FWIW, when I build this branch in the /testing_using_container.sh setup,

1. Compilation fails unless I zypper install glib2-devel
2. Then it fails because it cannot link -lzypp-glib ... so I will need to build a modified libzypp for that.

Thanks for the readme and the docs!

Right now the PR is a Draft targeting master. Do you have a plan to make it mergeable soon? Or is that unknown and to be determined in the review meeting and/or with Zypp team?

[jreidinger]

@mvidner plan is not to merge it now as it is build as part of cargo build in rust directory. So it is just draft to demonstrate it and start of discussion. Maybe we will need to hide it with some feature flag.

@jreidinger I have adjusted the setup script, to work in a agama-testing:latest podman container.

It still fails for me with distrobox + 2024-09-17 Tumbleweed (not root, sudo missing), I wonder why it works for you

[mvidner]

BTW we may want to set up the new zypp in /usr/local because after it gets installed, it interferes with package management 🤣

It could be as easy as
