COSMIC, System76’s Rust-based desktop that’s going to replace GNOME in Pop!_OS, is nearing its alpha release, and the Linux OEM has published another blog post detailing the latest progress it’s made. First and foremost, theming support has been further refined by adding support for theming GTK applications (both GTK3 and 4) and flatpak applications. If the user has enabled global themes, these themes will be applied automatically whenever selecting a theme to apply. Support for custom icon packs has also been added. COSMIC now also has an application store, much like GNOME Software and KDE’s Discover, which also takes care of updating installed applications. You can now also drag windows from anywhere inside the window by holding down the super key, which is both a nice addition in general as well as a usability feature. The Settings application has also seen work, and gets a new keyboard settings panel, as well as various other smaller additions. COSMIC also now implements on-screen display toasts for things like changing volume and brightness, and plugging in power. System76 isn’t the only one working on COSMIC – community members have implemented things like window snapping, touchpad gestures, thumbnail previews in the dock, and more. The community is also working on things like an emoi picker, and a fan control graphical user interface. There’s a lot more in the blog post, so be sure to give it a read. I’m genuinely excited for COSMIC to hit the shelves, because I’m dying to try it out.

The Transport Ministry (MOT) has clarified that the MySikap and Mainframe contracts for all Road Transport Department’s (JPJ) offices were awarded to HeiTech Padu Bhd through open tender.

Minister Anthony Loke told a press conference on Wednesday (April 17) that HeiTech Padu secured the contract based on its competitive bid of RM185.07 million and successful evaluation, refuting suggestions from some quarters that the project was offered to HeiTech Padu was established because the company’s director or shareholder has ties to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, namely Datuk Farhashwafa Salvador.

Loke said the Prime Minister and the Cabinet took a serious view of the insinuations, adding that dissatisfied parties could lodge complaints with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission for further investigation.

Welcome back to “Skills Upgrade” a Talking Drupal mini-series following the journey of a D7 developer learning D10. This is episode 7.

Topics

• Review Chad’s goals for the previous week

  • Test Example
  • Set up phpunit.xml
  • Start with FrontPageLinkTest.php

• Review Chad’s questions

  • In the testing_example module, the file “src/Controller/TestingExampleController.php” has a function for simpletestDescription(). Is this an outdated artifact that should have been removed at some point? The module itself doesn’t appear to use Simpletest elsewhere and appears to only rely on PHPUnit.
  • What do you recommend for the minimal code structure to include for any given test type? Is the Testing Example module an ideal model or are there other resources I should review? The testing reference from Selwyn was helpful.
  • In the “FrontPageLinkDependenciesTest.php” setUp() function, the createContentType() function is called without specifying the type. Is that set somewhere else? I may have overlooked it. Nevermind—it’s set using randomMachineName() in the createContentType() function. Is there anything extra or standard to write in tests for drupal.org?

• Tasks for the upcoming week

  • Smart Date – Martin (maintainer) to review promptly, I’ve already chatted with him about it. Create a new functional test: “submit a range with an end time before the start and validate that an error is returned”
    • Create an issue in the Smart Date queue and assign to yourself.
    • Create an issue fork.
    • Check out the issue fork locally.
    • Write (and test) the test locally.
    • Commit and push to the issue fork.
    • Mark issue as “Needs review”.
    • Ask someone to review – if all looks good, the reviewer will mark as RBTC.

Janus is a read/write split proxy for MySQL/ActiveRecord 7.1+. It works by sending any read queries to a replica, and any write queries to the primary database server. If there’s been a write statement within the same thread we stick any future queries to the primary server unless the developer specifically chooses not to.

A series of commits by Jeremie Courreges-Anglas (jca@)
has modified
tar(1)
such that its default write format (for archives) is that of
pax(1).
The message with the final
commit
captures the gist of the change:

CVSROOT:	/cvs
Module name:	src
Changes by:	jca@cvs.openbsd.org	2024/04/16 17:09:35

Modified files:
	bin/pax        : options.c tar.1 

Log message:
Switch tar(1) write default format to 'pax'

Lets us store longer file names, link names, finer grained timestamps,
larger archive member files, etc; at the expense of larger uncompressed
archives and less widespread support across the ecosystem.  If you're
unhappy with the new defaults, you can use -F ustar.  Or you can help
fix bugs / find a better middle ground.
