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] Debugging Travis - SSH Access

by Ladislav Slezak

Hi all, Travis now supports debugging builds where it enables SSH access to the running VM: https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/running-build-in-debug-mode Unfortunately, for security reasons this is not available for public repositories. And public forks cannot be simply changed to private ones... :-/ So there is a bit complicated way, you need to create a new empty repository and mirror the content from the target repository there: https://help.github.com/en/github/creating-cloning-and-archiving-repositori… Note: for accessing the private repositories at Travis you need to use the https://travis-ci.com URL, the https://travis-ci.org only displays the public GitHub repositories. When you start a debug build the VM prints the SSH command for accessing it. It does not start the build, you can do that via SSH or you can inspect the environment before running the tests... The session is running for some limited time (maybe 20 minutes? I have not measured that, but it is quite long). After a timeout the job is aborted. If you still need it you can restart the build again, just maybe you will need to repeat some steps again, just be prepared for that. HTH -- Ladislav Slezák YaST Developer SUSE LINUX, s.r.o.

[yast-devel] Expert Partioner: Leap 15.3 and beyond

by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa

The interface of the YaST Partitioner has reached a point in which is really hard to deal with it. We need to find a way to move forward. As a first step, we have created this document that explains the problem and we hope it can be used as a base to discuss the future of the Partitioner interface. https://github.com/yast/yast-storage-ng/blob/master/doc/partitioner_ui.md This is a very important topic for the future of YaST. All ideas are welcome. Feel free to reply to this mail, to create pull requests for the document, to discuss the topic at #yast channel at Freenode... whatever works for you. 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] Branching SLE-15-SP2 today at 16:00 CEST (14:00 UTC)

by Ladislav Slezak

Hello! Today I'll create the SLE-15-SP2 maintenance branch from master for all YaST and libyui packages. I'll start around 16:00 CEST (14:00 UTC). Because there are so many packages it will take some time, I'll let you know when it's done. So if you still have some pull requests for the SP2 open then merge them ASAP, or change the target branch after the SP2 branch is created. -- Ladislav Slezák YaST Developer SUSE LINUX, s.r.o.

[yast-devel] Upcoming changes in AppArmor aa-status output

by Christian Boltz

Hello, AFAIK the YaST AppArmor module uses the JSON output of aa-status. There are two upcoming changes, and I'd like to point them out so that you can adjust the YaST AppArmor module if needed. a) new profile modes Besides complain and enforce mode, future AppArmor versions (>= 3.0) will also have `unconfined`, `mixed` and `kill`. Technically the structure of the JSON doesn't change, but there will be new values for the status, for example "processes": { "/usr/lib/GConf/2/gconfd-2": [ { "pid": "3899", "profile": "/usr/lib/GConf/2/gconfd-2", "status": "kill" } ] } "profiles": { "/does/not/exist": "kill" } Side question: Do you think this warrants increasing the JSON version number? Quick explanation about the new modes: - unconfined: similar to not having a profile, but when using an unconfined profile, it's possible to replace it with a "real" profile later, so that programs initially running under an unconfined profile get a profile in enforce mode - kill: similar to enforce, but on profile violations, the process will be killed instead of "just" getting EPERM - mixed: when using stacked profiles, this indicates that a program is for example using a stack of two profiles, one in complain and one in enforce mode. (This also means you'll see "mixed" only in aa-status output, but never in a profile's "flags=(...)".) (Extending the aa-* tools to support switching to kill and unconfined mode is still on my TODO list.) b) whitespace changes aa-status was rewritten to C, which results in changed whitespace in the --json output. Currently --pretty-json also results in "compressed" JSON, but I hope that this will change again in the future. I'd guess/hope that whitespace changes shouldn't matter, but please check nevertheless. Currently the new aa-status is only available in upstream git master. If it makes testing easier for you, I can provide the compiled binary or some example output.

[yast-devel] Modernizing AutoYaST blog post

by Imobach Gonzalez Sosa

Hi all, We have just published a blog post summarizing some of the ideas related to the "modernizing AutoYaST" initiative. https://yast.opensuse.org/blog/2020-04-30/modernizing-autoyast Not all ideas are there and it is possible that some of them never get implemented. But it is a nice picture of the options we are considering right now. Regards, Imo -- Imobach González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE LLC https://imobachgs.github.io/

[yast-devel] Meeting about changes to xml schema

by josef Reidinger

Hi, after modifying xml parser, it appears that our relax ng schema is too strict to allow having type for every xml element. So we should discuss possible solutions. One of solution is to modify our schema to optionally allow that types. I prepare schema change for installation control ( while change for autoyast schema will be needed to do ) and also show example how looks autoyast profile when exported by modified xml parser[1]. If you like typed languages I am sure you will like new xml more then previous :) If not, it still allows to not specify string and map type, just autoyast exported will add it everywhere to handle also empty strings and hashes ( which need it always ).

That's right as there's no "disksize" data-type. We have also discussed that we should then modify our control.xml stored on disk during RPM-post-script (which is the right way as `zypper dup` is supported too). But I have a question: what happens in customers' AY profiles actually contain these "disksize" types? Are they going to be invalid? Should we replace/remove them when loading the profile first? I'd like to be careful here, because what used to be valid for ages now turns into invalid because of our internal change. That doesn't sound right even if our intentions were crystal clear.
