I tried to use YOU to install ordinary software. this works without problem. we have now the same menus in YOU than in software install (yast).
_but_
* when installing, Yast/you always speaks about "patches" beeing installed in any message/help window, even when no patche are installed but software
In fact, its patches that are installed. The packages (software) are dragged in by patch dependencies. The basic concept here is to make the bugfix visible (since thats the real interesting part) and have packages as an additional detail.
* it starts with the patches windows. I'm still unable to know if there are new updates only looking at the window. so I must clic on "accept" to know. but after installing all the patches, it closes when the software update module asks to know is one wans to install more, wich is often the case, so one must restart the module and wait again.
The default view is currently 'all patches', it should be changed to 'new patches'.
* if one install a software by YOU, before having installed patches, the patches are not installed in the same session. Usually one can select software by any mean, at the end all the selection is installed. Here it seems that the patches selection and the software selection are separated.
This is intended behaviour. With Code10, patches just express dependencies. Thats different from previous releases where patches were package containers. The new behaviour calculates the 'patch level' from the rpm database. If all packages have the right version, the 'patch level' is reached. Independant of the installation of actual patches. Whats currently missing in YaST is the ability to view the patch level. This fulfills one of the core requests we heard from customers, being able to use others packaging tools besides you/yast.
