    Create a go module to wrap happy-compta.fr by cbosdonnat

    Description

    https://happy-compta.fr is a tool for french work councils simple book keeping. While it does the job, it has no API to work with and it is tedious to enter loads of operations.

    Goals

    Write a go client module to be used as an API to programmatically manipulate the tool.

    Writing an example tool to load data from a CSV file would be good too.

    Play with the userfaultfd(2) system call and download on demand using HTTP Range Requests with Golang by rbranco

    Description

    The userfaultfd(2) is a cool system call to handle page faults in user-space. This should allow me to list the contents of an ISO or similar archive without downloading the whole thing. The userfaultfd(2) part can also be done in theory with the PROT_NONE mprotect + SIGSEGV trick, for complete Unix portability, though reportedly being slower.

    Goals

    1. Create my own library for userfaultfd(2) in Golang.
    2. Create my own library for HTTP Range Requests.
    3. Complete portability with Unix.
    4. Benchmarks.
    5. Contribute some tests to LTP.

    Rewrite Distrobox in go (POC) by fabriziosestito

    Description

    Rewriting Distrobox in Go.

    Main benefits:

    • Easier to maintain and to test
    • Adapter pattern for different container backends (LXC, systemd-nspawn, etc.)

    Goals

    • Build a minimal starting point with core commands
    • Keep the CLI interface compatible: existing users shouldn't notice any difference
    • Use a clean Go architecture with adapters for different container backends
    • Keep dependencies minimal and binary size small
    • Benchmark against the original shell script

    go-git: unlocking SHA256-based repository cloning ahead of git v3 by pgomes

    Description

    The go-git library implements the git internals in pure Go, so that any Go application can handle not only Git repositories, but also lower-level primitives (e.g. packfiles, idxfiles, etc) without needing to shell out to the git binary.

    The focus for this Hackweek is to fast track key improvements for the project ahead of the upstream release of Git V3, which may take place at some point next year.

    Goals

    Stretch goals

    terraform-provider-feilong by e_bischoff

    Project Description

    People need to test operating systems and applications on s390 platform. While this is straightforward with KVM, this is very difficult with z/VM.

    IBM Cloud Infrastructure Center (ICIC) harnesses the Feilong API, but you can use Feilong without installing ICIC(see this schema).

    What about writing a terraform Feilong provider, just like we have the terraform libvirt provider? That would allow to transparently call Feilong from your main.tf files to deploy and destroy resources on your z/VM system.

    Goal for Hackweek 23

    I would like to be able to easily deploy and provision VMs automatically on a z/VM system, in a way that people might enjoy even outside of SUSE.

    My technical preference is to write a terraform provider plugin, as it is the approach that involves the least software components for our deployments, while remaining clean, and compatible with our existing development infrastructure.

    Goals for Hackweek 24

    Feilong provider works and is used internally by SUSE Manager team. Let's push it forward!

    Let's add support for fiberchannel disks and multipath.

    Goals for Hackweek 25

    SUSE Health Check Tools by roseswe

    SUSE HC Tools Overview

    A collection of tools written in Bash or Go 1.24++ to make life easier with handling of a bunch of tar.xz balls created by supportconfig.

    Background: For SUSE HC we receive a bunch of supportconfig tar balls to check them for misconfiguration, areas for improvement or future changes.

    Main focus on these HC are High Availability (pacemaker), SLES itself and SAP workloads, esp. around the SUSE best practices.

    Goals

    • Overall improvement of the tools
    • Adding new collectors
    • Add support for SLES16

    Add support for todo.sr.ht to git-bug by mcepl

    Description

    I am a big fan of distributed issue tracking and the best (and possibly) only credible such issue tracker is now git-bug. It has bridges to another centralized issue trackers, so user can download (and modify) issues on GitHub, GitLab, Launchpad, Jira). I am also a fan of SourceHut, which has its own issue tracker, so I would like it bridge the two. Alas, I don’t know much about Go programming language (which the git-bug is written) and absolutely nothing about GraphQL (which todo.sr.ht uses for communication). AI to the rescue. I would like to vibe code (and eventually debug and make functional) bridge to the SourceHut issue tracker.

    Goals

    Functional fix for https://github.com/git-bug/git-bug/issues/1024

    • anybody how actually understands how GraphQL and authentication on SourceHut (OAuth2) works
