RPM fields such as provides, requires, recommends, suggests, etc are all made available so that Zypp SAT-Solver can e.g. evaluate beforehand if all its dependencies can be satisfied. Alberto had already mentioned this to me. It seems that in the case of libraries, interpreters and many others, the "provides" field is a nice (if not fool-proof) to find the more relevant files. For instance, a package like SDL would have the string "libSDL.so" under provides, or sun-java and gcj would have the string "javac". I had already put this feature request under the wiki so I wouldn't forget: http://en.opensuse.org/YaST2-GTK_brainstorm . Meanwhile, I've also worked on our Zypp wrapper so to make adding such new search fields much easier: http://groups.google.com/group/yast2-gtk/browse_thread/thread/c667ebe95c096d... I think, like yast2-qt, we should simply add a new "provides" option to the search field (and maybe a "requires" one). Alternatively, we could make the "filename" option search in "provides" for not-installed packages (and have some tooltip saying filename search on not-installed is not reliable). But that could confuse the more advanced users (or could it?). Maybe the best approach is to have a tooltip on filename search saying: "filename search can only be performed for installed packages. provides search can be a satisfactory alternative for not-installed packages however." At the very least, we want to have this information on the help box. I don't think many people realize that a provides search can be a good alternative to the filename one. -- 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.

This is usually the easiest way to find a package if you know its name. Hint: You can also use this to find out what package contains a certain library. Search in the Provides RPM field.» Like I suspected, this is mostly reliable for libraries. (which probably satisfies most search use-cases.) We should probably throw some online tooltip as well, because I doubt many people would look for the help text. -- 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.

At the end of the day the point is to enable yast-gtk to have the ability to search for package contents, not just package name. How it gets done is up to you ;-) -- 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.

YaST Qt has a client for webpin in openSUSE 11.2

You can run any yast2 tool in yast2-gtk as well. (and yast2-ncurses if they don't use fancy stuff like images.) There are only yast2 tools. There are none yast2-qt or yast2-gtk tools. yast2-gtk and yast2-qt are solely translation layers that map YCP methods to the underlying desktop API. The exception -- as I've discussed in the yast2-gtk mailing list -- is sw_single and online_update, which are largely coded at the translation layer level. (standing ancient architectural decisions.) -- 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.
