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.
For this is missing:
- commandline installation source management (installation_sources equiv.) - commandline package installation (basically the yast -i pkg thing) - commandline online update (online_update equiv.)
I think the question here is even greater: Do we really need a daemon? Pros: + daemon helps with remote management + is fast (not the case with zmd if zmd is sleeping) Cons: + needs resources running (zmd needs less resources if it's sleeping) What else?
