hi all ! Sorry for the stupid question, but I really want to know the direction of this idea. Generally, I believe in order to make newbies feel "at home", so they could learn Linux easier. Advanced ppl don't really need patterns (but it saves time even to advanced ppl)... I have opened a discussion about his topic: do we need to add "every" package to pattern to make it full, or just keep patterns *compact* ? This idea was used by RedHat from the ancient ages... Also in RedHat when a user selects a pattern so packages are "must-have" and are auto-selected while others are not. Do we wanna keep their principle ? =============================================== I have a better idea of organizing patterns UI: Ability to make one of 4 choices on each pattern, perhaps with a radio button. A. Unselected pattern (if user does not choose) B. Default Selected pattern. (if user chooses pattern, but doesn't touch the packages) C. Custom selected pattern. (if user chose pattern, and selected/deselected some packages - this must be shown) D. Fully selected pattern.(if user chose this with a radio button, or if he manually chose *every* package in this pattern) This idea is based on the concept that *every* package is included in at least 1 pattern. =============================================== Generally I like the patterns idea. -Alexey Eremenko. 27.10.2006. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
