Hm, from first link I see, that I should create new method. No problem. Will try.

So I tried. I created method g_y2ccjast

but It was stored in compiled file as 0001491e T _Z10g_y2ccjastv

as I do not know how to compile it with precise name I gaved it up.

The g_y2cc... symbol must be an object of the Y2ComponentCreator type.

There might be a way around that, but I'd rather remove this senseless restriction in an online update. Can you patch YUIComponentCreator::createInternal and proceed?

Did that. Actually worked.

Oh, good.

However. My library is placed in ~/.yast2/servers/libjast.so and for sure I created link into

~/.yast2/plugin/libpy2jast.so.2

Strace showed, that those places are tried :)

But at the end I got: [ui] YUIPlugin.cc(YUIPlugin):69 Could not load UI plugin "jast": /usr/lib/YaST2/plugin/libpy2jast.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Which I had to say didn`t expected.

After creating of symbolic link I was finally able to call my constructor.

So. What I can to do run it without patching YUIComponentCreator ?

Well, I would have to dig around a bit. It would help if I could try it on your actual code. Can I get a snapshot or a repository?
