Hi,
This is Pearly Zhao from Oracle Linux team. I'm working on porting YaST to RHEL4/EL4 and RHEL5/EL5. The site of YaST on RHEL/EL is at http://oss.oracle.com/projects/yast/.
About YaST on RHEL/EL, only the main modules and some modules we needed are ported. YaST on RHEL4/EL4 has been opened to download and YaST on RHEL5/EL5 will be uploaded soon. The codes will be contributed as soon as possible too.
I think the codes and experience can help YaST on Fedora or other distributions. So I would like to work on "YaST on other Distributions" http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Research/YaST_on_other_Distributions
Hi Pearly,
good to hear that! Would you like to come over to Nuremberg for the workshop? Yes, I realize that it is a long way and short notice.
I looked at http://oss.oracle.com/projects/yast/ last year and I was somewhat dissappointed seeing that you were using yast2-2.9.x. That is old, it comes from SLES9, released in 2004, and we released SLES10 in 2006 already. Yesterday openSUSE 11.0 came out having yast2-2.16.x, and SLES 11 will have 2.17.x. I mean, if you use a code base that is too old, it will not be possible to merge your patches to the current development tree.
I understand that you have already started porting for RHEL5, right? Can you share the source/patches with us?
Join us on IRC: irc://irc.opensuse.org/yast for a more direct conversation.
Hi, Martin Thanks for your invitation, but for some personal reason, I can't go to Nuremberg to attend the workshop. Porting YaST to RHEL/EL is for an Oracle product Oracle Enterprise Manager, so we have to use the same version YaST between SLES9 and RHEL4/EL4, though it is old. YaST for RHEL5/EL5 is ported from the version of SLES10SP1 and it is in testing now. I will share the sources/patches when it is finished.
