[yast-devel] Plans for alternates to YCP
Is there any plans for having alternate scripting langauges for YaST other than YCP? I think this would be a killer feature for developers, so that regular Joes who know programming can make YaST modules much easier, using languages such as Python, Perl, or even something like ECMAScript.... Of course, YCP will still be available to people who want it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org

Perl bindings do exist already and some YAST modules are implemented in it. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org

Right. The only problem with Perl is that you currently canot define UI in Perl. We are aware of this problem and intend to get this changed, however, I cannot guarantee any date. Python is language support of which we consider as well in the near future.
