Feature changed by: 嘉樺 張 (iamchiahua) Feature #308434, revision 15 Title: Ubuntu-like software center for Yast software manager openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: 嘉樺 張 (iamchiahua) Description: The 1-click install/uninstall software manager is more suitable for general users. They just need to know the software, rather than the package. The original package orientation software management is reserved for advanced users. Ubuntu software center(or MS XP Add or Remove Programs ) is a good idea to support the following two features (1-click install/uninstall) for Yast software manager. #305582: Off-Line one click install (MSI for Linux) #305305: 1-click uninstall(MS Uninstaller for Linux) PC-BSD is another example. It supports two format(PBI,TGZ) for software - manager. The pbi format provided Completely graphical extraction & + manager. The pbi format provided completely graphical extraction & installation process. Also provided "Remove Programs" system utility to easy removal. Discussion: #1: 嘉樺 張 (iamchiahua) (2009-12-02 14:01:07) Mainstream operating systems like Microsoft Windows or Apple Mac OS X has its own 1-click installer(msi for Windows,dmg for Mac OS X). It provides an easier way to install software and drivers. Opensuse now also have the osi(#305582: Off-Line one click install (MSI for Linux)). And they also have the 1-click uninstall program(Uninstaller for Windows, AppZapper for Mac OS X). Add this feature can make opensuse closer to the mainstream operating systems. It can be combined to provide a web site like http://www.apple.com/downloads/ (http://www.apple.com/downloads/) that everyone download osi package is a good idea(#306924: Software Store like AppStore/Android Market). This can be more effective marketing opensuse, but also more acceptable to all novice. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308434
