get into a PR frenzy when things need to happen quickly to avoid undefined in-between states. Of course we could still work separately in the different UI parts (Qt, NCurses) with different people. We could still do PRs for those parts separately if we want to. But we could (and should) have one central place where things like the UI so number is defined. Not sure, but maybe we should also have one single consistent package version number for all the subpackages (libyui, libyui-qt, libyui-ncurses, ...). What do you think? Does anybody have a better idea? Or is there some killer argument against this?

[yast-devel] YaST: highlights of development sprint 91
by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 18 Dec '19

18 Dec '19

The YaST Team is about to enter hibernation mode for a couple of weeks. But before that, let’s take a look to the most important features and bugfixes we implemented in the last sprint of 2019. That includes: - bringing back to life some sections of the Software Manager, - implementing system upgrade with the new SLE media types, - making the installation in Raspberry Pi and IBM Z System even better, - improving usability of encryption, - reducing the footprint of the Snapper plugin for ZYpp, - and, as always, many other small improvements and fixes. Check the whole report at: https://lizards.opensuse.org/2019/12/18/yast-sprint-91/ Cheers -- Ancor González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE Linux GmbH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] Tool to count LOC
by Josef Reidinger 18 Dec '19

18 Dec '19

Hi guys, I just would like to inform you about interesting tool. Today I want to answer some email about yast and need to know what is current state of LOC of YaST. So I do a bit search as output of find and wc -l was not enough for me. And found interesting tool cloc[1]. I install it with npm method with `sudo npm install -g cloc`. And how looks output now for yast (my own checkout without snapper, libstorage-ng and some others)? like this ( sorry for broken formating, but email are not perfect for ascii output ).
