First YaST2 module working on Debian
Hi all,
thanks to pikota's effort and will we already have a module
working under Debian. The first module we thought that should
work without many problems was the users module and it's finally
working.
A screenshot of it in action can be found here:

At the moment we haven't uploaded de .debs because they are done
with checkinstall and this is not the best way (any DDs out there? :-)
Next steps:
- Package it and create a repository in alioth. Creating a repository
is not a problem but packaging it correctly would be better done by
Jaldhar or any DD willing to help.
- Update the documentation. Me and Jose Luis will do it in the next
days.
- Do the same with the QT libraries (right now we have tried out only
with ncurses but pikota got QT working last week).
- Upload some screenshots to the website. Mario?
- Think about which module would be more attractive to people and start
working on it (everyone of us :-).
Future steps:
- Remove all the rpm stuff and use libapt instead.
Personally I think that configuring the network with YaST4Debian would
be very useful as right now, apart from the gnome system tools, there
are no many apps out there, are there? then working on yast2-network
makes sense for me. Any other suggestions?
BTW, the translation modules work perfectly as well.
Keep in touch,
Ramon
