I think I understand Robert's attached diagram
but I know that I do not understand your overview.
All what I pick from your overview is that when I want
to make a yast module for my specific config task,
it would be insufficient.
I see that additionally I have to care about stuff
like "rest service" and "lib shell" (whatever this is)
and I fear that I have to implement at least parts of my code
up to tree times - I won't do this - I would simply give up.
Furthermore I would be hit by whatever shortcoming
of the "common lib" which seems to sit in between my code
and the actual SYSTEM that I want to change. The "common lib"
may not exactly provide what I need for my specific config task
so that I would have to implement whatever workarounds...
Conclusion:
This YaST thingy is both insufficient and too complicated for me.
I will write my own setup tool in my own preferred language.
I know how to do it so that the tool does what I want.
If you like you could use me as some kind of "test case"
whether or not an individual contributor would like
to join the project.
What I mean:
The more the whole stuff is complicated (or oversophisticated),
the less likelihood that someone gets sufficiently interested
to actually contribute something.
Or in other words:
If the first attempt to make a simple setup tool fails
because the whole stuff is too complicated,
it was probably the last attempt.
Kind Regards
Johannes Meixner
