I propose to throw out "apper"
Sadly, it will stay in. Those of us who are familiar with openSUSE will remove it post install, while new users will be tripped up by its broken behaviour.
often (in the openSUSE forums) the *first* time we see a new poster their problem is the direct result of their use of 'apper'.. if we can't take apper out pre-install, how about we make it easy for the new users to remove it by putting a script in packman that auto-runs during the first update after install saying (something like): [For some strange reason] we must install a software package (named 'apper') which is known to conflict with our package manager and will, in time, kill your system if not uninstalled or disabled. Most openSUSE users remove it, may we now uninstall yours? - yes - no (leave it enabled) - only disable it - more info we have or still do use packman to to install codecs, java, etc etc etc.....why not also use it to remove BIG problems?? ps: i'm not trying to make work for someone here, instead i'm just trying to save all those new user problems, like: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aforums.opensuse.org+apper+OR+packagek... dd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
