thank you for your answer.
can u point me to some documentation?
also it would be bery helpfull if you could tell the level of difficulty of these parts of yast..
You will find various areas with different levels of difficulty - yast2-core The core of YaST is a component model and type system, called YCP. There is also a YCP language that is a 1:1 representation of this, but the idea is that you can write a component in any language as long as you use the YCP types. This also includes the ycp parser, the SCR component (to access the system) and its agents (or backend for different system areas /proc, ini files, sysconfig), etc. YaST itself is separated in modules (APIs or namespaces with functions, I prefer to call them components), and clients (workflows). There is a perl, ruby and python modules. Which allow you to write a module (as in APIs) in any of those languages, to be called by any other YaST component. So you can do: foo.rb module MyAPI def self.hello puts "hello" end end And then from YCP, perl, python you could do: MyAPI::hello, and that should work :-) - libyui It is a C++ library offering a UI API without an event loop. It uses plugins for Qt, Gtk and curses. There is a ycp-bindings API that offers a YCP component for that library and parses a ycp symbol list into a widget. -- Duncan Mac-Vicar P. - Novell® Making IT Work As One™ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
