I only read your email now. Been piling up emails for awhile now. :)
That sounds very cool. You should announce the project over the other
mailing lists, if you haven't already. This mailing list is pretty
narrow in scope.
I am a fan of Ubuntu, so I am excited to hear about this. Do notice that
the bulk of the porting work is not in porting the libyui component of
yast2, but the SCR agents and that kind of system-specific stuff.
Suggestions? I don't have any suggestions to make: my only suggestion is
not to hear to any suggestion. You have plenty of food in your plate as
it is. :)
Good luck!
