Gloves

Formerly known as YaST++

Overview

• Architectural Diagram
• The Architecture document

Main Reasons for Gloves

• Using well-known language: ruby ** wide community, good testing framework
• Role based access management ** Possible to define actions user are allowed to ** Front-end is run by regular user, in back-end is executed d-bus service with root access to the system
• Better modularity ** By splitting the business logic part (Glove) from UI (Qt, WWW), modules that borrow functionality from other ones do not need to import(install) their UI. ** Should end with smaller space requirements.
