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: highlights from the latest two months (with D-Installer bonus)
by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 23 Feb '22

23 Feb '22

We realized that, apart from the blog post presenting our D-Installer project, we have not reported any YaST activity during 2022 in our blog. We fixed the issue at https://yast.opensuse.org/blog/2022-02-23/start-2022 It includes some early D-Installer mock-ups and many news about YaST, including: - Improvements the activation of encrypted devices. - Better integration of NFS management in the Partitioner. - Usability and speed enhancements for DASD formatting. - Support for GRUB2 password protection in AutoYaST. - Better handling of the errors found analyzing storage devices. - Adapted the keyboard layouts used by YaST. - Support for selecting the desired Linux Security Module. - Improvements in how the _netdev mount option is handled. - Adapted YaST to be compliant with the inclusive naming initiative. - Definition of specific per-product schemas for AutoYaST. - Integration of the package yast2-firstboot-wsl into yast2-firstboot. - Adjusted creation of snapshots for transactional systems. - Capability for roles and products to specify boot-loader timeout. - Support for switching themes. - Adapted handling of network configuration with iBFT. Enjoy! -- Ancor González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE Linux GmbH

Parsing and processing Ruby files
by Ladislav Slezák 17 Feb '22

17 Feb '22

Hello! Some time ago we found out that Ruby 3.0/3.1 handles the keyword method arguments a bit differently than Ruby 2.5. See more details in https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1195226#c4. We fixed one place but the question was whether some other code was also affected. I wrote a simple script which parses Ruby files and tries to find the non-matching method calls. The script [1] is simple and can only find mismatching static methods (it does not track the variable content) and still might report some false positives. But it did not found any other problematic place (just some false positives). I'm announcing this just for your future reference. In most cases using plain "grep" or "ack" is enough for searching in the YaST Ruby sources. But if you ever need to do something non-trivial where simple "grep" is not enough (or the regexp would be too complicated) then an example script might be handy. Technical details: It uses the "rubocop-ast" library which was extracted from Rubocop and provides nice functions for parsing and processing Ruby files. Enjoy! :) Ladislav [1] https://github.com/yast/helper_scripts/blob/master/ruby/scan_kwoptargs/scan… -- Ladislav Slezák YaST Developer SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. Corso IIa Křižíkova 148/34 18600 Praha 8

16 Feb '22

As you all surely know, openSUSE 2022 is taking place in its usual location of Z-Bau. We should make sure there is some YaST related content. Call for papers is open until April 14th. https://events.opensuse.org/conferences/oSC22 Beware it collides with Rock im Park, which may impact the accommodation availability if you are planning to travel there. Cheers. -- Ancor González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE Software Solutions

Ruby 3.1 in openSUSE Factory/Tumbleweed
by Ladislav Slezák 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

Hello! JFYI Ruby has been updated from version 3.0 to 3.1 in openSUSE Factory and Tumbleweed. I already updated the Docker images we use in CI in GitHub Actions. Hopefully there should not be much (if any) problems with that, we already supported 3.0 and there should not be much changes in 3.1. But if you suddenly see a strange crash or error in Factory/TW take into the account the Ruby update... Ladislav -- Ladislav Slezák YaST Developer SUSE LINUX, s.r.o.
