kernel-default: Install this kernel only if you know exactly what you are doing. YaST installs the correct kernel for your system automatically.

tpctl: These programs cannot be used on machines other than IBM Thinkpad.

These messages should either be shown by both the qt and ncurses variants, or not at all. My recommendation is for the latter.

Those install-notify messages are annoying, alright. But if a package has any, it's the package selector's job to display them. If we find that certain of them are not informative (which is certainly true for many of them), they should be deleted from the PDB -- where they come from. Install-notify messages have always had limitations in that they only ever get displayed if the user explicitly selects a package for installation, not if a package gets selected via dependencies (including patterns or similar higher-level package objects). It's not up to us as the maintainers of the package selectors to decide which of those messages to display and which not. Displaying them according to the policy described above was part of the requirement specs for the package selectors. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=308410#c3 Katarina Machalkova changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |ASSIGNED --- Comment #3 from Katarina Machalkova 2007-09-07 04:51:20 MST --- @comment #1: No, it's not related at all :) These messages are part of the package (we use zypp::ResObject->insnotify() method to retrieve them) and notifying user about possible drawbacks of installing this particular package is exactly why they have been invented. Therefore I would be against removing them completely. The only difference is that Qt UI shows them only when package is marked for installation, while ncurses UI does so in case of installation OR update (that's why these msgs keep popping up during system update). That is something I may change, to make both UIs consistent -- 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.
