[Yast4debian-devel] Re: Yast4Debian

[Ramon Acedo]

Hi Felipe!

thanks for your interest in the project. The status of the project was
that
it started to work with the old version of YaST and some modules. 

Now the YaST source code has changed a lot and is divided in "layers" 
as far as I know it should be easier to port it to other distributions
but
I haven't checked the new code.

The first thing to try again would be to compile the new code under
Debian.

In the list
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/yast4debian-devel,
(I'm sending this email to the list), there are some guys developing
YaST for SuSE .

In the list there are also some Debian Developers interested in helping
to package
once we have something ready to use.

You can find the sources here:
http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/YaST
but you can also download the src.rpm from the official SuSE repository.

Thanks for your interest!

Ramon
