devel:languages:perl has 2662 packages, but many of them are outdated because it's just a fight no man can win to update them. So we update them whenver we hit a problem. But this is evil:
I count 2662 packages in devel:languages:perl and 1188 of them are outdated. So I'll write a script... just as we did with gems

Create object oriented API for perl's YAML::XS module, with YAML 1.2 Support by tinita
Description
YAML::XS is a binding to libyaml and already quite old, but the most popular YAML module for perl. There are two main issues:
- It uses global package variables to influence behaviour.
- It didn't implement the loading of types like numbers and booleans according to the YAML spec (neither 1.1 nor 1.2).
Goals
Create a new interface which works object oriented. Currently YAML::XS exports a list of functions.
- The new API will allow to create a YAML::XS object containing configuration influencing the behaviour of loading and dumping.
- It keeps the libyaml parser and emitter structs in memory, so repeated calls can save the creation of those structs
- It will by default implement the YAML 1.2 Core Schema, so it is compatible to other YAML processors in perl and in other languages
- If I have time, I would like to add the merge
<<
key feature as an option. We could then use it in openQA as a replacement for YAML::PP to be faster.
I already created a proof of concept with a minimal functionality some weeks before this HackWeek.

Explore the integration between OBS and GitHub by pdostal
Project Description
The goals:
1) When GitHub pull request is created or modified the OBS project will be forked and the build results reported back to GitHub. 2) When new version of the GitHub project will be published the OBS will redownload the source and rebuild the project.
Goal for this Hackweek
Do as much as possible, blog about it and maybe use it another existing project.

Implement a full OBS api client in Rust by nbelouin
Description
I recently started to work on tooling for OBS using rust, to do so I started a Rust create to interact with OBS API, I only implemented a few routes/resources for what I needed. What about making it a full fledged OBS client library.
Goals
- Implement more routes/resources
- Implement a test suite against the actual OBS implementation
- Bonus: Create an osc like cli in Rust using the library

obs-service-vendor_node_modules by cdimonaco
Description
When building a javascript package for obs, one option is to use https://github.com/openSUSE/obs-service-node_modules as source service to get the project npm dependencies available for package bulding.
obs-service-vendornodemodules aims to be a source service that vendors npm dependencies, installing them with npm install (optionally only production ones) and then creating a tar package of the installed dependencies.
The tar will be used as source in the package building definitions.
Goals
- Create an obs service package that vendors the npm dependencies as tar archive.
- Maybe add some macros to unpack the vendor package in the specfiles

Bootstrap openSUSE on LoongArch by glaubitz
Description
LoongArch is a new architecture from China which has its roots in the MIPS architecture. It has been created by Loongson and is already supported by Debian Ports, Gentoo and Loongnix.
Upstream support for LoongArch is already quite complete which includes LLVM, Rust, Golang, GRUB, QEMU, LibreOffice and many more. In Debian Ports, where the port is called "loong64", more than 95% of the whole Debian archive have been successfully built for LoongArch.
QEMU support is rather complete and stable such that packages can be built in emulated environments. Hardware can also be requested by Loongson on request for free. Access to real hardware is also provided through the GCC Compile Farm.
Goals
The initial goal should be to add LoongArch to OBS and build a minimal set of packages.
Resources
- Introduction to LoongArch: https://docs.kernel.org/arch/loongarch/introduction.html
- LoongArch community on Github: https://github.com/loongarchlinux
- Debian Ports repository for loong64: http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/pool-loong64/main/
- Gentoo stage3 for loong: https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/#loong
Results
- An initial set of packages for openSUSE loongarch64 has been successfully bootstrapped
- An OBS project has been set up to build packages for openSUSE loongarch64 with more than 3000 packages being built already
- A work-in-progress guide on how to bootstrap a new openSUSE port from Debian has been created
- A work-in-progress guide on how to add a new target to the openSUSE toolchain has been created
Acknowledgements
- Thanks to Adrian Schröter and Rüdiger Oertl for the help with setting up the FTP space and OBS project
- Thanks to Dirk Müller for the input on how to get started with a new port
- Thanks to Richard Biener for quickly accepting my submit requests to add loongarch64 support to the toolchain
Learn about OSB and contribute to `kustomize` and `k9s` packages to add ARM arch by dpock
Description
There are already k9s
and kustomize
packages that exist for openSUSE today. These could be used as the source for these binaries in our rancher projects. By using them we would benefit from CVE fixes included in our distribution of the packages not in cluded upstream. However they are not providing arm package builds which are required.
Goals
- [ ] Update the kustomize package in OBS to use the newest version and send change request
