I received the below message from Duncan. I believe it was sent only to me by mistake, therefore I forward it here as I believe it's important. On Tuesday 31 October 2006 16:17, Martin Schlander wrote:
Presently discussion is on-going in bugzilla about the architecture of package management, mostly wrt. 10.2. I think that we should clarify longer term goals. Which imho must be to not have zmd installed by default on openSUSE, as it causes problems and unnecessary complexity without adding functionality that the openSUSE users need. I'm curious if official people agree with this?
Doing an updater applet for Gnome is really easy. But we should see if it is possible to extend the zen-updater to make it multi-backend. Basically a direct-system applet does: start, every X time, launches /usr/sbin/zypp-check-patches-wrapper parses xml output and display it in a fancy mode. offers a button to launch yast2 inst_source and yast2_onlineupdate That is. All the logic, caching, etc, is in zypp helper. Perhaps a nice chance for the communty to contribute some lines of code.
