As 10.2 release nears I think into future - 10.3 features - and I would like to request massive updates in Yast - that is - new modules that I would like to see:
1. Swap Manager (Yast GUI to manage swap files & partitions)
What would be addresses in the "swap manager" that is not already done in the partitioner module ? Swap files ? You can already manage swap partitions in the partitioner.
2. FTP Server (Yast GUI to manage vsFTPd) 3. SSH Server (Yast GUI to manage openssh) 4. NX Server (Yast GUI to manage FreeNX terminal server, based on ssh) 5. Sax3D (Yast/Sax GUI to manage XGL/AIGLX & Compiz for 3D Desktop Effects)
Those modules are really *very* needed by the SUSE community. Unfortunately I don't know YCP to program those modules myself, so I ask those, who can do it. The documentation I found is very scarse & poor, disallowing me to write anything useful - anything beyond "Hello World" in YCP.
Stefan Hundhammer held a 1,5 hour tutorial about writing yast modules at FOSDEM 2006. The full video recording of the tutorial is available here: - - small (300 MB): http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/FOSDEM/FOSDEM2006-openSUSE-10-Writing_YaST_Modul... - - large (2 GB): http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/FOSDEM/FOSDEM2006-openSUSE-10-Writing_YaST_Modul...

What do you think ?
I'd rather vote for enhancing the firewall module ;)
FTP server isn't a bad idea though, help about that is asked now and
then on #suse (IRC).
cheers
