 yast information,yeast   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
yast are a group of unicellular fungi a few species of which arecommonly used to leaven bread and ferment alcoholic beverages.
It is used as a model organism by biologists studying genetics and molecular biology (in particular the cell cycle) because it is easy to culture but as a eukaryote, it shares the complex internal cell structure of plants and animals.
The yast genome database [1] is highly annotated and remains a very important tool for developingbasic knowledge about the function and organization of eukaryotic cell genetics and physiology.

 Novell management tool going open source | CNET News.com
Novell's YAST move adds competitive pressure against rival Red Hat, which is using its Red Hat Network as a centerpiece to its utility computing technology.
In contrast, YAST's current license carries prohibitions on distribution: "Distribution of the YAST program, its sources...and the works derived thereof for a charge require the prior written consent of SuSE Linux," according to the license.
YAST lets a Linux user install the operating system and perform management tasks such as installing new software, adding hardware, and configuring options such as network and security settings.

 LWN: Novell management tool going open source (News.com)
I haven't used YAST for a while now (since SuSE 6.1 I think), but my main dissapointment with configuration tools in general is that most of them don't preserve the original file very well.
YaST is less than 1% of the whole software offer (although I recall SuSE used do put other proprietary stuff in their CD in the past).
And YaST comes with sources and with the right to change it for yourself and your friends (the distribution is only restricted if it is for profit).

Yast was jarenlang een van de onderdelen waardoor SuSE-Linux zich van de concurrentie wist te onderscheiden.
Yast bevat routines voor installatie, onderhoud en beheer van een Linux-computer welke gecontroleerd worden vanuit een centraal paneel.
Yast werd door SuSE namelijk jarenlang gekoesterd, mede vanwege de eenvoud in het gebruik.

 something or another… » YaST is not always so friendly   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Normally, I associate YaST, the system management console in SUSE Linux, to be the epitome of user-friendly UNIX administration.
I was trying to install some extra software, when YaST popped up an error window that asked me insert the SUSE 9.2 DVD in order for the installation to complete.
SUSE Linux Professional 9.3 is now out, but I would be willing to bet that it has the same user-unfriendly way of letting you know about this problem.

 LWN: Review of SUSE LINUX 9.1 Professional
YaST is one of the main components distinguishing SUSE LINUX from other Linux distributions.
Some users seem to have a love-hate relationship with the tool, although there is little doubt that YaST is a beautiful piece of software providing quick access to dozens of configuration options ranging from software and hardware configuration to networking and services.
Critics will argue that YaST is slow, it tends to reset some of the manually edited configuration files, and that some of the configuration files generated by YaST can be messy.

 eWEEK: Novell Makes System Managment Move With YaST
It is Novell/SuSE's plan and hope that YaST will become the platform that will tie together current system-management tools such as Novell's own ZENworks, Hewlett-Packard Co.'s OpenView, Ximian Inc.'s Red Carpet Enterprise, IBM's Tivoli and Computer Associates International Inc.'s Unicenter.
YaST had already been open source, but with the caveat that any business using it in a commercial distribution would have to sign a licensing agreement with SuSE.
SuSE changed its YaST policy to show the General Public License/Linux community that Novell/SuSE is serious about playing by the GPL's free software rules.

 SuSE-SuSE Firewall - Grokdoc
When a change to the IP settings is made and saved in yast / Network Devices / Network card, one can no longer connect to the outside world again until after also "tickeling" the settings over in yast / security and Users / Firewall.
Instead it would be much better to fix it in yast: Yast should automatically renew the firewall settings correctly whenever the final "continue" button is pressed in yast / network card.
If Yast were fixed properly, then the documentation would be fine as-is and there would be less for everyone to read,learn and remember.

 Ars Technica: SuSE 6.0 Review - Page 4 (3/99)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Aside from the installation process goodness that YaST offers, it's equally useful after you have put the CDs away and are ready to make your box work for you.
YaST, however, provides a nice level of abstraction between the user and the operating system.
You can use it to configure your networking, add/remove/partition disks and other peripherals, set up your mouse or modem, and handle several other things that are cumbersome if done from the command line--or even impossible if you are new to Linux and UNIX altogether.

Yast appeared to work fine, but I was not looking for integration issues.
During the demo, it was stated that Novell hopes YAST is used by other distros, thus making life easier on sys admins.
Who knows, they may even be working on better integrated YAST front-end I have no idea what all the above really means, but I thought I would throw it out anyway.

However, to spur development of third-party YaST-based applications, YaST had already been released to the open source community even before the Novell show, said Chris Schlaeger, Novell's VP for R&D, during an interview at BrainShare in April.
YaST is built into SUSE Linux Professional and Personal editions, in addition to the Enterprise product.
Speciifically, YaST's functionality currently includes features such as automatic detection of available hardware; proposals to users for resizing any Windows installations; automatic patch management; and configuration of Internet connections and printers.

Oh yeah, I hope they place yast already on mandrake 10.1, it dosen't need to replace now mandrake tools or mandrake installtion (that I think is great), but it should be avaible as optional tools.
I don't see why Yast would be different except if someone integrates the most generic components to KDE Control Panel for example.
The yast license was what was blocking the cheap 5$ cd sets of SUSE, so now SUSE can soon also be offered like that, just as Mandrake, FC, Debian etcetc.

Although YaST drew lots of attention among developers at BrainShare, the Linux installation and administration tool had been released to the open source community even before last month's show, noted Chris Schlaeger, Novell's VP for R&D. "All we've done with YaST (at BrainShare) is to change the license to GPL," Schlaeger said in an interview.
However, YaST is already used by some small businesses for simple network management tasks, such as adding a user or changing a directory, according to Rex.
YaST is already built into all three editions of SUSE Linux: Enterprise, Professional, and Personal.

 Novell to use YaST as rallying point | InfoWorld | News | 2004-03-19 | By Ed Scannell   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The project involves rallying top-tier vendors around Novell's YaST (Yet Another Setup Tool) management tool that will allow these companies to enable access to all current and future systems management tools and make it easier for systems integrators to glue together “solution stacks” made up of both open source and proprietary software.
YaST works with HP's OpenView, IBM's Tivoli, Computer Associates' Unicenter, and Novell's Red Carpet Enterprise and ZenWorks.
They believe YaST, because it is open source and has been around for several years, can provide relatively seamless compatibility with a wide range of hardware and software.

YaST needs the package data (name, version, dependencies, etc.) from the.rpm file in order to avoid reading the file over and over again.
You have a directory with a number of binary RPM files on your server and want to make it available as YaST installation source via HTTP or FTP.
YaST uses the file if the installation source is addressed by means of a protocol that does not support directory listing (such as HTTP).
