OpenSUSE recently announced the development of a new graphic interface tool called yqpkg for managing software packages. This tool is built as a standalone application using the YQPACKAGELECTOR component from YAST, without being tied to Yast itself. Instead of Yast components, yqpkg directly utilizes libzypp for package management. The code, written in C++, is distributed under the GPLV2 license and the interface is based on the QT library.
Yqpkg offers functionalities such as installing, updating, and removing packages, checking dependencies, and providing detailed information about packages. Currently in the alpha phase, the program lacks certain features like working with repositories, updating repository status, and importing GPG keys.
