D-Installer is now Agama
by Imobach Gonzalez Sosa 31 Mar '23

31 Mar '23

Hi all, It is not a secret that "D-Installer" was not the most loved name for the project. So after some discussions (and a previous failed attempt to find a better name), we have decided to rename the project to "Agama"[1]. As a consequence, D-Installer 0.8[2] was the last release with the old name. Yesterday, we released Agama 1 which is, basically, D-Installer 0.8 with small changes (and potential bugs) introduced by the renaming. Here you are some relevant links: * Repository: https://… [View More]

Removed images from Docker Hub, no CI for SLE12
by Ladislav Slezák 25 Mar '23

25 Mar '23

Hi all, Docker hub is removing the "Free Team" plan, they will only have paid team subscriptions (the lowest is $25 for 5 users/month, = $300/year), see [1]. Because we now build the CI images in OBS we do not need it anymore. So I completely removed the "yastdevel" and "libyui" organizations including all images. They would delete them in a month anyway. The only drawback is that those images were used in the SLE-12 and SLE15-GA + SLE15-SP1 builds. But we still use Travis CI in those … [View More]

New development server configuration for the D-Installer web frontend
by Ladislav Slezák 17 Mar '23

17 Mar '23

Hi all, I finally merged my PR [1] which improves the development server for the D-Installer frontend. It completely changed how it works. Now the dev server serves the D-Installer Cockpit plugin and the Hot Module Replacement end point. It redirects all Cockpit requests to another server, it works like a proxy. To start the dev server use this command: COCKPIT_TARGET=<IP_or_HOSTNAME> npm run server Where COCKPIT_TARGET is the IP address or hostname of the running D-Installer … [View More]

The Documentation for Creating a new Maintenance Branch in Git
by Ladislav Slezák 13 Mar '23

13 Mar '23

Hi, recently I have created the SLE-15-SP5 branch in all relevant YaST repositories. The process is not trivial, it needs quite a lot of manual steps to prepare the infrastructure (OBS/IBS/Jenkins/GitHub Actions). Then you need to fine tune a script which does the actual branching in 100+ Git repositories. This time I carefully recorded my steps and created a documentation. And I also uploaded my branching script to GitHub. See https://github.com/yast/helper_scripts/tree/master/github/… [View More]

GitHub starts requiring 2FA
by Ladislav Slezák 13 Mar '23

13 Mar '23

Hi, this is JFYI: today GitHub starts requiring two-factor authentication (2FA) for the developer accounts. The developer's accounts are quite often used for attacks, with this move they want to make GitHub more safe and reliable. The requirement will be gradual, they will add the requirement is groups. The target date is end of 2023, when 2FA will be mandatory for all developers. That means there is no specific date when your account will be migrated to 2FA, just be prepared for that. Of … [View More]

SLE15-SP5 branching on Friday March 3
by Ladislav Slezák 03 Mar '23

03 Mar '23

Hi all! We will create the SLE-15-SP5 maintenance branch from the master branch for all YaST packages on Friday March 3. I'll start around 15:00 CET (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 open pull requests for the current SP5 then merge them ASAP or change the target branch in the PR after the SP5 branch is created and possibly also merge the change to master as well. -- Ladislav Slezák YaST … [View More]
