Features

* almost two weeks until installation milestone
* open issues:
- multi line entries in ini files (product definition) look weird
- parser for product stuff is missing, kkaempf working on it
- solver error messages should mention products -> schubi
* aschnell: snapshot is more difficult than expected
perhaps not enough time for multipath
* schubi: Investigation into a YaST webservice based on the REST-style
protocol.
The webservice server (based on Rails) communicate via the
DBUS interface of SCR (made by Ladislav and Martin) with YaST
components.
Already running interfaces:
- managing services (start, stop, reload,....)
- setting time, timezone,...
- configure NTP
Next steps:
- additional functionality: setting user, root password,
firewall and network
- integration with policykit.
* shaas: diploma thesis: cim provider is ready
package is available in shaas' buildservice home project
