It should be possible to disable and remove the whole ZMD stuff
and still be able to work from commandline.
For this is missing:
- commandline installation source management (installation_sources equiv.)
- commandline package installation (basically the yast -i pkg thing)
- commandline online update (online_update equiv.)
- non-root usage:
- at least for list updates
(ZMD permissions are not useful)
- Also a update management system agnostic YOU watcher.
The old one just ran "online_update" and parsed its output.
Only for the actual update it required the root password.
We could port the old one to run "rug", or whatever other
equivalent.
The ZMD permissions handling is too permissive and too difficult
to understand in my eyes.
Ciao, Marcus
