I wish to work on this Google Summer of Code idea http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC_2011_Ideas#Make_zypper_search_smarter
I have previous experience in packaging, algorithms and have made open-source contributions before. As a starter, I have written a patch to fix this bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=500988 to enable --match-all search option in zypper.
I have talked to the mentor specified on the GSOC 2011 ideas wiki page whose link I have posted above, Michal Marek, and he advised me that someone from this mailing list may be better able to mentor me on this idea. If someone is interested, please reply.
I like the idea and the project, but I don't think (IMHO) that it is enough (in terms of size/effort) for a full SoC project. -- Duncan Mac-Vicar P. - Novell® Making IT Work As One™ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
