One question we have is how the new tools rug, zen-updater and zmd compare to what we had before with YaST Online Update and suseWatcher. We are interested in every feedback ranging from architecture, design or used standards and their enhancements.
It should be possible to disable and remove the whole ZMD stuff and still be able to work from commandline.
Why? What is the reason behind this?
The most basic reason behind this is that ZMD is not integrated well with libzypp.
The whole "hack" with the helper binaries called and passing of critical data via strings is badly done at this time.
This 'hack' was always the way ZMD was using, even for libredcarpet. So, it's a hack as designed. Stano
