[yast-devel] Status of YaST bindings for common programming languages.
On a factory mail list I mentioned that one can program modules for YaaST in ycp which is known to small number of people that are busy, and that prevents writing YaST modules by programmers that use common languages. It would be interesting to know status of bindings, so that we can advertise that as a possibility. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org

Hi, I can talk just about ruby bindings that I maintain and it should work without problems. For examples what is possible see https://github.com/yast/yast-ruby-bindings/tree/master/examples/ruby If you find a problem feel free to report it and I try to fix it. There is some known issues, usually we are limited what ycp can do. Limitation that is there now: - from ycp you can call only ruby class methods - optional parameters is not possible ( because ycp cannot do it ) - limited expection handling ( ycp doesn't have exception, so ruby bindings catch exception and add method with description of method ). We already have some code in ruby that is called from ycp ( see gloves or in webyast it is used ), so at least basic functionality is guaranted. And I can fix issues quite quickly, so if you find some blocker for you, I can look at it quickly.

The most used and mature binding is for Perl, as shown by this search: find /usr/share/YaST2/ -name \*.pm The Python binding is the least used, if at all. We'd like the Ruby binding to be the best.

Well, actually there is a YaST module _completely_ written in Python including the UI (there's no YCP, just pure Python with YCP bindings to use some common YaST functions) See https://github.com/yast/yast-mysql-server -- Ladislav Slezák Appliance department / YaST Developer Lihovarská 1060/12 190 00 Prague 9 / Czech Republic tel: +420 284 028 960 lslezak@suse.com SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org

Oh, I see. It is not in the build service. No results here: http://software.opensuse.org/package/yast2-mysql-server -- Martin Vidner, YaST developer http://en.opensuse.org/User:Mvidner Kuracke oddeleni v restauraci je jako fekalni oddeleni v bazenu
