Hello all,
as here on this list the new software search is discussed I would like to ask if the search boxes on the download pages could set up as default to be searching for packages for the according versions (and not all as default for 12.1).
Hi Martin, that sounds like a good idea. I think we should also move the current distribution to the headline with a small [change] link for example to make it more obvious in which context the search happens.
What do you think about that? [...]
You mean by "current distribution" the distribution that is be searched in/for by default in the box? So if you would change the default like I proposed: there would be in the headline of the search box on http://software.opensuse.org/developer/en not only "Package Search" but "Package Search in Factory (upcoming 12.2)", "Package Search in Factory", "Package Search in Developer Version (Factory)" [EDIT: "...for..." would be better in my view it also includes the packages from the not-main repositories]
or something like it? If you I would like that very much.
I added that suggestion to the TODO list. We also need to take care that the users don't get the impression that it's an opensuse-only package search, so it needs to be clear from the design that the search is not limited to opensuse 12.1 for example. Greetings
But I do not know if a (second) change link would be necessary. In order to keep the layout simple (and not redundant) maybe ether: - Move the whole distribution choice box on the top (the radio button/choice box that is now shown behind "Show distribution:" after you click on the screw wrench) - write something like "advanced options", "options", "modify", "change options" also on the link that is currently only 'described' by pictures of a screw wrench and of an enter button.
Regards Martin
