Absent: mzugec
Minutes: juhliarik
New branches (mvidner):
----------------------
- Martin plans to create branches (SP3, 11.1) in the yast and zypp repositores
as soon as RC1 is announced.
zypper/libzypp:
--------------
- PoolQuery::setVersion() has been added to be able to search by version
(and to be able to support all that was supported in the old zypp locks)
(jkupec)
- zypper now sets the new 'ignoreAlreadyRecommended' solver flag - false
for dist-upgrade and a new 'install-new-recommends' command, true for
all other commands. This solves the problem of "'zypper in foo', foo not
found, but i will install a bunch of other packages if you want" :O)
(jkupec bnc #389694)
- simple "(X/Y)" for "installing Xth of Y packages" counter added to zypper's
output (jkupec bnc #240588)
- added convertor for converting old locks to new (jreidinger)
- there is a problem with time consuming searching of locks if a lock contains
an unknown attribute (the query ignores such attributes and can return a lot
more packages than intened). We need to find a way how to at least log such
cases, currently we are not able to tell whether the attribute is known or
not. (jreidinger)
Add-On Creator (jsuchome):
-------------------------
- enable reading patterns if they are stored in one file (bnc#393515)
- updated to support latest version of pattern metadata
- added sysconfig variables to handle compressing the metadata
Misc:
-----
- In 2nd stage without automatic configuration, internet test couldn't be
performed as no URL for downloading release notes has been defined. A new
function has been added to Product module (Product::ReadProduct) to read
available product and its attributes on the installed system and in 2nd
stage, which is now used in YCP script testing internet connection.
(kmachalkova - bnc #390738)
- With libyui and ncurses, it is not possible to create dialogs beforehand on
the stack and open/close them only when needed. It may result in the
situation where topmost dialog cannot be closed at all. Thus, any pop-up
dialog should be created on demand only. (kmachalkova - bnc #384368)
- Creating backup of /etc/pam.d/ during upgrade to openSUSE 11.0 (locilka -
bnc #393066)
- Currently impossible to build YaST documentation for openSUSE 11.0 due
to several package-splits, and moved or renamed docu-files. (locilka, mvidner)
- locking packages for PPC64 (lslezak - bnc #336678)
- The product creator doesn't support more pattern definitions in one file.
Will be fixed after 11.0.(lslezak)
- OES2 + SP2 doesn't work (mvidner)
- solved problem with editing boot section for lilo (juhliarik)
- Image Creator (part of yast2-product-creator) is updated. it supports
current version of kiwi e.g. added support for profiles (jsuchome)
