Hi all,
with switching YaST into Ruby we reach an important milestone and also do a major change in YaST after many years. So we would like to emphasize this change by increasing the YaST version to number 3.
With version 3 we tell all users that there is an important change (although under the cover, look&feel will be the same).
And this could be also used as a marketing feature for new products... ;-)
There are basically these approaches:
- Keep number "2" in the package names, just increase the current version number (e.g. yast2-3.0.0, yast2-packager-3.0.0, ...), but this looks a little bit strange.
- Update also the package names to contain "3", e.g. have yast3-3.0.0, yast3-packager-3.0.0... This looks better and uses the old schema.
Well, for me this is the worst solution. I found quite stupid to put into name of rpm version if it is not shared library. It makes sense for big project like KDE, but we do not want to support old ycp code together with ruby code. On other hand you still can use old ycp code together with ruby code. I like to mention that this will probably lead also to change all paths like /var/log/YaST2,/var/lib/YaST2 or /usr/lib/Yast2 . So from my POV I prefer option 1 as it is the least work and problems and if we really want change number, then option three sounds more reasonable for me.
