You can also run unit test, code coverage and some integration tests in the VM. Apart from that the VM is not so special, just the standard SDK is needed. > Remember what you need to do if you want to build an YaST package for SLE11 > - you > need installed yast2-devtools in the appropriate version + all tools used > (like > autoconf, automake,...) + the needed libraries.

Then it is not complicated at all. I always do development for old distributions in VMs. You need them for testing anyway. ciao Arvin -- Arvin Schnell, <[email protected]> Senior Software Engineer, Research & Development SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
