Hi,
Could someone post a few details about what libzypp actually does and how it interacts with ZMD ? Is it an abstraction and/or API to ZMD and rug ?
No, the other way round: zmd and rug use libzypp's API.
Is libzypp the one capable of handling yast2/ZMD repos and RPM-MD ?
Yes.
Or is it ZMD/rug ?
No, both of these go through libzypp.
When using RPM-MD repos in yast2, does it still go through ZMD ?
No, YaST works if zmd is not even installed. You can do: rpm -e libzypp-zmd-backend zmd rug and YaST will still work. (Except for the so-called registration.) Andreas Hanke -- Bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten sparen: GMX SmartSurfer! Kostenlos downloaden: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/smartsurfer
