Edward78 While I have no doubt that at some point in the distant future Josh and I will decide to develop something like YaST, we wouldn't just use it in Solus:
I think the Solus Software Center is really great, very clear and not overloaded, if I have my way, it can stay that way
putzerstammer Thank you for the kind words. I agree that our Software Center was a good start, but there are countless improvements that should and need to be made to it, that we'll be excited to facilitate with a rewrite alongside the new package manager.
I mean the configuration part of YaST, the install/package sys of Solus is great, The config part of YaST seems to have a tool for everything & it is not hard to change things.
I think we have different opinions on YaST. To me, it's a complete mess and the amount of configuration it provides would overwhelm almost every user, with options they're never likely to use and have no reason to be exposed via a GUI.
JoshStrobl count me another non-fan. while testing distro xxx, yast was shiny redunancy since system settings did the same thing. So despite Sudo, system settings either over-ruled Yast or Yast would over-ride system settings. messy,
JoshStrobl like as plasma settings)) (more more settings)
JoshStrobl it might be a silly question, but eopkg package will be compatible sol package? And which compression algorithm will be applied?
George
Well
Aka eopkg is shit.
George Who rewrites a package manager just to change a compression codec? It's just a format change and a well-designed package manager handles this just fine. Even eopkg
could be pretty reasonably modified to support zstd
compression, but that's hardly the only thing I would want to fix in a rewrite. The list is so long that it's easier to burn it to the ground and start fresh. @Harvey has a pretty good summary of the main points that most interested people would care about.
thnx @DataDrake and @Harvey. Solus community is the best! together we are Solus
JoshStrobl Well ya that is a good point, it prob. will overwhelm most users. Mostly I like the boot manager, a 100% GUI for all settings.
