Hi!
I compiled YaST and one yast module (yast2-iscsi-client as an example that it works) on Fedora Core 9:

This is of course only first step to make it really usable or really cross-distribution upstreamed tool.

I compiled also libzypp/zypper and do some tests to compare their speed (installation source is local CD):

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# time echo "y"|yum install rpmlint
