Description

When refactoring zypp we more than once thought about having a zyppd that can run in the background, multiple zypper instances could connect to it receiving current operations and, if the user rights match, control the operation.

Goals

• Have a simple zyppd with some clearly defined protocol running
• Investigate protocol options: dbus vs json-rpc
• Simple frontend that can connect and run some task

Resources

• C++ / C compiler
• libzypp/zypper source code
