But unfortunately not for SLES - there the hassle has to go on (by order), and that may affect the business part of SUSE/Novell.
well.. you probably know what happends to a part of a commercial product if cause to loose money..it becomes either an documented bug or disappears..that pressure is higher than comunnity pressure I guess ;-P
Surely, they have to turn "bad" management decision into "good" result, but without help of the community now.
Let's hope this shit will turn into gold without help from the community. Not the best chance...
It probably has a chance to improve if
1. is not marketed as be integrated with yast ( integration will never work, it hurts so much...)
2. if rug is separated from the zmd daemon (yes,rug is fine IMHO) and ZMD dissapears from the scene.
3. it is fixed to achieve better performance (I guess that requires fixing not only Zenworks but mono and other components)
Surely, almost everytime high-level is low-performance. But this is not known to managers: they have to deserve it in practice before they "believe" it (almost never "understand"). This result usually is coming too late for the business.
Finally, Im pleased with this announce and invite the rest of the contributors to test zypper and related stuff **madly**. I can now stop bugging people about Zenworks problems and use my time in a more productive and less annoying task.
Yes. But I fear about SLES usage quality - we have more than 1000 licenses here - already lowered by number against the past years due to changed pricing models (more money for the same number of servers - obviously Novell does not reflect RedHat's "educational" prices); our new license contract may be the last by two reasons now...
