Sometimes we get from Labs team patch from kernel-source.git. It is nice as it contains not only patch against expended kernel tree, but also changes series.conf and changes file and identical patch is in GIT. Unfortunately it always leads to conflicts, tarballs need to be extracted and then repacked so most of the job is done manually.

I'd like to create tool which would help apply such patch automatically whenever it is possible.

Looking for hackers with the skills:

    Create a page with all devel:languages:perl packages and their versions by tinita

    Description

    Perl projects now live in git: https://src.opensuse.org/perl

    It would be useful to have an easy way to check which version of which perl module is in devel:languages:perl. Also we have meta overrides and patches for various modules, and it would be good to have them at a central place, so it is easier to lookup, and we can share with other vendors.

    I did some initial data dump here a while ago: https://github.com/perlpunk/cpan-meta

    But I never had the time to automate this.

    I can also use the data to check if there are necessary updates (currently it uses data from download.opensuse.org, so there is some delay and it depends on building).

    Goals

    • Have a script that updates a central repository (e.g. https://src.opensuse.org/perl/_metadata) with metadata by looking at https://src.opensuse.org/perl/_ObsPrj (check if there are any changes from the last run)
    • Create a HTML page with the list of packages (use Javascript and some table library to make it easily searchable)

    Resources

    Results

    Day 1

    Day 2

    • HTML Page has now links to src.opensuse.org and the date of the last update, plus a short info at the top
    • Code is now 100% covered by tests: https://app.codecov.io/gh/perlpunk/opensuse-perl-meta
    • I used the modern perl class feature, which makes perl classes even nicer and shorter. See example
    • Tests
      • I tried out the mocking feature of the modern Test2::V0 library which provides call tracking. See example
      • I tried out comparing data structures with the new Test2::V0 library. It let's you compare parts of the structure with the like function, which only compares the date that is mentioned in the expected data. example

    Day 3

    • Added various things to the table
      • Dependencies column
      • Show popup with info for cpanspec, patches and dependencies
      • Added last date / commit to the data export.

    Plan: With the added date / commit we can now daily check _ObsPrj for changes and only fetch the data for changed packages.

    git-fs: file system representation of a git repository by fgonzalez

    Description

    This project aims to create a Linux equivalent to the git/fs concept from git9. Now, I'm aware that git provides worktrees, but they are not enough for many use cases. Having a read-only representation of the whole repository simplifies scripting by quite a bit and, most importantly, reduces disk space usage. For instance, during kernel livepatching development, we need to process and analyze the source code of hundreds of kernel versions simultaneously.This is rather painful with git-worktrees, as each kernel branch requires no less than 1G of disk space.

    As for the technical details, I'll implement the file system using FUSE. The project itself should not take much time to complete, but let's see where it takes me.

    I'll try to keep the same design as git9, so the file system will look something like:

    
    /mnt/git
          +-- ctl
          +-- HEAD
          |    +-- tree
          |    |    +--files
          |    |    +--in
          |    |    +--head
          |    |
          |    +-- hash
          |    +-- msg
          |    +-- parent
          |
          +-- branch
          |      |
          |      +-- heads
          |      |      +-- master
          |      |            +-- [commit files, see HEAD]
          |      +-- remotes
          |             +-- origin
          |                     +-- master
          |                            +-- [commit files, see HEAD]
          +-- object
                +-- 00051fd3f066e8c05ae7d3cf61ee363073b9535f # blob contents
                +-- 00051fd3f066e8c05ae7d3cf61ee363073b9535c
                      +-- [tree contents, see HEAD/tree]
                +-- 3f5dbc97ae6caba9928843ec65fb3089b96c9283
                      +-- [commit files, see HEAD]
    

    So, if you wanted to look at the commit message of the current branch, you could simply do:

    cat /mnt/git/HEAD/msg 

    No collaboration needed. This is a solo project.

    Goals

    • Implement a working prototype.

    • Measure and improve the performance if possible. This step will be the most crucial one. User space filesystems are slower by nature.

    Mail client with mailing list workflow support in Rust by acervesato

    Description

    To create a mail user interface using Rust programming language, supporting mailing list patches workflow. I know, aerc is already there, but I would like to create something simpler, without integrated protocols. Just a plain user interface that is using some crates to read and create emails which are fetched and sent via external tools.

    I already know Rust, but not the async support, which is needed in this case in order to handle events inside the mail folder and to send notifications.

    Goals

    • simple user interface in the style of aerc, with some vim keybindings for motions and search
    • automatic run of external tools (like mbsync) for checking emails
    • automatic run commands for notifications
    • apply patch set from ML
    • tree-sitter support with styles

    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.

