Hi everyone,
openSUSE has just been accepted at Google Summer of Code 2006! ... We are now looking for ideas, proposals, projects, etc. around openSUSE and SUSE Linux, that could be worked on in Google Summer of Code. As the period of application for SoC is already very short, we need to get our proposals for project online May 1st, 2006, at the latest.
So, for example, if you are missing a certain YaST module, or a special feature in the distribution, speak up now!
Our proposals will be publish on http://en.opensuse.org/SoC2006 shortly.
Regards Christoph
Hi all, I have one idea - its about to union ability of YAST System Update and drpmsync, so System Update can do update using drpmsync mirrors. In that case, Yast System Update do not need to download the whole rpm-package of package A ver. 0.1 to update it to 0.2.1. It only need to download the delta of that rpms and apply it. It will decrease bandwidth for all, and decrease cost of update for some users. As i know, realizing that feature require the modification of the client subsystem and a server-side infrastructure.
