Still hard to understand, but I hope it's not relevant for my case. ;-)
I fear it is. "ignoreA.R.=1" or `ADD_ALREADY_RECOMMENDED=0` (the default) is the option _not_ to automatically fill up the recommendations of already installed packages. YASTS permanent use of 'ADD_ALREADY_RECOMMENDED=1' destroyed small/minimal systems, as even unrelated installs added _any_ deleted or willingly not installed package immediately again. AFAIR that's the main reason why PM requested not to use the option permanently, but to offer a special mode in YAST (like `zypper inr`). What you call the `feature of autoselecting the nvidia driver' is also the `bug of destroying small/minimal systems`: The inability of deleting/not-installing recommended packages, because YAST immediately re-installs them. This is basically still valid and true. Downside of 'ADD_ALREADY_RECOMMENDED=1' (in YAST as well as in 'zypper inr') in the past: Either _all_ missing recommendations were installed (IGNORE_RECOMMENDED=0), or none at all (IGNORE_RECOMMENDED=1). This is fixed by the current implementation: 'zypper inr --recommends' (IGNORE_RECOMMENDED=0, ADD_ALREADY_RECOMMENDED=1) adds _all_ missing recommended packages (incl. hardware supplements etc.). {like before} 'zypper inr --no-recommends' (IGNORE_RECOMMENDED=1, ADD_ALREADY_RECOMMENDED=1) adds _no_ missing recommended packages BUT will add missing hardware supplements etc. (new} -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
