But this needs an administrator to set it up first. Not very nice for people that admin their own machines. How the current tool handles this now is easier on the end user.
And doing this at install needs configuring sudo entirely, which is... well, not that simple.
Nobody is considering to write a new package/update manager, this thread is about either fixing PK's zypper backend or instead using a small notifier applet instead of the PK-based ones. We already have both YaST modules and the PK frontends for installing packages and applying updates which in combination with PolicyKit can do all of the stuff requested above. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
