Although this has been on my wishlist too (I've been wanting to use code/ideas for my own distro), I must agree with Michelle that it's slightly short-sighted to focus on YaST2. There are many projects and distros that accomplish (parts of) the same (GST, NetworkManager, Redhat's config tools, Mandrake's, Config4GNU, Progeny's python-based Configlets, even a few tools I hacked together for Morphix). If you want to gain support for porting YaST2, you'll have to do that what you didn't want in the first place: discuss why you want this, what would be the focus and under what flag you want to do this. Only in this way will you get enough people behind you (you'll still have to 'show the code' first though) Personally, I see more in DebianControlCenter. It's more modular and flexible than any of the existing tools (even GST). The problem with this is that there's no code yet, but the ideas are spot-on. I guess that explains my main problem with Debian: lots of good ideas and talk, not enough code ;-) rant on, Alex -- /------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Alex de Landgraaf | I disapprove of what you say, | | Student AI & CS, VU, A'dam | but will defend to the death your | | Phone: 06-16844084 | right to say it | | GPG: http://www.alextreme.org/key_alex.asc /'-'\ | | www.alextreme.org & www.morphix.org ( o o ) | \------------------------------------------oOO0--(_)--0OOo---------/
