You raise some very good points! However, please find my comments inline, below:

c) can install updates without root password
sudo permissions can fix (c)
d) can have different permissions regarding installing/updating depending on the user
sudo permissions can fix (d)
e) allows to choose whether to check for patches only or all available updates
Seems like a simple preference.
f) does not end-up like e.g. kupdateapplet (which basically was what you describe, i.e. nothing but a notifier)
I do not see that as *necessarily* a bad thing. yast2 sw_single is a pretty good installer. If I little thinger pops up and says, "Hey, you have some updates. This is what they are...... <details>. Click <here> to run the software updater." then I'd be happy with that. I'd also prefer to see a preference "automatically install all updates that do not require a reboot.", but it's just that - a preference. -- Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
