Hi all !
I would like to point to current problems with Yast so called "Patterns" - maybe better name would be "Categories":
1.There is a topic named: "Primary Functions" I think it must be renamed to "Server Functions".
2. And some additional services should be added there - such as telnet-server, SSH server and FreeNX terminal server.
3. Also, I believe that network admins deserve a section dedicated for them, starting with several tools such as: Wireshark, Quagga, Nmap and please.... add Webmin too. (currently Webmin is not part of SUSE at all)
-Any thoughts?
Many thoughts. The Patterns will stay named that way, but as it is possible to combine them with others, there is need to use some names for different levels, combinations, ways to sort them. I tried to establish naming starting with hardware categories, with open status of usage categories, which would be top-down way to define them, Klaus Kempf proposed opposite way, to start combining packages, which would be bottom-up way to create patterns. There is nothing wrong with either way, and actually both combined will give fast results (bottom-up), that 10.2 needs as it is on schedule, and thorough coverage (top-down) that need some time to be created. "Primary Functions" is good name that should stay at the top of Server, Engineering Workstation, Office Computer, Entertainment, Administration Station and other second level patterns. I hope that they will add them as appropriate definitions come up. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
