Well - lets hope the "one yast2-web version to rule them all" comes soon, and we can drop the ncurses package manager at the same time as qt and gtk.
What on Earth are you talking about? Dropping ncurses yast?
Please say it's a typo or something. Maybe a brain fart?
<snip> If you want something less resource intensive and doesn't like GUI, use zypper.
So you think YaST is only for software management?
imho, "brain-fart" is too harsh a word to use in this discussion.
And commandline interface to YaST over ssh without GUI, neither in client nor server is something very important.
YaST makes openSUSE unique as such, ncurses yast even more.
It's about remote administration in general, not just clickety software management.
Don't say something should be dropped if you don't know what it is. -- Vahis
I am surprised that still there exists networks with a need for remote admin, but none of the client machines not being able to run a GUI browser. Understand that I (or anyone) didn't demand a removal of yast-ncurses and filed a FATE request for it. It is just a personal opinion on the yast front end future as I perceive it. However, my opinion on usage of "brain-fart" as harsh/needless still holds. -- Sankar P http://psankar.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
