I chose to install xmms with yast sw (beta8) - apparently xmms depends on xmms-lib which is also installed. This is all very nice - except in earlier versions of SL you would be informed of dependencies before they're installed - enabling you to change your mind - or at least know what's going on before it's too late.
Is this behaviour a bug or is it intended? - that dependencies are installed automatically without "consulting" the user beforehand.
It will stay this way for 10.1.
It feels like it will stay that way because of to less development-time. The new engine would be *much* better with none but advantages. At this moment (beta8) it is -still- not working the way it should and this sound like an "and it won't be working for 100% in 10.1 cause we need all the time for making it work 80% so it can be used a bit".
I'd like to discuss this and similar issues once we have 10.1 out, so that we can plan on what to do for 10.2...
It is called an "issue" and so it seems to me. I know you guys work harder then many people on this planet, and I know complaining is cheap, but I really think ZEN should have never imported into 10.1. We have discussions about Mono/exe, the managers don't work well in beta8(!), and all this is related in my opinion to the fact that it came up around beta3...I said -beta- -3-, yes. Complaining is cheap, but maybe we as 'young' community with Novell-overrule can learn from this. ZEN is probably better then the other solutions. But after all, if there is to little time for developing it...it will be a pain in the ass.
