[yast-devel] YaST team minutes digest. Tue, Sept 9.
Minutes ====== Weekly digest of minutes will be posted to yast-devel and factory for public consumption. 10.3 === Bugzilla looking better. Waiting for Beta3 PackageKit ======== http://www.packagekit.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page PackageKit is in FATE and deserves research and that people is informed. jkress, tgoetlicher, and ma will inform themselves and do some research about it and inform the others. Blocker #307047 (SP4) ================= Discussion about sp4 sles9 out of memory bug assigned to gs. Hardware problem? kernel? frishen installation, Machine should be memtested?. zypper: ^^^^^^ Final (hopefully) solution for the yes/no prompt localization found: use glibc's rpmatch() (see man rpmatch) to parse the answer, and mark the whole "Yes" and "No" strings normally for translation (if needed). Bug #304650. NTP: ^^^ Reimplementation of feature #302192 (synchronization with NTP server in 1st stage of installation). Now using 2 new installation clients to set up and save configuration. Related bugs: #299238,#299557, #302389, #302433 #307363 (not fixed yet) setenv(): ^^^^^^^^^ - new builtin in yast2-core for add or change evnironment variables To be used by curl (dowloading repository list) if user needs to configure proxy in 1st stage. Related bug: #305163 pkg-bindings: ^^^^^^^^^^^^ - Media redirection has been implemented. It's possible to redirect the installation repository to a mirror in case of error (unreachable server) (bug #294481) - Zypp SQlite cache is now copied at the end of the first stage to the target system, no need to download/parse metadata again. (bug #304310) - y2base may be killed by oom killer during the 1st stage of installation because of oversized y2log. There were some fixes in pkg-bindings and solver to reduce amount of logs, mostly coming from libzypp. See also: http://lists.opensuse.org/zypp-devel/2007-08/msg00068.html and related bugs: #305087, #305083 - Y2log doesn't contain libzypp debug log messages anymore (can be turned on by enabling yast debug - SHIFT + F7) (bug #306458). - SUSEregister should not start the package manager if it's not needed (bug #304310). - Available kernel package was selected using Pkg::IsAvailable() call which checks for 'provides' tag (not package name), the problem is that e.g. 'kernel-smp' is provided by 'kernel-default' (so it's available) but there is no RPM package 'kernel-smp', so it couldn't be installed (bug #302246). udev: ^^^^^ - autoyast support for udev rules and backward compatibility with ol-style autoyast profiles #303916 if old-style configuration names are found, udev rules are created and files are automatically renamed by sysconfig. For new-style configuration there is possible to define rules for udev in networking section: <networking> ... <net-udev config:type="list"> <line> <rule>ATTR{address}</rule> <value>00:00:00:00:00:00</value> <name>eth0</name> </line> </net-udev> ... </networking> Misc: ^^^^ - support for changing URL through requestMedia callback reimplemented in libzypp and YaST - now displaying repository name instead of product name both in qt and ncurses packager. Related bug: #296782 - One-Click Installation (yast2-metapackage-handler) now has MIME associations for Firefox (#295677) - OES2 configuration - solved problem with changing language (localization) Related bug: #295160 - The bluetooth subsystem is enabled by default (bug 299734) - A better busy indicator for progress popup (animated icon) (bug #296945) - Due to excessive logging, the installation or distro upgrade can run out of memory, #305083 - detection, package installation and configuration of smartlinks modems, #284287 - solved problem with copying rsa and dsa keys - XMessage is displayed only if YaST is crashed -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
