The previous implementation of opsi-script as a specially developed scripting language poses particular challenges in terms of maintainability, testability, and extensibility. With the increasing range of functions and growing complexity of the language, these aspects became increasingly relevant.

That is why we now want to transfer the project to a Python library. This eliminates the need to maintain our own language and instead allows us to access the Python ecosystem with its extensive tools for testing, automation, and development. These options will then also be available to you packagers when building OPSI packages.

In this presentation, we will introduce and explain our concept and the current state of development. We will also outline how the transition from the old to the new scripting language can be controlled and designed in a practical manner. We look forward to receiving feedback from your environments so that we can address any potential challenges at an early stage.
