https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=394396 Summary: zypper drop license acceptance for already installed packages ( update ) Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Factory Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: casualprogrammer@yahoo.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Beta-Customer when updating packages from non-oss for every licensed package the license agreement is displayed and a yes | no acceptance dialog offered. As this has already been agreed on on first installation, it could be dropped on updates as far as I am concerned. -- 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 that's rather unlikely. -- 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.

If the user has already agreed to a license for a package, then there is no reason to 're-agree' to it (most EULAs explicitly state anyway, that the license covers the software, documentation and any updates thereto). Deciding on whether or not the license agreement has changed is a technical matter. If there is no technical solution, the brute force method would be to display the license agreement again anyway. It is in our own interest to hunt down the software that required a EULA to be displayed (note that Adobe (e.g.) includes its own method of displaying a EULA. If there is an update to an Adobe package such as acroread, Adobe takes care of ensuring that the end user has accepted the EULA). I do not think that there would be many packages left at all... -- 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.
