Hi, I have completed my proposal for 'Beautiful 1-Click Install'. It would be great if it could be reviewed. I am open to changes and criticism Hoping to hear soon,
Hi Saurabh, Thanks for considering this as your project for GSoC. I agree with your conclusions, I've always been a fan of this workflow but I have always been slightly uneasy about the monicker "1-Click-Install". In reality it's a series of clicks to finish the installation process, and often the workflow is interupted. For me the ideal workflow would present a dialogue with 3 choices which if chosen would complete the operation. 1) Install and be notified of updates (subscribe to repos) 2) Install this time only (do not subscribe to repos) 3) Do not install ymp files trigger this dialogue, if there are conflicts rollback the attempted package addition. Then present an interface that is much less confusing to newbies than our current conflict resolution dialigue. Cheers the noo, Grhaam