    Testing and adding GNU/Linux distributions on Uyuni by juliogonzalezgil

    Join the Gitter channel! https://gitter.im/uyuni-project/hackweek

    Uyuni is a configuration and infrastructure management tool that saves you time and headaches when you have to manage and update tens, hundreds or even thousands of machines. It also manages configuration, can run audits, build image containers, monitor and much more!

    Currently there are a few distributions that are completely untested on Uyuni or SUSE Manager (AFAIK) or just not tested since a long time, and could be interesting knowing how hard would be working with them and, if possible, fix whatever is broken.

    For newcomers, the easiest distributions are those based on DEB or RPM packages. Distributions with other package formats are doable, but will require adapting the Python and Java code to be able to sync and analyze such packages (and if salt does not support those packages, it will need changes as well). So if you want a distribution with other packages, make sure you are comfortable handling such changes.

    No developer experience? No worries! We had non-developers contributors in the past, and we are ready to help as long as you are willing to learn. If you don't want to code at all, you can also help us preparing the documentation after someone else has the initial code ready, or you could also help with testing :-)

    The idea is testing Salt (including bootstrapping with bootstrap script) and Salt-ssh clients

    To consider that a distribution has basic support, we should cover at least (points 3-6 are to be tested for both salt minions and salt ssh minions):

    1. Reposync (this will require using spacewalk-common-channels and adding channels to the .ini file)
    2. Onboarding (salt minion from UI, salt minion from bootstrap scritp, and salt-ssh minion) (this will probably require adding OS to the bootstrap repository creator)
    3. Package management (install, remove, update...)
    4. Patching
    5. Applying any basic salt state (including a formula)
    6. Salt remote commands
    7. Bonus point: Java part for product identification, and monitoring enablement
    8. Bonus point: sumaform enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/sumaform)
    9. Bonus point: Documentation (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni-docs)
    10. Bonus point: testsuite enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/tree/master/testsuite)

    If something is breaking: we can try to fix it, but the main idea is research how supported it is right now. Beyond that it's up to each project member how much to hack :-)

    • If you don't have knowledge about some of the steps: ask the team
    • If you still don't know what to do: switch to another distribution and keep testing.

    This card is for EVERYONE, not just developers. Seriously! We had people from other teams helping that were not developers, and added support for Debian and new SUSE Linux Enterprise and openSUSE Leap versions :-)

    Switch software-o-o to store repomd in a database by hennevogel

    Description

    The openSUSE Software portal is a web app to explore binary packages of openSUSE distributions. Kind of like an package manager / app store.

    https://software.opensuse.org/

    This app has been around forever (August 2007) and it's architecture is a bit brittle. It acts as a frontend to the OBS distributions and published binary search APIs, calculates and caches a lot of stuff in memory and needs code changes nearly every openSUSE release to keep up.

    As you can imagine, it's a heavy user of the OBS API, especially when caches are cold.

    Goals

    I want to change the app to cache repomod data in a (postgres) database structure

    • Distributions have many Repositories
    • Repositories have many Packages
    • Packages have many Patches

    The UI workflows will be as following

    • As an admin I setup Distribution and it's repositories
    • As an admin I sync all repositories repomd files into to the database
    • As a user I browse a Distribution by category
    • As a user I search for Package of a Distribution in it's Repositories
    • As a user I extend the search to Package build on OBS for this Distribution

    This has a couple of pro's:

    • Less traffic on the OBS API as the usual Packages are inside the database
    • Easier base to add features to this page. Like comments, ratings, openSUSE specific screenshots etc.
    • Separating the Distribution package search from searching through OBS will hopefully make more clear for newbies that enabling extra repositories is kind of dangerous.

    And one con:

    • You can't search for packages build for foreign distributions with this app anymore (although we could consume their repomd etc. but I doubt we have the audience on an opensuse.org domain...)

    VimGolf Station by emiler

    Description

    VimGolf is a challenge game where the goal is to edit a given piece of text into a desired final form using as few keystrokes as possible in Vim.

    Some time ago, I built a rough portable station using a Raspberry Pi and a spare monitor. It was initially used to play VimGolf at the office and later repurposed for publicity at several events. This project aims to create a more robust version of that station and provide the necessary scripts and Ansible playbooks to make configuring your own VimGolf station easy.

    Goals

    • Refactor old existing scripts
    • Implement challenge selecion
    • Load external configuration files
    • Create Ansible playbooks
    • Publish on GitHub
