[Bug 450003] New: "zypper dup" requests confirmation of product license
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450003 Summary: "zypper dup" requests confirmation of product license Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: RC 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: adrian@novell.com ReportedBy: kkaempf@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: visnov@novell.com, dmacvicar@novell.com, jkupec@novell.com Found By: --- zypper still requests an explicit confirmation of the openSUSE product license. Since the license was changed to an 'informational' one for RC1, zypper should also just display it without the need for a confirmation. This is probably to be changed in the package metadata of opensuse-release and is not a zypper bug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But it won't be much work to add it, we just need some flag to tell the licenses which need confirmation from the licenses that don't. But AFAICS, all the difference would be in the prompt text. Currently it is something like "do you agree?", and with a license like the current openSUSE's it would go like "Continue?" (since you need to be able to choose to continue, thus agreeing with the license, or not to continue installing the product). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

And I don't see the need for a changed prompt, just don't prompt after the message was displayed in the pager. The currently used pager already needs an explicit user action (pressing 'q' to exit the pager) which is sufficient imho. So lets move this to 11.2 with the following action items - correction of metadata to flag a no-confirmation-needed licence - support in libzypp for this - support in zypper for this -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

zypper should have the ability to display 'messages' (information-only) as they are needed in patches.
It just writes them to stdout IIRC.
And I don't see the need for a changed prompt, just don't prompt after the message was displayed in the pager. The currently used pager already needs an explicit user action (pressing 'q' to exit the pager) which is sufficient imho.
It can't be - if the license text says that by installing the product you automatically agree with the license, but you don't have a way not to continue after seeing the license notice, that's IMO bad. Note that in the GUI you do have the choice (Abort/Next)! You need to have it in CLI as well.

And its was the purpose of the license change to make the licences non-obligatory. The user doesn't agree with anything, he just gets informed about his rights. Btw, starting the latest firefox for the first time shows 'about:rights'. This is after the installation. So IMHO, just show the license but don't prompt for acceptance. -> needinfo to PM -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
