Reuse React Components between two plugins?
by Rohan Joseph 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

Hi everyone! I'm working on two plugins for cockpit. There is a React component that I need for both of my plugins, and we are concerned about having to maintain this component in two separate repositories. Has anyone else encountered this problem, and how did they deal with it? Any suggestions? Is providing it like base1 is provided possible/recommended? The common component is called wizard, and both components pass it step components as children. Thanks, Rohan CJ

Documented release procedure in cockpit wiki
by Martin Pitt 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

Hello all, In the interest of avoiding bus factor == 1 complications, I just documented our release procedure: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/wiki/Maintenance I tried to be as detailled as possible, but as always I'm sure that I was missing some steps or credentials, etc. Lars volunteered to become a "release deputy" and will run through these steps for one of the next releases to become familiar with it, and work out the bugs in the above documentation. But of course feedback from anyone else is appreciated! Martin

Cockpit 172 released
by Martin Pitt 11 Jul '18

11 Jul '18

http://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-172.html Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from version 172. System: Offer installation of PCP --------------------------------- The System page now shows an "Enable persistent metrics…" link if the [PCP package is not installed. This is similar to the on-demand installation of the NFS client packages in Cockpit 169. Screenshot: https://cockpit-project.org/images/pcp-install-on-demand.png Software Updates: Improve layout in mobile mode ----------------------------------------------- The Software Updates page improves spacing and layout in small browser windows and mobile browsers. Screenshot: https://cockpit-project.org/images/packagekit-mobile-optimization.png Remove ability to drop privileges from navigation bar ----------------------------------------------------- Before this release, Cockpit showed a “Locked” or “Unlocked” status in the navigation bar. It reflected the “Reuse my password for privileged tasks” checkbox on the login page. Clicking on “Unlocked” would lock the interface and drop administrator capabilities. In general, the capability downgrade feature is not well supported across Cockpit. Most pages do not respond well to privilege changes. A non-clickable administrative privilege badge (“Privileged”) replaces the old interactive locked/unlocked status. The ability to start cockpit without escalating privileges remains on the login screen. Dropping privileges at runtime is still available in the user menu, under "Authentication". Screenshot: https://cockpit-project.org/images/cockpit-drop-privileges.png Introduce flow control for all channels --------------------------------------- The Cockpit API now has flow control to reduce buffering, improve memory usage, and make the user interface more responsive. Third-party Cockpit extensions may use the API to transfer large amounts of data. A notable example: Welder (https://github.com/weldr/welder-web) downloads customized operating system from remote machines. Without flow control, Welder would become unresponsive and use large amounts of memory. Python 3 support ---------------- Cockpit, along with all unit tests and most integration tests, now supports Python 3. Building with Python 2 still works, but it is now deprecated. Get it ------ You can get Cockpit here: http://cockpit-project.org/running.html Cockpit 172 is available in Fedora 28: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/cockpit-172-1.fc28 Or download the tarball here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/172 Take care, Martin Pitt
