Feature changed by: Michael Löffler (michl19) Feature #306404, revision 6 Title: Provide easily visible access to manuals - openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed + openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Frank Sundermeyer (fsundermeyer) Description: In openSUSE 11.1 it is almost impossible for a regular user to access the official manuals. By default, only the complete set of HTML manuals is installed, while the PDFs are not installed by default. There is no way of easily locating the packages containing them unless you know the package names. In order to improve this * the term "manual" has to appear in the package name or at least in the summary of the package * a Pattern "Manuals" is needed The HTML set is either accessible via the KDE or GNOME help center. This has certain disadvantages: * no proper search within the manuals * too many clicks are needed to access a manual * not printable * users of other GUIs have no easy access to the manuals (via the filesystem only) * in the past the help centers have made lots of trouble when integrating the manuals - on openSUSE 11.1, for example, the manuals are not displayed at all in the KDE4 help center, so being unaccessible for KDE4 users Therefore the PDFs have to be installed by default, too. Additionally an entry "Manuals" with links to the PDFs has to be added to the main menus of the GUIs (KDE, GNOME, XFCE,...). + Discussion: + #1: Michael Löffler (michl19) (2009-06-05 16:15:21) + Having the manuals accessible in the Help Center is sufficient, adding + pdfs imo just nice to have. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306404
