[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.

Talk for openSUSE Conference 2022
by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 04 Jun '22

04 Jun '22

I plan to submit this. Feel free to provide feedback before I do it. Title: Almost two years of YaST News Subtitle: Recent changes and future plans at YaSTland Abstract: YaST, the flagship installer and configuration tool of openSUSE is in constant development. Just as its unattended companion AutoYaST. Although the YaST Team at SUSE tries to communicate progress as often as possible in the YaST Blog, it has been almost two years since we presented the "Top 25 New Features in (Auto)YaST" at openSUSE Conference 2020. So it's time for another live update! We will recap the main changes and new features that are already integrated into openSUSE Tumbleweed and that will be included at openSUSE Leap 15.4, to be released just a couple of days after the talk. We will also take a look to some ideas for future development... and we really need the feedback of the whole openSUSE community for that. So please join us and speak up! -- Ancor González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE Software Solutions

How to localize pattern description in SLES 15 SP3
by Gaurav Kumar 20 Apr '22

20 Apr '22

Hello Team, In SLES 15 SP3, how are the patterns and package descriptions translated? Until SLES 12 SP5, we were modifying the package package-translations by merging the po files for a translated language and creating the package-translations-$lang.mo files In SLES 15 SP3, I tried to do the same, merging all po files for a translated language and creating the package-translations-$lang.mo files. Now in SLES 15 SP3 during installation, if I change the language I am not getting the translated description for the patterns. I would really appreciate it if you could help us understand how to localize our patterns and package descriptions. Regards, Gaurav.

Global YaST template for pull requests
by Ladislav Slezák 21 Mar '22

21 Mar '22

Hello! For some time we used a template for pull requests in the yast-storage-ng repository, it turned out to be useful so we decided to use it for all YaST repositories as a reminder to write good descriptions in the pull requests. The template is now shared for all repositories under the "yast" GitHub organization and is defined in the ".github" repository [1]. This is the default file but if you for whatever reason need a different template for a specific repository then just define it there, the local file will override the global one. See more details in the GitHub documentation [2]. If you want to improve the template then feel free to open a pull request for it. :-) [1] https://github.com/yast/.github/blob/master/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md [2] https://docs.github.com/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-… -- Ladislav Slezák YaST Developer SUSE LINUX, s.r.o.

New networking related tools for my backpack
by Michal Filka 21 Mar '22

21 Mar '22

Hi, because of my problems with ISP yesterday I got a bit angry at them because it was not first time when they messed configuration on their AP I'm connecting to. So, as the first I searched what can be used for monitoring my network and then gave a try to vnstat I haven't use before (ok that is not that new thing, but I simply haven't used that up to now because of ntop, netstat, ... so many tools in the area ;-) What vnstat does is that is collects traffic information for you via a service reading /sys. You can then export some statistics for various periods. * https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/vnstat-command-in-linux-with-examples/ * I also learned about "ip -o -t monitor" which is way easier to use than checking logs and/or tcpdump when having connection issues and then I was searching for some information about testing, monitoring, maintaining networks. I came across archive of NANOG talks. I really don't know if it is interesting for any of yast developers and I didn't make to go through everything I wanted yet but this caught my eyes so far * using open source tools to validate network configuration (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9hZiW66jw4) * a practical guide to (Correctly) troubleshooting with traceroute (https://archive.nanog.org/meetings/nanog45/presentations/Sunday/RAS_tracero…) btw for my next study & learn period I planned to find out what's new in network emulation area. I'll probably take this https://www.networkstraining.com/network-simulation-software-tools/ as a start point. Michal

Fwd: Planning decomission of software.opensuse.org (Community meeting)
by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 18 Mar '22

18 Mar '22

Forwarding this here since this certainly have an effect on how people install software in their openSUSE systems. It may also imply the usage of OneClick Installer would decay. Can we be part of any kind of alternative solution? Maybe a generalization of this: https://yast.opensuse.org/blog/2020-02-07/sprint-93#the-online-search-featu… Cheers. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Planning decomission of software.opensuse.org (Community meeting) Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2022 21:05:14 +0000 From: Lubos Kocman <lubos.kocman(a)suse.com> Reply-To: Lubos Kocman <lubos.kocman(a)suse.com> To: factory(a)lists.opensuse.org <factory(a)lists.opensuse.org> CC: karatekhd(a)opensuse.org <karatekhd(a)opensuse.org> Hello openSUSE! One of the outcomes of today's *community meeting was that we need to decomission the current *software.opensuse.org code-base, as we can't find volunteers to maintain it nor develop it any further. The current code-base and its deployment is tied to ruby25 which makes appliacations of security fixes for currently used rubygems almost inpossible. Our social platforms (forums-o-o, discord, etc) show many cases where incorrect usage of the service leads to Leap systems being partially migrated to Tumbleweed, or you end up with Tumbleweed which has enabled a lot of invalid repos. The situation is not going likely to improve without care any time soon. At the meeting we agreed that decomission of the service is needed, and that there is still a need to provide functionality that allows people to search for and install software which is not part of their install, and/or to search for version numbering or the status of the NEXT/devel project(s). There was already a *brainstorm about the services' future, but there was not much progress in that direction. I really hope that this can ignite some constructive discussions that could help us to develop a replacement for the current service. As suggesed in the meeting minutes there are upcoming opportunities that we could make use such as gsoc, outreachy, hackweek. We should not try to make this a ruby vs python vs node fight, but instead try to find a sustainable solution to keep the service running for the next decade. [0] https://github.com/openSUSE/software-o-o [1] https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/weeklymeeting20220317 [2] https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/softwareworkshop Thank you very much in advance ps. There is no particular date for decomission yet, but it's coming.
