Drakxtools представляет собой набор скриптов и модулей, уникальный для Mandriva/ROSA написаных на Perl с GTK интерфейсом (точнее - с помощью собственной оболочки на Perl-GTK). Развитие Drakxtools десять лет назад, однако с каждым годом становится все труднее и труднее поддерживать и расширять их за счет не очень гибкой внутренней структуры и тонны унаследованного кода. Мы считаем, что большинство drakxtools не удовлетворяют современным требованиям и должны быть заменены на более удобные современные аналоги.
Некоторые мысли по замене drakxtools:
- Для многих инструментов есть аналоги в KDE4 Настройка рабочего стола
- ... Тем не менее, некоторые инструменты, действительно уникальны для Mandriva/ROSA, и в настоящее время мы не имеем никаких оценок, сколько времени потребуется, чтобы сделать их аналоги
- Для некоторых аналогов, инструменты KDE существует, но они являются отдельными приложениями (не входит в KDE Control Center)
- Некоторые инструменты ограничены в Mandriva инфраструктуре (Mandriva Club , логины вики и т. д.), поэтому они должны быть удалены в РОСА в любом случае. Вопрос, мы хотим сделать их аналоги?
- Еще одна уникальность для ROSA/Mandriva является Центр управления ROSA (Drakconf), которая является всего лишь оберткой, которая вызывает соответствующие инструменты с соответствующими параметрами
Возможная замена текущего конфигуратора Drakconf перечислены в таблице ниже.
Примечание
Если какой-то инструмент не установлен в системе, то соответствующий пункт меню в Drakconf не отображается. Так что, если некоторые пакеты не установлены по умолчанию, то пользователи не имеют соответствующей записи Drakconf в только что установленной системы. Вероятно, замены таких пакетов должны рассматриваться как низкий приоритет основной задачи.

The following tools are mentioned in Control_Center.pm, but it seems that they are absent in modern repos and we should not bother about them:
- "Manage park" => park-rpmdrake
- "Programs scheduling" => drakcronat
- "Remote Control" => rfbdrake
Drakbug
drakxtools also provide the 'drakbug' tool which is invoked when some drak* program is crashed. Users do report bugs using this tool in MDV bugzilla, it would be nice for us to have a replacement.

The following packages depend on the ones listed above:
| RPM | SRPM | Description | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| a320raid | a320raid | a320raid pcitable entries for Adaptec HostRAID support | Dependency on drakxtools seems to be superfluous and can be safely dropped. Last time the package was rebuilt for MDV 2007 |
| adp94xx | adp94xx | adp94xx pcitable entries for Adaptec HostRAID support | Dependency on drakxtools seems to be superfluous and can be safely dropped. Last time the package was rebuilt for MDV 2007 |
| adpahci | adpahci | adpahci pcitable entries for Adaptec HostRAID support | Dependency on drakxtools seems to be superfluous and can be safely dropped. Last time the package was rebuilt for MDV 2007 |
| bcd | bcd | Tool to build Mandriva ISO | ??? Drop, ABF possibilities to build ISO images are enough for us? |
| bootloader-utils | bootloader-utils | Utilities needed to install/remove a kernel. Also for updating bootloaders | Used by kernel, dracut, pm-tools. We'll have to rewrite this in any case when switching to Grub2 |
| drak3d | drak3d | 3D desktop effects tools | ??? Drop and use KDE System Settings instead Required by harddrake |
| drakbt | drakbt | The Mandriva Linux Bittorrent link and status checker | Drop. Current implementation is highly bounded to MDV infrastructure (Mandriva Club & co.). |
| drakcluster | drakcluster | Graphic interface to admin and setup the server cluster | |
| drakcowsay | drakcowsay | Graphical interface for cowsay | |
| drakfirsttime | drakfirsttime | The Mandriva Linux First Time Wizard | ??? Should go away if we develop a new installer. It is hard to get rid of drakxtools in the current installer, we can't use KDE tools there |
| draklive-install | draklive-install | Live installer | |
| drakoo | drakoo | This wizard is run on first run of OpenOffice.org and enables to select the default file format (either native OpenOffice.org one or Microsoft(R) Office) |
Drop. The way suggested in the drakoo (set DOC_DEFAULTS* variables in ~/.oofficerc) doesn't seem to work with LibreOffice. It is easier for users to choose default format in the LibreOffice itself (Tools - Options - Load/Save - General - Default file format and ODF settings). |
| drakpxelinux | drakpxelinux | Quick configuration of PXE menu parameters | |
| draktermserv | draktermserv | Terminal server configurator | Last time the package was rebuilt for MDV 2009.0 Required by terminal-server2 ("Terminal Server - Unionfs version") which was also not rebuilt after 2009. |
| drakwizard | drakwizard | drakwizard allows you to launch :
|
|
| gdm | gdm | The GNOME Display Manager | Requires drakx-kbd-mouse-x11 to ensure XFdrake is always installed. Can we just drop this dependency if we drop XFdrake itself? |
| gdm-220 | gdm-220 | The GNOME Display Manager | Why do we need both gdm-2.20 and gdm-2.32? According to Mattew, gdm-2.32 has some troubles with GNOME3, while gdm-220 works fine. |
| grub2 | grub2 | GNU GRUB is a Multiboot boot loader | Grub2 itself doesn't require draktools, but its current postinstall and preuninstall scripts invoke /usr/sbin/bootloader-config from drakxtools-backend This dependency will be dropped once we use grub2 as the only supported bootloader. |
| hsfmodem | hsfmodem | Conexant HSF controllerless modem driver for Linux | Dependency on drakxtools seems to be superfluous and can be safely dropped. Last time the package was rebuilt for MDV 2010.1 |
| hwdb-clients | hwdb-clients | Hardware database clients | Mandriva-specific package |
| ipw3945d | ipw3945d | Regulatory daemon for the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 (IPW3945ABG) Wifi adapter | Dependency on drakxtools seems to be superfluous and can be safely dropped. Last time the package was rebuilt for MDV 2009.0 |

| nautilus-filesharing | nautilus-filesharing | Filesharing extension for Nautilus | Drop. This is a Mandriva-specific Nautilus wrapper which invokes "diskdrake --fileshare" and accompanying scripts from drakxtools. However, Nautilus is able to share folders using Samba by itself. |
| old_rpmdrake | old_rpmdrake | Mandriva Linux graphical front end for sofware installation/removal | Drop. Was used to compare behavior of new rpmdrake with the old one. |
| suspend | suspend | Userland tools for suspend-to-disk and suspend-to-RAM | The package itself doesn't require draktools, but its postinstall script invokes /usr/sbin/bootloader-config from drakxtools-backend |
| task-ede | task-ede | Metapackage for EDE (Equinox desktop environment) | ??? Drop, doesn't seem to work in either case. |
