Hi all,

I'm very happy to announce that we've finally been able to upgrade the layer index at http://layers.openembedded.org to the latest revision on master, incorporating quite a bit of work that's been going on for the past few months. Improvements now visible:

* Patch tracking - each recipe detail page now lists any patches being applied by the recipe along with upstream status for each - see attached screenshot. You can click through to view/download the actual patch, and any URLs in the supplemental status text are also made into clickable links.

* Source tracking - remote entries in SRC_URI are now listed on the recipe detail page and made into clickable links where possible - see attached screenshot

* Link to inc files - there is now a link in the recipe detail page to any inc files that a recipe includes as long as they are in the same directory, as a shortcut to see the rest of the definitions for the recipe.

* Recipe list CSV export - there is now an "Export CSV" button at the top of the recipe list on the layer detail page. This currently includes the recipe name and version - we could look at extending this, but note that the REST API provides access to all of the information programmatically and may be better suited for many applications that need this data.

* Site-wide notice support - admins can now add notifications to appear at the top of the page across the entire site. This is useful in the case where there is some problem with the update process or maintenance is going on as happens from time to time.

* Bootstrap 3 - the UI has been updated to use Bootstrap 3 from version 2 that we were using previously. This has made a fairly minor difference to the UI (padding/spacing/fonts have changed a little) but has allowed us to tidy up a few things in the code.

* The "Base" layer type is no longer selectable for layer submissions. I noticed people sometimes selected this erroneously; it's only applicable for openembedded-core and meta-oe basically so that they show up at the top of the layer list. Only admins can now select this type for a layer.

* Numerous other bugfixes, robustness improvements and code cleanups.

Thanks very much to everyone who has contributed to the layer index code up to now (and to BitBake / tinfoil, which we rely upon to extract the information from the metadata), but I'd like to give particular thanks to Michael Halstead, Yi Zhao, Konrad Scherer, Robert Yang and Aníbal Limón for making this upgrade possible.

Also integrated were the Recipe Reporting System (RRS) which powers
http://recipes.yoctoproject.org and other distro comparison support, but these will take a bit more time to properly enable so I'll send out a separate email with further details when they are ready.

As always, please let me know if you have any comments or notice any issues. (I've already seen a few minor problems in the update logs so I'll be looking into those.)

Cheers,
Paul

As daily user of layerindex I think particularly the first three features are very helpful. Thanks a lot!

Paul, and everyone above, many thanks for your contributions to the Layer Index which is definitely a great tool for our community! It encourages and simplifies reuse and sharing of all recipes! The update looks really good, and as Andreas says, the top #3 features will make a big difference.

The "Branch:" and "Filter layers" selection menus don't work for me when using Firefox 62.0 (64-bit) on Ubuntu-18.04.

Google Chrome Version 69.0.3497.100 (Official Build) (64-bit) works fine.

Hmm, I do my development with Firefox and I just checked - with Firefox 62.0 (64-bit) here on Fedora 28 both work. Do you perhaps have an add-on enabled that might prevent these from working? I believe they both rely on javascript (the filter dropdown definitely does).

I've also asked on IRC.

I did have Firefox Lightbeam (disabled) and Quiick Java but I removed them both, re-stared FF and still no joy/menus.

I did have Firefox Lightbeam (disabled) and Quiick Java but I removed them both, re-started FF and still no joy/menus.

One co-worker said that it works for him using

    Firefox 62.0 (64-bit) on Ubuntu-18.04
he has uBlock and Ghostery
and another has no problems with the new code when using:
    Firefox 52.8.0 (32-bit)

( 32 bit!! yikes! :) )

I've restarted FF again, cut back on the crazy number of tabs and the problem persists. Let me know if you know of any other sites that use this JS code and I'd be happy to test with my setup. I'll likey also reboot (sigh) and if needed try using a test account on the laptop.

According my read of the traceback, the failing code is in:
view-source:https://layers.openembedded.org/static/js/jquery-3.3.1.js

...

Sizzle.matchesSelector = function( elem, expr ) {
	// Set document vars if needed
	if ( ( elem.ownerDocument || elem ) !== document ) {
		setDocument( elem );
	}

	// Make sure that attribute selectors are quoted
	expr = expr.replace( rattributeQuotes, "='$1']" );

	if ( support.matchesSelector && documentIsHTML &&
		!compilerCache[ expr + " " ] &&
		( !rbuggyMatches || !rbuggyMatches.test( expr ) ) &&
		( !rbuggyQSA     || !rbuggyQSA.test( expr ) ) ) {

		try {
			var ret = matches.call( elem, expr );

			// IE 9's matchesSelector returns false on disconnected nodes
			if ( ret || support.disconnectedMatch ||
					// As well, disconnected nodes are said to be in a document
					// fragment in IE 9
					elem.document && elem.document.nodeType !== 11 ) {
				return ret;
			}
		} catch (e) {}
	}

	return Sizzle( expr, document, null, [ elem ] ).length > 0;
};

I don't see any relevant issues here:
https://github.com/jquery/sizzle/issues/
but I don't speak javascript.
