Hi,
We modified the vzyum tool and created a similar vzapt tool. But
while doing that I figured that the current infrastructure (written in
shell) is somewhat insufficient to create clean, proper reusable code.
Also the config-files are pretty shell-oriented.
Are there any plans to redo them ?
Dag,
To be honest -- I'd love to. I suppose you want Python -- this is fine
with me. It'd be great to start from scratch, but be aware that
developing/maintaining package management tools leads to endless pain
and suffering (I assume you probably know that already:)).
So, we can set up a git repo (and a component in bugzilla) and start
working on some "next-generation package management tools".
Although I do not see any problem with "shell-oriented" config files.
They are easy to edit and can be easily read from any code (be it C or
Perl or Python or whatever). So, can you be more specific and tell us
why you don't like such configs?
Finally, I propose to move the discussion to devel@ list (to'ed). If you
agree, please reply to devel@ only.
