Jano,

I was the one 'complaining' about zypper. ;-] You said you could use some help with improving zypper. How could I help?

It depends on what you want and are able to do. There are lots of ways to help. From fixing bugs, to developing features, giving ideas how to do a new feature, testing & sending us feedback, updating the zypper wiki, translations, and various other little stuff. Zypper is written in C++ and is stored in a git repository, so if you're familiar with these, you can jump into the development right away :O) Or you can propose how the overall install progress should look like - it's not easy to come up with some good looking and informative way to do this in a terminal, that would also be reasonably easy to implement (e.g. work with the limitation that only the very last line can be overwritten). See also http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper/Development http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper/Bugs_For_Adoption But you mentioned you like to use YaST. Are you sure you want to spend your time on a tool that you don't use all the time? :O) But if you're a good C++ developer, you can also hack libzypp - the library that powers both YaST and zypper. Let us know if something catches your interest.

I send it to you, because I get a bounce on zypp-devel@opensuse.org.

Hmm.. it seems the severs in Nuremberg have some problems. CCing the list, just in case it works now. -- cheers, jano Ján Kupec YaST team ---------------------------------------------------------(PGP)--- Key ID: 637EE901 Fingerprint: 93B9 C79B 2D20 51C3 800B E09B 8048 46A6 637E E901 ---------------------------------------------------------(IRC)--- Server: irc.freenode.net Nick: jniq Channels: #zypp #yast #suse #susecz ---------------------------------------------------------(EOF)---
