Question: Is zyp still being maintained or is it dead?

[perrsona1234]

Hello!
This tool is great and I wanted to ask if there are going to be any new changes made to it?
Or is it completely dead now?

No, zyp is not dead. I've kind of been taking a break from my projects for the past few months. I do plan on rewriting zyp at some point to make it more efficient and to make it not use any cache files when searching the OBS. I don't really have any plans to add new features, though. Is there anything you would like to see added?

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply to this.

Honestly, the only thing that I would really like, is to be able to remove unneeded & orphaned packages more easily, just like the apt autoremove command does this. There is already a command for orphaned packages, but not for unneeded ones.

And that's basically it. Integration with OBS already works quite well, also I like the output of zyp better, than the one from opi. Looks more clean and in my opinion it's more readable this way.
