YaST dumps quite information to its own log file (placed at /var/log/YaST2/y2log). That info is very useful to understand and discover what is happening when an issue appears. All YaST modules write into this log file, and the brand new yast2-storage-ng is not an exception. Some improvements are necessary regarding to the logging of this new module:

Time for technical housekeeping in the shared Gran Canaria office.

The theory behind the partitioning proposal of yast2-storage-ng is that all possible distributions of partitions in the disk are evaluated and the best one, according to this criteria, is chosen. But I have found several examples in which is hard believe that the result is actually the optimal distribution of partitions.

I switch fairly often from working on my laptop alone to working on my laptop attached to the dock with several monitors, and I have to move my windows around every time I switch. I want a tool to save and load window/desktop location configurations. I've tried a few tools and scripts that either haven't worked or haven't worked to my liking. I propose to create a tool that will work for openSUSE.

Initially, the Agama D-Bus service was written 100% in Ruby. For many things, it relies on YaST, so it makes sense to use the same language. It was great to have something working quickly, but it also had some drawbacks. The main problem is that, as YaST is not thread-safe, we separated the service into different processes (storage, software, localization, etc.). The system became most responsive but at the cost of eating a lot of RAM.
