Hi Novell and folks,

We’re developing a software (skype-like softphone) for different thin  
clients including SLE TC (latest version of it, based on SLED11SP1), for  
Wyse Linux actually. Wyse doesn’t not provide a development platform but  
merely end-user thin client so I’m asking my question here.

We need SLE TC SDK and a manual of how to develop an application for  
SLE TC and how to package it, since it is very different from SLED from  
developer’s point of view: it is squash-based and has read-only and  
read-write filesystems merged/united(unionfs probably?). Standard RPM  
package isn’t enough unfortunately. So it is hard to figure out without  
appropriate documentation how to create Add-On packages for SLE TC. Also  
it is unclear where to store user-specific config files and so on (since  
$HOME/.appname can be erased at reboot…) and it is unclear how to  
manage system settings form the application (like adding option to  
autostart it on general Gnome-based desktop means copying desktop entry  
file appname.desktop to $HOME/.config/autostart, but this doesn’t work  
for SLE TC since it doesn’t survive at reboot).

Can anybody help me in getting SLE TC SDK or point to the right  
direction?
