[zypp-devel] Where can I find information about the proposed libzypp application API?
After talking about the zypp backend for PackageKit, we (Scott, JP and I) were chatting about the Application API we've heard about for libzypp. Could someone let us know: 1. Where can the new API proposal be found? Is it this? http://idea.opensuse.org/content/ideas/better-api-for-applications-using-lib... 2. Is anyone currently working on it? 3. When should we expect it to be ready to use? Thanks! Boyd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org

There's also http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/Application_Layer which has some more information, I don't know anything else about it though. I'm somewhat concerned about the magnitude of changes in API for 11, as I've been using it for a personal project. -- Benjamin Weber -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org

Actually, this largely just summarizes the status quo with only very little
new functionality -- which tends to be moving functionality from elsewhere
(YQPackageSelector / NCPackageSelector / zypper) to this API layer where it
really belongs.
We just never had a formal specification for all that. Now we do.

The application layer is mostly about a _new_ layer, you can still do hard core libzypp development. Note however that we will have to adopt the API somewhat to make zypp faster. Not by magnitudes though :) Greetings, Stephan -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
