Hi:
I just subscribed to this list in order to offer assistance in order to
get Yast and systemd to interact in a nicer fashion.
I will assist you with patches and a lot of suggestions after the
decision of converting the YCP codebase into Ruby is taken and modules
are translated.
Here is the first and most important suggestion I have and I strongly
suggest you to consider it while creating/migrating modules from YCP to
Ruby.
- You MUST NOT talk (I can't find a way to emphasize this) to any
systemd component using systemctl, localectl, timedatectl or whatever
other command line utility, those are *human interfaces* and not
*programming interfaces*(exception "systemctl show") if you continue in
the current direction, it will bite you and rip and piece of your skin
pretty soon. Yast MUST communicate with systemd components using the
respective D-BUS API.[1][2][3][4]

A little bit of googling shows that mvidner has a repo in github
containing an implementation of ruby-dbus that will come handy for this
purpose.
That's all for now :-)
Cheers!
