https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=369450 User jkupec@novell.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=369450#c1 --- Comment #1 from Ján Kupec 2008-09-30 10:28:25 MDT --- The output is written to /var/log/YaST/y2logRPM; since libzypp 5.12.1 to /var/log/zypp/history. See http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/Package_History for example. It is not optimal as an immediate notification, though. But when showing the output simply among the downloading/installing lines it can quickly scroll out of the screen. Any ideas for a better solution (like e.g. Debian's debconf), or should we just display the output of rpm when installing/removing packages with zypper? -- 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.

In my case, VMware-Workstation is not even properly installed, since it does the whole installation process in %post (as drain bammaged as it is). Sure, output is scrolled away, but if you redirect it to some file additionally, it's not lost and most terminals have some way of scrolling up. Thus, yes, sure, this is a genuine bug in my book, not simply some user inconvenience. -- 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.

That way, you force those silly rpm creators to rethink their sillyness or - you convince your bosses to buy VMware and force them that way to create proper rpm packages. But until then, please cope with standard rpm behavior. If you change only Novells version of rpm, the web will fill up with silly "Novell blocks VMware products" statements. Do you want that? (I bet, your management will intervene at this point). Sure, I hate the VMware-Workstation rpm behavior. It's brain devastated. It's effectively ostracising package management (which is one important reason for me to keep using your products). But my users depend on VMware-Workstation, which allowed me to run SUSE Linux desktops diskless in a commercial setting since 1998, and believe me, it's hard enough to keep up even without any package management handling issues. -- 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.

There's a similar report assigned to Ladislav, because pkg-bindings still try to read this additional output from y2logRPM, which no longer exists (bug #456446). But we could report the additional rpm output (warnings or output from scripts) via the existing virtual void finish( Resolvable::constPtr /*resolvable*/ , Error /*error*/ , const std::string &/*reason*/ ) {} With error==NO_ERROR we could pass the additional output as 'reason'. -- 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.

The string is readu for being printed. I suppose just zypper/src/callbacks/rpm.h has to be adapted. In case of success any non-empty reason string should be written to stdout.
