Hi Turnguard & Welcome,
Sounds like an interesting project!
I think your best bet would be to join the developer mailing list and also check the irc channels.
Look here for an overview of possible places to start: Communicate - openSUSE
There is a specific channel for YaST : irc://irc.opensuse.org/yast
These mailing list might be most relevant:
opensuse-factory+subscribe@opensuse.org
opensuse-packaging+subscribe@opensuse.org
yast-devel+subscribe@opensuse.org
zypp-devel+subscribe@opensuse.org
There are also localized channels available that can be found in the first mentioned overview.
Cheers,
Wj
YaST covers many aspects of the system configuration, but you seem to want the package management bit. That is handled by libzypp on top of RPM. Just “rpm -qa” might be all that you need. Also see /usr/share/doc/packages/rpm/manual/queryformat .
thanks, thats certainly a starting point, for the interested
there’s also a detailed page about rpm queries
