Btw. I don't understand your last sentence.
Basically, if it's in the pattern, does the pattern require it or because there is another dependency like hardware?
The philosophy here is that people might want to add it later on...
Understood. Keep the actual KEDTV in a compressed addon area of the drive then. Don't just install it. KDETV is set to install automatically. Again, how many people have a TV card? <5%? Then it should be installed unless the TV card is detected, which isn't until later when the hardware is detected. Why not do the hardware configuration in the beginning as well? I really like the fact that the user and root stuff was moved to the beginning.
Current zypp provides much better way to do it: - Have a pattern/metapackage/anything which provides TV applications (Pattern must be well tuned to not install KDETV in GNOME and GNOME TV in KDE.) - This pattern will be automatically soft-selected, if USB ID or PCI ID of TV card is detected. It is not an easy task, because on one side you need a list of all supported TV cards, on the other side you have to make pattern desktop dependent. There are two different ways, how they can be supported: V4L stream (supported by kernel) and video overlay (supported by X). I did this with nut: If USB UPS is present, then it should be selected for installation. I guess that it could be an approach for future. rpm -q --supplements nut modalias(usb:v0592p0002d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*) modalias(usb:v06DAp0002d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*) modalias(usb:v09AEp0001d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*) modalias(usb:v0665p5161d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*) modalias(usb:v05B8p0000d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*) modalias(usb:v0001p0000d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*) modalias(usb:vFFFFp0000d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*) modalias(usb:v06DAp0003d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*) modalias(usb:v0F03p0001d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*) -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966, +49 911 740538747 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
