Project Description
Currently we are in a situation with libzypp where we have a C++ based and hard to use API. Due to the nature of C++ it's basically impossible to use it from other languages like Rust or even Python.
In the last hackweek I layed the grounds for calling into libzypp via GLib, so I'm going to improve on that trying to wrap the legacy reports into a new style report API and maybe expose more functionality.
Goal for this Hackweek
- Wrap new C++ event API in GLib-C
- Catch and forward legacy reports via said API
- Expose more functionality as we go
I already started to look into it, development will be done here: https://github.com/bzeller/libzypp/tree/zyppng-api

So during the hackweek I managed to set up a very basic GObject based API that is able to initialize libzypp, list the names of all currenty known repositories and use the new async libzypp API to download a file. This is a good start and we should be able to build on it.
You can see the resulting python script that is controlling libzypp here
