Hola brave yast hackers! In order to get ready for re-introducing thread support into yast2-ncurses (post 10.3) I've improved UI::RunInTerminal builtin. As you may know, this builtin is ncurses-specific and it is very useful for calling external programs from text-mode interface. For example, running yast modules from the text-mode control centre menu in the same terminal is a common usecase. Another example is product-creator (Lado?), where you can enter gpg interactive mode via UI::RunInTerminal to generate keys to sign your product. Until recently, due to a bug (well, rather not implemented feature ;-) ) not all applications could be run via UI::RunInTerminal (as it was e.g. the case of w3m), as yast duly redirected their stdout and stderr into the y2log. After adding some file descriptor magic into y2-ncurses code, it now works. And - this is probably the most important - *Customer centre registration can now be carried out in the text-mode as well* To test the new improved yast2-ncurses, grab the packages from here: /work/built/mbuild/bragg-kmachalkova-504/ (only amd64 and i386). Note: they require new yast2-core B. -- \\\\\ Katarina Machalkova \\\\\\\__o YaST developer __\\\\\\\'/_ & hedgehog painter
