I read the "Creating a lens" tutorial and I realize that augeas is an actual parsing tool (and not only a heap of regexps). Using it will actually improve yast2. If zypper already has a dependency on Augeas, that's all the more reason for doing this change.
Anyone interested in playing with it?
I'm all in. Can you suggest a place in yast2, where I can start?
One thing is enabling the use of Augeas. I think we should use the existing Perl or Ruby bindings (we don't have RPMs yet) and write some helper/wrapper for the YCP modules.
Also we can look at the current agent usage: grep -h '^`ag_' /usr/share/YaST2/scrconf/*.scr | sort | uniq -c (spoiler alert: Ini is the most popular, with Any the second) and decide where the low hanging fruits are for replacement.
Is the current INI agent is plain C++ right now? I saw more naturally a design where the basic augeas agent is built as a C++ agent linking to libaugeas, and then the derived agents are specified as an .scr referencing ag_augeas and adding additional information like inlining the lense description. -- 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
