[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!

Modified installation progress
by josef Reidinger 06 Jul '22

06 Jul '22

Challenge: ---------- Libzypp supports parallel download and install. Yast installation progress does not fit it at all [1]. Issues are secondary progress bar that does not work with parallel installation. Also there are overwhelming amount of information on screen that is quite distracting. That information is often wrong like time estimation. And also table for media is a bit useless nowadays as everything is on one iso/medium, so there is no need to see when cd switch will be needed. The details tab are the most visible as it is default one. Proposal: --------- Remove completely that details tab and keep just release notes one[2]. It contains release notes that contain useful information and also has just one progress bar. For that bar remove keep always just remaining size and count of packages, so user has idea how it does, but do not print what exactly is installing or any time estimation. If there are more release notes allow to switch between them. Also keep possibility to have slide show which we had in past for installation if someone create some ( when checked other OSes, the Ubuntu slide show during installation looks probably the best from user POV ). The same changes will apply to ncurses front end[3], we just need to check why formatting of release notes are so badly formatted. And same for opensuse[4] of course.

[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.

Installer Slideshow meeting
by Imobach Gonzalez Sosa 07 Dec '21

07 Dec '21

Hi all, Lately, we have been discussing what information YaST should display while installing the system[1]. After considering everything and asking for help from our UX experts, we have decided to start with a minimalistic approach. The idea is to show only the progress bar (with a description, of course, of the current step). So no slideshow, no release notes, no tabs, etc. Additionally, we are integrating the steps in the final screen into the progress bar. Once we have feedback from our users, we can think about extending the solution to display additional info. ## Notes However, we had a nice discussion before reaching that conclusion. So I am sharing a few notes from the meeting. * Release notes: + Do our users read the release notes during installation? + An add-on can have release notes, so YaST uses tabs to display all the release notes (base product and add-ons). + Release notes are available at other points of the installation through a button. So we do not need to show them while installing packages. * The slideshow: + We could get good quality content from https://suse-projects.github.io/ to build a slideshow. + That content will be updated regularly by the marketing team. + Using the content during installation is not that straightforward. For instance, in many environments, the system under installation cannot access the Internet. + Additionally, we need to consider other stuff like screenshots, translations, and so on. * Tabs & buttons: + We use tabs to show the slideshow and the release notes. It feels like mixing different stuff. What about using another mechanism to display release notes? + Displaying the release notes in a pop-up window will not work because the installer will not update the progress bar until the pop-up is closed. It is a known limitation we need to deal with.
