[New: openFATE 310507] Repo-Changing Notifications in Updater Applet
Feature added by: 6tr6tr 6tr6tr (6tr6tr) Feature #310507, revision 1 Title: Repo-Changing Notifications in Updater Applet openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: 6tr6tr 6tr6tr (6tr6tr) Description: Recently, the repository KDE:Community was taken offline and the packages in there were apparently distributed into other repos. As a user of openSUSE, the onyl way I discovered this was via a constant error in my updater applet that told me it was unavailable. Then I went to the forums with the error and was informed why. I was also told that there had been advance notice on some mailing list (a list that people who download and install openSUSE will nto be a member of automatically). This is a very poor way of handling this for users of openSUSE! What should have happened was this: * Update Applet checks for updates and sees there's a "Repository Change Notification." * It pops up this notification which reads something like: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Repository: KDE Community URL: http://...elided.../Community This repository is being removed on August 24, 2010. The packages maintained in here will be switched to numerous other repositories, some of which are new. To make sure you can update any packages/applications you have provided by this repository, you have two options: 1. Click here to have YAST handle the switch automatically. It will do the following: a. Add the New Repositories b. Check for any packages you have in this repository c. Switch the packages over to the new repositories 2. Do this manually. See instructions at: http://someurl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This popup then gives users of openSUSE advance notice and an easy way to handle switching the packages over and changing repositories. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310507
