Going forward, we will work more towards a unified architecture for openSUSE and SLE.
Could you elaborate? Does that mean huge rewrites of zmd and rug? .. or does it mean more of the stuff we've already gotten used to with the synchronization and the helpers?
It means a package management stack which is shared across community and enterprise products and flexible enough to fulfill the needs of both sides. It should not force unwanted/unneeded functionality onto a product and follow open and established standards as far as possible. How this will look like in the end, I don't know yet.
I've done a quick mock-up of how it could look in the future for comparison - maybe already in 10.2 for KDE users: http://suse.linuxin.dk/pm102.png
That should match 10.2Beta1 ;-)
No, on 10.2b1 you would have to add zmd+helpers and rug, and on GNOME also an updater applet using Zmd. At least until the user manually cleans it up. On 10.2b1 the package management stack is even more complex than on 10.1, with zypper and opensuse-updater added and nothing cleaned up.
Well, we cleaned up the stack dependencies. You can deselect the ZENworks pattern without loosing functionality (update applet and command line tool). The resulting package management stack should match your picture.
