Feature changed by: Dean Hilkewich (deanjo13) Feature #307942, revision 6 Title: change YaST PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT behavior from EXIT to RESTART openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: andrea florio (anubisg1) Description: YaST exit after a packageinstallation appear as crash. According to /etc/sysconfig/yast2 # The summary dialog is always displayed when an installation error has occured. So, set value to summary is not useful, since the only time I need to read a summary is when something fail. I think the best solution is to do as any other package manager on debian/ubuntu, mandriva, fedora, does, just go back to "package search/selection" screen. That means set as a default PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT="restart" Discussion: #1: Rajko Matovic (rajko_m) (2009-10-08 01:17:21) Any feedback is better then simple exit without any notification what happened. Summary can be helpfull for some cases, but at the moment I test it so I can't say exactly what is good about it, or even do I want it as default, but I'm sure I want to see package manager after installation, as that is both, feedback and what I expect to see. I'm sure that I'm not alone annoyed, when right after system installation, I look for additional packages, and every time I install something the dummy exits. Like he knows better what I want. + #2: Dean Hilkewich (deanjo13) (2009-10-08 01:47:03) + Absolutely have this the default. I requested this as soon as I saw + the aweful way YaST Package Manager behaved back in 11.1. I also asked + that settings be persistant (such as show debug packages) once + set. The way it is right now it really blows. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307942
