[yast-devel] Generic / Repo-specific READMEs at GitHub
by Lukas Ocilka 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

Hi, When Christopher was in Prague, a few of us had a brainstorming about the need of having devel-documentation placed directly in a Yast/libstorage/linuxrc repository. There are no doubts that it's one of the most important parts of projects hosted at GitHub. All their howtos mention "create README[.md]" as the very first step. In fact, we'll have new hires in the team and in such situations, good documentation is one of the most important parts. Good documentation goes from very high level to lower and lower level. We have already summarized that in Yast Team Challenges, but the summary doesn't belong to this document as it's too detailed. That's why I'm putting it here as a WIP item and deleting it from that document: --- cut --- The README should at least describe the steps needed for maintenance (for a person without expert knowledge in the area) including: * What is the project good for - what does it actually do (and how), what it cannot do (unsupported scenarios), limitations * Links to the documentation, high level and low level descriptions (e.g. RFC, wikipedia articles, man pages, project documentation, openSUSE wiki), terminology * How to fetch the source code (if something outside Git is needed it should be mentioned) * What prerequisites are needed to build the sources (external libraries, gems, scripts, …) * How to build the sources (make/rake commands…) * How to setup a testing environment (e.g. iSCSI target for iSCSI client) * How to run the code to test a change (esp. needed for non trivial projects like linuxrc) * How to run automated tests * How to build a package for submission * How to submit the package (if it needs some manual steps) * Troubleshooting (how to solve typical problems) The README should be reasonably short, if some section is too long it should be moved to a separate document (or to GitHub wiki) and linked. --- cut --- The project consists of - Taking a decision where to go - How to get there - Implementing this important documentation Those two who, according to my knowledge, were working on this were Ladislav and Christopher, but there were not the only ones and a pilot project for READMEs has been done a few months ago by Martin. It's still not finished, but moving forward.

[yast-devel] New Mode#auto method
by Imobach González Sosa 27 Aug '15

27 Aug '15

Hi all, Yesterday I added a Mode#auto method which returns true when we're in autoinst or autoupgrade mode. The main reason for adding this new method is that we have many places when we should check for "Mode.autoinst || Mode.autoupgrade" and, sometimes, we forget about the last part (we have found some issues in yast2-kdump module because of that). Take into account that this method is in 'master' only and is not released yet. BTW, I added some tests for the Mode module. Regards, Imo PS: https://github.com/yast/yast-yast2/pull/396 -- Imobach González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE LINUX GmbH

[yast-devel] Three questions about AutoYaST (and kdump)
by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 25 Aug '15

25 Aug '15

During the implementation of support for high and low memory in yast2-kdump[1], I found some AutoYaST things I'd like to understand better. I'm sending the questions to the list so we have an archive of the reply. Chapter 1: workflow Yast::Kdump.Write seems to have (pretty weird) code to support these two scenarios. a) Mode.autoinst && Kdump.Read found a given param in current bootloadr b) Mode.autoinst && (Kdump.Read not called || Kdump.Read found nothing) Since I was curious about the role of Read during autoinst, Imo ran autoinstall and autoupgrade processes for me and we examined the logs. We found no calls to Func=Read for the kdump_auto client, neither in autoinst or autoupgrade. Based on that I assume scenario (a) will never happen. So the question: Is Read actually called during auto(inst/upgrade)? When? Chapter 2: autoinst profile The kdump->crash_kernel used to be a single string and now it can support several values. We simply started to use it with config:type="list" as you can see at [2]. Adapting the Kdump code was really easy. So the question: Do we need to adapt some DTD, validator, reference documentation or something similar to reflect that crash_kernel can now be a list? Cheers.
