--- Comment #8 from Camaleon --
The renewed UI, hopefully to be shipped with M8, should be more friendly to past Qt UI users.
PackageKit should also be featured in the Gnome LiveCD.
But sure enough, let's bring your case to the guys with muscle here. I'll drop a comment into bug 529046. Feel free to make any rectification or further commentary, or wait to hear from Vincent -- notice that Vincent is attending the OpenSuse conference so he might take his time to reply.
Thanks! I am going to add my standpoint into that bug :-)
Maybe some features are less visible in one UI than the other, but they should be feature par. e.g. GTK "hides" package Lock under the context menu. Qt UI makes version micro-selection little easy to use. So they do make different UI trade-offs, but hopefully you can get the same results out of both frontends while possibly applying different efforts. If there's a dept the GTK UI lacks on, bugzilla will be open 24/7. ;)
Sure. That would require another bugzilla report :-)
The one software manager still lacking is PackageKit, which is one reason why it still hasn't made it to default. (The features lacking are pretty unimportant for most uses, but it makes little sense to have two managers.)
Mmmm, you never know when a gtk-qt-ncurses interface would be useful. I know (by reading the forums) there were a lot of users ("kde" users) wanting to launch the GKT-based YaST because of the problems about Qt4/Qt4.5 mixed packages that rendered qt interface unoperable :-)
In 11.1, yast2-qt does seem to be featured in the Yast pattern, albeit not in the Gnome pattern. So maybe that's how it sneaked through, but that'd be a bug, not a feature.
Would be nice to have the 3 ones under any environment O:-)
I don't think yast2-qt requires extra dependencies, so the RPMs for yast2-qt and the respective control center total about 1 Mb. Not sure how that would be in the Live CD compression scheme, but I'd be surprised if it was significantly larger. It does seem like a pittance, but the Gnome LiveCD always seems to be bursting at the seams. Only those guys can tell you how valuable that size is.
O.k...
Oh boy. Not sure why that would be. If you are still using the 64-bits LiveCD, of course you want to use the x86_64 packages. Other than that, dunno.
O.k. Don't worry about that. And thanks so much for all your comments on this issue! :-) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
