http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551662 Summary: Gtk interface of yast software management lacks key features from yast-qt-pkg Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: RC 2 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: badshah400@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091016 SUSE/3.5.4-6.1 Firefox/3.5.4 The gtk interface of yast lacks two key features that went in very late into the 11.2 cycle. These are 1. Switching all installed packages to those from a particular repository (this is not the same as selecting a repository and then choosing to upgrade all installed packages shown in the filter for solver related reasons; this feature is in response to a bug actually http://duncan.mac-vicar.com/blog/archives/619 ). 2. Showing orphaned packages is also done in yast-qt-pkg now. This is a much voted for feature, but was marked as done only recently. ( https://features.opensuse.org/300758 ) In my opinion, a feature can be marked done only if it works both on the qt and gtk interfaces. It would be really unfair if the KDE side of yast does these really cool things the GNOME side doesn't. Please try to have these included for 11.2. I love the gtk interface, and use GNOME; I do not see why I should be forced to use the qt version to enjoy some yast related coolness.
