New subject: [Bug 336390] Split yast2-ncurses into "UI library" and "packagemanager"

24 Oct 2007

      ...
From my point of view the current yast2-ncurses package should be split into
two parts just because it contains both: common UI library and a special

           Summary: Split yast2-ncurses into "UI library" and
                    "packagemanager"
           Product: openSUSE 11.0
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P5 - None

packagemanager.

This also makes the whole package dependent of libzypp (just because of the
packagemanager). Once libzypp is changed, we have to fix yast2-ncurses too but
if it were split, we would have to fix only that package and the UI library
would stay intact.

Considering the current status, if Bubli wants to fix anything in curses UI
library, she has to build the current libzypp too and as it is still in
development, it makes it hard to bring it to life :) I'd like to drop that
dependency.

Maybe even Qt or GTK UI would make sense to split.
AJ, Coolo: what do you think of that?
Bubli: Is it possible? Would it make the maintenance easier?
