Feature changed by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd)
Feature #310899, revision 13
  Title: Bring back yast2-repair (or alternative)
   
  openSUSE-11.4: New
  Priority
      Requester: Mandatory
   
  Requested by: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger)
  Product Manager:  (Novell)
  Documentation Editor:  (Novell)
  Partner organization: openSUSE.org
   
Description:
  yast2-repair was dropped due to fate#308679, bnc#541793.
  I suggest we take the effort and recreate similar functionality in a
  maintainable way. Even if incomplete, this would be a good signal
  moving forward.
  The rescue system is no alternative for end users.
   
  Documentation Impact:
  Remove all references of yast2-repair from documentation system_repair.
  xml, inst_yast2.xml, troubleshooting.xml, ...
  ... add info about any upcoming alternatives.
   
  Business case (Partner benefit):
  openSUSE.org: The repair feature was an unique selling point for
  openSUSE and SUSE based products. It gave users a feeling of
  reliability and confidence. It is absent in 11.3

  Yes, recreating the repair function would be great. Just had the case a
  an invalid windoze installation corrupted the mbr, so how to re-install
  grub? With the repair function it was in easy, without repair in 11.3
  it is nearly impossible....
  And by the way, Fate #308679 is not visible to normal users

  Please reinstate the System Log in YaST2 at least.
