Before the openSUSE 2022, we built a prototype of a command line interface for D-Installer just for demonstration purposes. It implements a limited set of functions and, apart from packaging changes, it has not received any relevant update for months.

Project Description

Store the OS root-tree on a container storage. The idea is to build a minimal golang tool capable to init a container storage to a custom location, store remote OCI images in there and mount them into a custom mountpoint. Next step is to craft a dracut based initrd including such a tool to mount the OS at boot. Finally, craft a disk with an EFI partition including the kernel, initrd and systemd-boot.

Project Description

Currently flatpak uses appstream-glib to parse and generate appstream files however, appstream-glib is no longer maintained and this has resulted in many features not being propagated to flatpak. There is currently 2 prs porting flatpak & flatpak-builder to appstream.

Project Description

klp-convert is a tool that is trying to be merged into the Linux Kernel to help livepatching non exported functions.

Project Description

Uyuni is the upstream community project from which the very popular SUSE Manager is derived. It uses its own QE test suite wirtten in Cucumber and Ruby. Currently the Uyuni test suite runs with Ruby 2.5.9 which is EOL since 2021. This is because the most current Ruby version for openSUSE Leap 15.4, which the test suite controller runs on, is still Ruby 2.5.9. Updating the Ruby version allows us to modernize the test suite code base and to use more recent Ruby gems that do not support the old Ruby version anymore.

Project Description

With the discontinuation of k3os, there is no minimal Linux available that bundles the OS with k3s, but with Elemental one can create custom images that can be extended. The community has been asking for this, but we don't have an immediate need for enterprise customers, so it hasn't been prioritized.

Project Description

Create a graphic scene where I can see a cube and maybe add to it some textures or modify its geometry.

Often when we test maintenance updates or when we decide to push an update for a package we want to know what that change may cause. Right now it is really difficult to figure out what package depends on a given package.

Motivation

Sometimes you search for a package, and you don't find it because you're not typing it right. Of course there's regex support behind the scenes but it requires conscious effort to make use of.

Motivation

Since we use different systems to report bugs (Bugzilla) and track their fixes (GitHub), we have a dedicated tool to keep our boards in sync and up-to-date between those two. The tool we use today is called finglonger and it's written in clojure which makes it rather difficult to maintain and expand.

Project Description

Keeping a consolidated view of a project's progress is a non-trivial endeavor. There are far too many moving parts from its inception, such as planning, issue tracking, development, and testing. All the while one must keep track of some form of metrics to ensure that there's progress, and that the progress is happening in the right direction (or whatever is considered the right direction at the moment).
