Why do users select different versions in the first place? AFAICS in most cases this is because they want the version from another repository. In other words, they want to give another repository more priority: For example, "update all my KDE packages to the latest from kde.org". Doing that for a large number of packages with the current mechanism is indeed cumbersome. But then, you don't want to do that for a large number of packages anyway; you want some way to tell the system "get me all the packages from kde.org, not from opensuse.org". What we really need here is priorities for repositories. I know that the libzypp team discussed that for some time, but I don't know the current status. Duncan? Michael? For single packages, IMHO the current mechanism to select another version works nicely, in particular much more nicely than any pop-up menu from the package list as mentioned above. The information we could display there would be very limited. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But this is about HOW to actually select it. Personally I like the idea of a right-button menu listing version, architecture! and repo (maybe vendor,...) in addition to the version tab. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
