[yast-devel] yast debugger?
Is there such a thing? It would be nice to do a yast -d ... ---- Roberto Angelino Dedicated Partner Engineer (310) 529-3527 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org

We had one for a while, but it wasn't maintained very much. Also, we found that with the complexity of most of our YaST2 modules (system administration is by no thing an easy task) a debugger would have to be much, much more powerful than what we could realistically develop and (equally important) maintain. Our most important debugging tool is logging.

It was a simple one and so it did not needed much maintenance :-) And I don't think it would be difficult to revive it. Don't confuse the complexity of the application with the complexity of its runtime environment. A good topic for the upcoming workshop.

True. That's why I havent felt much pressure to revive the debugger yet.

You know, I've been spoiled by perl -d ... There's nothing like wanting to know what the heck is going on and just debugging it to see the thing work without having to add printk/printfs all over the code. A debugger makes debugging less time consuming. I am of the opinion that all languages should have debuggers... But then it is my opinion only....

Please revive it!!! -robert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
I've been looking on opensuse.org and forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc and it talks about how to use the UI and how to use yast. Where are the docs that describe the yast language?

At this location http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/ you can see several products: SL10.0 - SL10.2 SLES9 - SLES10 SP1 Every product has its own documentation of the YaST language (YCP). The latest one: http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/SL10.2/ Reference — YCP Language http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/SL10.2/tdg/Book-YaSTReference.html Reference — User Interface http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/SL10.2/tdg/Book-UIReference.html Just enter the directory and browse the menu on the left side.
