Goal for this Hackweek

  • Add support for more e-ink displays, I do have second smaller 2bpp displays to play with
  • A few fixes in the widget library, there are still a few widgets that does not work well enough with 1 or 2bpp depth
  • Generally get the software stack ready so that I can finally have fully open source ebook reader stack

    Bring to Cockpit + System Roles capabilities from YAST by miguelpc

    Bring to Cockpit + System Roles features from YAST

    Cockpit and System Roles have been added to SLES 16 There are several capabilities in YAST that are not yet present in Cockpit and System Roles We will follow the principle of "automate first, UI later" being System Roles the automation component and Cockpit the UI one.

    Goals

    The idea is to implement service configuration in System Roles and then add an UI to manage these in Cockpit. For some capabilities it will be required to have an specific Cockpit Module as they will interact with a reasource already configured.

    Resources

    A plan on capabilities missing and suggested implementation is available here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZhX-Ip9MKJNeKSYV3bSZG4Qc5giuY7XSV0U61Ecu9lo/edit
