Hi, good work, few notes: > > 1. libYUI and all three UI plugins (Qt, ncurses and GTK) have been > ported to target systems (Fedora and Ubuntu). > > 2. The git repository at gitorious.org/libyui/libyui has been removed. > This will be replaced with the official YUI svn repo once the > conversion is complete. The old repo can be found at > gitorious.org/libyui/gsoc2011 and will contain files related to my > project. Why you return back from git to svn? And why you use gitorious instead github which is better service from my POV? > > 3. Builds now make use of OBS.

Due to CMake issues on Ubuntu 11.04 with the GTK CMake module (Bug > report : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cmake/+bug/751940 > ), builds using CMake have failed. Moreover, the default install > location for gdk-pixbuf on F14 and F15 are different which caused the > GTK plugin build to fail on F14 as well. > > 6. I have converted the GTK plugin to use autotools as opposed to > CMake. This has made it compile successfully in Ubuntu 11.04 using > pkg-config and I hope, it will compile of F14 as well. I will be > updating the GTK package on OBS this week. Hmm, cmake is more advanced solution then autotools. I think that if this is case and it is already fixed, then support only the latest build or modified build is enough solution ( or you can link to your project new cmake to make it compile, so target RPM is fine). > > 7.
