What is the YaST2-GTK project

YaST2-GTK is a GTK+ interface module for Suse's setup tool. The effort was started by Michael Meeks, and taken off as Google's Summer of Code project assigned to Ricardo Cruz.

All the tools differ little, with the notable exception of the software manager and the online updater. Here's a shot of the software manager:

May I try? May I try?

Sure. You may checkout SVN with the following command:

svn checkout http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/trunk/gtk/

The required packages are all bundled on Suse's CDs and are specified on the README. It also tells you how to compile and install the code. Don't be afraid of installing it -- this is just a plugin and the install procedure involved only the copy of a file to your system. It is only used when requested, and Yast will display its Qt or ncurses face as before.

Use Novell's bugzilla to report bugs, or to suggest improvements. Choose YaST2 as the component, and add the "gtk" keyword on the subject («yast-gtk», «GTK-UI», ...). For discussion, use yast's mailing list: mailto:yast-devel@opensuse.org .

For technical information, refer to the HACKING file.
