Feature changed by: Bidossessi SODONON (bidossessi)
Feature #307942, revision 10
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"

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.

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.
#3: Clayton smaug42 (smaug42) (2009-10-08 09:15:28)
Another vote yes. The questions I get asked most by new users is...
"What just happened to the software installer? Did it work? Why doen't
this work like synaptic?" Setting the default to a summary would be a
HUGE improvement. As well... offering an option within the package
manger to toggle the summary off if advanced users don't want it would
be very useful.

Errr.. make that return to the package installer screen not summary :
+ #5: Bidossessi SODONON (bidossessi) (2009-11-04 11:17:21)
+ I don't think anything needs to be said about that:
+ The installer window disappearing, without close request, or feedback,
+ is not the expected behaviour, in any system , period.
