But when something gets included it has IMO be maintained & supported and in case of a network managing service, it IMO requires integration beyond the bare possibility of a use as network managing service: e.g. boot from some media and installation/update has IMO to be possible, that is yast2 needs to be able to confiure it, ....
The idea with wicd is to have packaged alternative that will work fine with distro provided libraries, and to be used when all other options fail. At that moment the level of integration is the smallest of concerns. Situation is similar to one when package management had problems and people resorted to Smart package manager. It is just to help users to get online and keep openSUSE, not to have full fledged replacement for network management. In other words I would recommend to include it in Factory for the time being. As your work on wicked matures wicd will be lesser and lesser needed. It will be the same as with Smart that never displaced zypper and YaST Software Management, and now can't be found even in the Packman. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
