Hi,

Currently, as far as I can tell, the user is prompted to send his smolt
profile on installation only. I would guess that this means the user
won't submit his profile after an upgrade to a new openSUSE version,
which sounds wrong to me.

Unless he manually re-sends or enables the smolt init script no.

Should we change this?

Automatically not no. I already had a lot of angry bugreports about the
sole existence of the service that would do this automatically. So the
only thing we could do is trigger a single run in the upgrade process.
With the greeter thingee that was as simple as touching some file
(/var/run/smolt_do_opensuse_run).

Also, by default, at least in GNOME, we just launch smoltGui which, hrm,
is not what is most interesting to submit the profile. I think what we'd
want here (at least for GNOME, again) is a really simple UI that asks
you if you want to submit your profile, and gives you the URL/password
afterwards.

This was part of the greeter. Its dead Jim ;)
