Feature changed by: 嘉樺 張 (iamchiahua) Feature #308434, revision 17 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. - PC-BSD is another good example. It supports two format(PBI,TGZ) for - software manager. The pbi format provided completely graphical - extraction & installation process. Also provided "Remove Programs" - system utility to easy removal. - This feature integrates the following two features. + PC-BSD is another good example. In version 8.0, it provide a new web- + based software browser for the software manager to visit pbi repository + site http://www.pbidir.com/ (http://www.pbidir.com/) (Maybe opensuse + can re-design like http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ + (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/) ) and support "download & + install PBIs in the background". But also provided windows-like "Remove + Programs" system utility to easy removal. + This feature integrates the following two features. May also include + the Software Portal project( http://en.opensuse.org/Software_Portal + (http://en.opensuse.org/Software_Portal) ). #305582: Off-Line one click install (MSI for Linux) + http://en.opensuse.org/OSI (http://en.opensuse.org/OSI) #305305: 1-click uninstall(MS Uninstaller for Linux) - 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
