YaST++/-- is just codename for project. Packages ( now located at https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=YaST%3AHead%3Ayastpp ( not all packages packaked yet, WIP ) has own names, which is not problem for RPM. Josef
The project's name is 'YaST++', in git it's called 'yast--' and the buildservice projects is 'yastpp'. That's somehow inconsistent and might confuse newbies. I'd prefer a unique name.
YaST++ is the same comparing to YaST2 as C++ to C :) At least that's how I understand the codename. Yes, YaST++ is YaST2 incremented by one. Please don't call it YaST3!
yastpp just translates the ++ to pp, IMO ++ in RPM is OK as several C++ packages with ++ in their RPM name are already in our distro. As long as + or - don't cause conflicts I'm fine with it. But you never know.
I'm also for unification, but I believe ++ is not an issue. The earlier, the better. The question is if the new name should/must contain the word 'yast". On the one hand it would be a good point in time for a new name in order to abandon all these silly myths like "yast is slow and overwrites files" cited by people who haven't used YaST for years. One the other hand the brand "YaST" has a great reputation in the community and among system administrators. According to them is YaST _the_ configuration tool that makes the difference. That's the reason why I think we should stick with the name "YaST".
Cheers, Thomas
Well, I don't care much about names, but to prevent confusion, YaST++/--/pp is not YaST2! YaST++ is project more likely to separate functionality from representation and for easy share. So it is possible ( and expected) that in future there will be together yast++, Yast for representation on desktop and WebYaST for representation on web and other possible users of functionality. If you know better name I welcome it and start using it ( as I said, I don't care much about names, more about functionality and usability ).
