[Kimchi-devel] Fwd: Proposal for moving functionality from Kimchi to Ginger

[Daniel Henrique Barboza]

Hi Walter,

We've had this discussion with the community a few months ago in the thread

"[RFC] Moving some features of Host tab to Ginger"

And we agreed to start it by moving only Software Update, Repositories and
Debug Reports from Kimchi to Ginger.

The Basic Information and System Statistics can't be taken away from 
Kimchi because there
are relevant information for the creation of VMs there, such as Memory 
Available. But I agree
that these information fits nicely in Ginger too.

One alternative (just came in my head now) is to move these "neutral" 
functions
to a "Basic System Info" in WoK. That way both Kimchi and Ginger users 
can access
the information.


Thanks,


Daniel
