Hi Martin :
Thanks a lot for your direction!! I 've a little more questions : )
1) The 2nd question I asked about the cmd method, how I can know a
particular rpm's url? What I know is only the 'update.novel.com' or
sth like that.
2) As fort the 3rd question I asked about the recompiling ,
"http://en.opensuse.org/BuildingYast"
told me to use y2makeall,but I can't find y2makeall......
I got yast source code download from
"https://forgesvn1.novell.com/viewsvn/yast/trunk/",
used the "download tarball" at the bottom ,.(I haven't svn :(
....) and after downloading the "trunk" I renamed it to "Source" and
then used "y2makeall" ,but it couldn't find y2makeall,then I used "
y2tool y2makeall ",this time I found there were many errors when
automatically run "make -f Makefile.cvs" in some folders,such like the
folder "devtools" ,at last I cd devtools and run make -f Makefile.cvs
and I got an error as
" make execvp ./devtools/bin/y2autoconf : Permission denied"
" make :*** [all] Error 127 "
I think I strictly followed the direction of making yast, but failed
in recompiling...so in fact I wanna ask what's wrong with my yast
code? or my configuration is wrong?
Many thanks again !!

Hi all : I'm a college studet,and I've some questions about the mechanism of YOU in SLES 10 ,32bit version . 1) Does YOU use any authentication when getting the package ? For example the user account and the password? I found I needn't input the stuff ,so is these information stored in a file ? like xml ...etc
Hi,
YOU (via libzypp) stores the credentials in the URL of the update repository. They are in /var/lib/zypp/db/sources/* For example if you use update.novel.com or nu.novell.com, you can see the user:passwd in the files. (ZENworks uses /etc/zmd/{deviceid,secret})
2) Can I download a particular rpm using command line(not using GUI) ? Especially using "command url"schema?
Just download? Use wget or curl. Or install too? Have you tried rug or (on SP1) zypper?
3) I found that YOU do all the package related thing rely on the C++ code,and if I want to change the C++ code,how can I make it into the yast2 module to get my changing applied?
I don't quite understand what you mean. You download the sources from .src.rpm or subversion, edit, recompile (or rebuild rpm) and there you are. And send us a patch :-)

4) It seems to me that the YCP language is only the GUI wrapper and all the core stuff is done by c++, am I right?
For YOU, that is right. (For other configuration tasks in the yast control center, YCP contains much more logic.)
