Hi! I compiled YaST and one yast module (yast2-iscsi-client as an example that it works) on Fedora Core 9: http://mzugec.blogspot.com/2008/05/research-of-possibility-running-yast.html This is of course only first step to make it really usable or really cross-distribution upstreamed tool. I compiled also libzypp/zypper and do some tests to compare their speed (installation source is local CD): [root@dhcp24 ~]# time echo "y"|yum install rpmlint Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit fedora | 2.4 kB 00:00 updates | 2.3 kB 00:00 Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package rpmlint.noarch 0:0.82-3.fc9 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: rpmlint noarch 0.82-3.fc9 fedora 178 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 1 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 178 k Is this ok [y/N]: Downloading Packages: (1/1): rpmlint-0.82-3.fc9.noarch.rpm | 178 kB 00:00 Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing: rpmlint ######################### [1/1] Installed: rpmlint.noarch 0:0.82-3.fc9 Complete! real 0m15.552s user 0m9.794s sys 0m3.801s And after uninstalling the same with zypper: [root@dhcp24 ~]# time zypper -n in rpmlint Reading installed packages...
