[Bug 304669] New: opensuse updater does not notify the user that it installs a different kernel-flavour
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=304669 Summary: opensuse updater does not notify the user that it installs a different kernel-flavour Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: sven.burmeister@gmx.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- I had kernel-default installed and opensuse updater showed an update for iwlwifi. The text below the update-list just stated something about wifi, so I installed it. However, without any notification kernel-bigsmp was installed. Since installing a new kernel should always warn the user before actually doing so, opensuse updater should do so too. -- 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.

Can zypper provide this information using xml?
Yes, and not only that. Zypper could issue a warning also in the regular output on such occasion (although that may not be needed since the user sees a kernel package to be installed in the install summary (hmm... but isn't this the case also in the updater?)). In any case i would rather regard this as a feature request, not a 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.

In any case i would rather regard this as a feature request, not a bug. I'll change this request to enhancement.

I cannot see the kernel-flavour in opensuseupdater, just the patch's description and the version. The patch itself is called "kernel". Did the person who rejected the feature try to determine the kernel-flavour of a patch in opensuseupdater? In YOU I can see the different package-names in the right-pane, but this was explicitly about opensuseupdater. -- 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.

OK, so let me rename this request to 'show the install summary in the updater' as there is a difference between the list of available updates and the actual list of to-be-installed/upgraded/removed packages. This is reasonable. We can discuss how to do it.
