I just cloned your git repo, hoping to find source code to build, but
there is none.

I'd recommend to remove the binary rpms from the git repo and create a
project on build.opensuse.org for building packages instead.

All the examples are in C++ currenlty. Did you know that SWIG bindings
exist for libyui, so one can code YUI in other languages ?
See

for details.

This is very welcome !


Keep up the good work !
