Its not the 'patterns' that Carl Hartung speaks of, so much as amount of stuff that is hardwired in. Its like pulling at a loose thread on your jumper. You end up with something other than what you actualy wanted.
SuSE has always had an issue with dependency hell. It gets better and then it gets worse. As for editing the patterns, when you deselect something useless and a security risk, like irDa, it breaks all kinds of other needed stuff(haven't checked 11.4 yet tho). Linux will always fail on the desktop because too many packagers feel the need to require too many things that aren't neccessary. As an owner of a small computer shop for years, I have NEVER had a customer who actually used these Desktop search tools. When I ask them if they use it and then explain what it is and how it can slow down their computer, they want it gone. I had a customer who worked for a lawyer who had over 1GB of word files she had transcribed. She didn't need the search, the lawyer did, and then he didn't use it. So, where's the benefit? For the average user? Not the developer. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
