Thanks Richard for your reply :) Are you saying that there is a difference between providing "yast / repos / add community repo" and the same functionality as a desktop icon? Interesting. But Why? Only because the one is more hidden than the other? I cannot imagine how this would make a difference in court, but I am no lawyer also. So what about my other points? - when adding packman: automagically add packman with a 98 priority & allow vendor change once & automatically apply zypper up or dup afterwards (those more knowledgable should still be enabled to change priority / vendor change of course; this is about sane defaults for noobs) - install recommends: only once during installation as default - automatically update/grade the OS daily: by executing zypper up or dup in the background (via cron-job or graphical utility?) AFAIK apper still cannot propose solutions for conflicts and thus might not be feasible for this job. - Require minimal user intervention for the update/grade: require sudo password if new software is installed, but not when existing software is updated; but let the user know if he needs to restart or log-off. - partialy unrelated: let flash stay for the noobs, those more knowledgable can uninstall / block it - what can I contribute? I would love to update the wiki accordingly Please do it for us noobs :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
