OK. then we need a desktop-button / link advertising this solution. Is that an option? Many years I did not even know that such a solution existed. If it is not an option we are back at point zero I am afraid.
Sorry, I'm again talking a bit GNOME-way here. In totem, when you play a file that we do not have a codec for, you get a prompt like this one: http://paste.opensuse.org/46984118 following through the notification, gnome-software is started, which in the current case presented itself like: http://paste.opensuse.org/53994650 (note: I intentionally removed the codec packs from my machine to reproduce this, and there is no PM or alternative repo with GStreamer codecs enabled) Note the 2nd entry: MPEG-4 AAC Decoder not found, which has a link to the following website: https://software.opensuse.org/codecs, where the first option proposed is the legal codec pack by Fluendo (now actually OnePlay, seems the link no longer works.. will get this fixed asap) You should be redirected to http://www.oneplaydirect.com/all_oneplay_products/
That's something the packman team would have to organize. Note that PM is not provided by the openSUSE project... so asking about improvements on the packman infrastructure here is probably about as useful as asking Apple to improve the openSUSE infrastructure... they are just disjoint.
the infrastructure is disjoint - but don´t we share some common goals as both work on opensuse packages / improving the distro? not helpful to compare this to apple. packamn deserves better.
There are members from the openSUSE community maintaining Packman infra.. but it can't be 'the openSUSE project' and especially not SUSE as the main sponsor of the project, as this, again, would lead to legal implications.
If there would be interest to push multimedia on opensuse, some openQA devs could propose openQA to packman and offer them help.
If it's about setting up openQA, I'm sure the devs are willing to assist and guide. They helped RedHat/Fedora set up an infra...
But it seems that there is no interest here. If I alone go to the packman team and say: hey, please setup openQA for me, opensuse devs are not interested, but me, I am - then I already know their answer: "We have no hardware for this, no money to buy, nor man-power nor knowledge how to do it. You have to do it yourself... or ask suse"
The hardware will be the main concern - if there are no workers to run the test, you're doomed. The instal / setup of openQA could certainly be helped with
Packman-Team is known to have not enough devs / funds / hardware.
Again, nothing 'the openSUSE project' can really change without walking into the deep waters.
No, that referred to the password not being needed for updates. gnome -software does download the updates in the background, but does not apply them without user action (one possible action is the tickbox on shutdown: apply system update (screenshot pasted at http://paste.opensuse.org/51189139 for your reference)
very nice to see this. And this works ok for TW despite being not recommended for it? Ok, then I will have to open a feature request for plasma5 to add such functionality for apper, muon. But then apper is still not working nor recommended for TW.
It works reasonably well, and is in fact how I update my TW setup most
of the times. There is one issue I'm aware of (there are surely more):
if a package asks for a license (like flash-player does), then the
offline update, which is completely non-interactive, can't handle it
yet.
