[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!

D-Installer 0.4.2 released (and submission to Factory status update)
by Imobach Gonzalez Sosa 28 Jul '22

28 Jul '22

Hi all, After releasing D-Installer 0.4.1, we found an issue that we felt should be fixed ASAP. So I am releasing 0.4.2 today. ## Change * Prevent the installation from being blocked when the user changes the language (gh#yast/yast-dinstaller#239 and gh#yast/yast-dinstaller#240). * Add a new service org.opensuse.DInstaller.Language to handle yast2-country related logic. ## Submission to Factory Previous submission requests were declined because YaST:Head:D- Installer is not a devel project for openSUSE:Factory. But before asking for help to build service admins, I wonder if we should move our packages to YaST:Head instead. Regards, Imo -- Imobach González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE LLC https://imobachgs.github.io/

D-Installer 0.4.1 released and submitted to Factory
by Imobach Gonzalez Sosa 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

Hi all, Today we are announcing the release of D-Installer 0.4.1 and its submission to Factory (finally!). If you are brave enough and you would like to give it a try, you can grab the ISO from the YaST:Head:D-Installer project: https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries/YaST:Head:D-Installer/d-install… ## Changes * Adapt the CLI to the new D-Bus status/progress reporting API (gh#yast/d-installer#229). * The software service respond to D-Bus messages during software installation (gh#yast/d-installer#223), so the progress is properly refreshed during installation. * Fix several user interface-related issues (gh#yast/d-installer#230): - Avoid reloading the page when pushing the enter key. - Always display the D-Bus error page when the connection gets broken. Reload the UI again when the D-Bus connection is working again. - Update the product selection page when the product is modified in background (e.g., using the CLI). - Update the first user settings when they are changed in background. - Refresh the storage section when the settings are modified in background. - If the storage proposal fails, display the error even after reloading the page. ## Submission to Factory * rubygem-d-installer: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/991367 * rubygem-d-installer-cli: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/991368 * cockpit-d-installer: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/991369 Best regards, Imo -- Imobach González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE LLC https://imobachgs.github.io/ -- Imobach González Sosa

Hi all, Today we released D-Installer 0.4. This release was focused on improving the architecture and the internals of D-Installer. You can read the relevant stuff in this GitHub issue: https://github.com/yast/d-installer/pull/223 Perhaps we might consider publishing the content of that issue in our blog. What do you think?

Re: ALP WG Meeting minutes - July 5th 2022

This sounds to me like: "Flatpak is just another packaging format.

Most packages in OBS are not using spec files for every code stream, but include macros in one single spec file to build for multiple code streams. But this brings me to two other questions: 10) Is there something like _multibuild support planned for Flatpak? 11) Will there be a tool to convert spec files into Flatpak files? > > How is a migration from RPM to Flatpak expected in this case? > > Afaik there are no plans to support a migration from SLE to ALP. Are there plans to support a migration from openSUSE to ALP? Regards, Lars

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.
