We build some Ubuntu packages at YaST:Head:Travis [1] OBS project, but these packages are used at Travis CI (see e.g. [2]) for running tests which simulate the system access so we do not need the modules to really work in Ubuntu, we just need the Yast infrastructure there. You can install the Yast packages in Ubuntu 12.04, but that's all what you can do right now. There is no UI library packaged for Ubuntu and the modules would very likely not work anyway. They could even completely mess up the system into an unusable state. (So if you want to play with it a VM is the preferred playground...) > We already build YaST on Build Service [1].

Yes, the problem is that the distributions differ to much - different packaging (deb vs. rpm), package names, package versions, file locations, system scripts, system services (systemd vs initd vs upstart), gcc and Ruby versions, etc... Unfortunately we do not have resources to support other distributions, sometimes we have problems to keep up with changes in our Factory... We would need help from the community to make Yast usable in other distros. We welcome any patches sent, but we are unable to actively support anything beyond openSUSE and SLE.
