Hey there,
I understand that you guys don't go with Yast-GTK by default (the package
selector should still be loved for a bit longer :)), but it would be nice if
you did the needed arrangement to /sbin/yast2, so if people choose to install
it and are using Gnome/XFCE, that frontend is used.
You need to start by adding a check_gtk function
to /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/yast2-funcs. Just copy check_qt and change the value of
Y2_QT to $plugindir/libpy2gtk.so.2 . You probably also want to rename that
variable. ;)
The /sbin/yast2 on factory is probably different than the one from 10.1,
since that one is ugly and there is even an indication that reads "TODO:
(...) refactor after release". In any case, one just needs to search for "qt"
and hack there. Test it well to make sure it fallbacks nicely.
10.1 changes would be like:
- if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ] || ! check_qt ; then
+ if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ] || (! check_qt && ! check_gtk); then
(...)
- $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" qt "$Y2_GEOMETRY" $Y2QT_ARGS
+ FRONTEND="qt"
+ if check_gtk && (echo $WINDOWMANAGER | grep -qi "gnome" || \
+ echo $WINDOWMANAGER | grep -qi "xfce" || \
+ ! check_qt) ; then
+ FRONTEND="gtk"
+ fi
+ $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" $FRONTEND "$Y2_GEOMETRY" $Y2QT_ARGS
Now with the Novell's Gnome menu, you should be able to open a window with
the Yast setup tools, rather than using y2controlcenter. You are probably
already doing this, no?
It would also be cool if you could ship with a yast-gtk rpm somewhere in the
cds, so people could install it easy.
Cheers,
Ricardo
