Drop yast-in-container in favor of tagged containers
We have now three "official" containers for YaST. available at: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/SUSE:ALP:Workloads The repository is called "SUSE:ALP:Workloads" and, as such, is supposed to provide containerized workloads to be executed on top of ALP. But in our case, we have decided it will be the official source for containerized YaST, no matter if you execute it on top of ALP, the latest SLE, the latest Leap or openSUSE Tumbleweed. So from now on, you can execute containerized YaST anywhere by doing: podman container runlabel run registry.opensuse.org/suse/alp/workloads/tumbleweed_containerfiles/suse/alp/workloads/yast-mgmt-ncurses:latest (replace "ncurses" by "qt" or "web" to enjoy the alternative versions) The URL is a bit redundant and maybe it will change in the future, but that's out of the control of the YaST Team. In any case, we will always use the official URL for ALP workloads. To create the containers, we honored the process to submit workloads to ALP and the rules to create openSUSE containers[1]. That implies we use tags to specify the command that needs to be executed to get the container running. The usage of tags kind of obsoletes our yast-in-container script. So we will drop the package from Tumbleweed (we never submitted it to other distributions like ALP) and we will drop the corresponding repository as soon as we find new places for some documentation that is there and still may be useful.
