Most people think 1-click is some form of black magic - they don't understand it's just rpms and repositories, exactly like a manual install - only a bit easier.
No. The last few times I tried 1-click installs I always got loads of packages installed that had nothing to do with the stuff that should have been installed with the one-click thing. And I had no way to stop it from doing that, no "summary screen" that asked me if I wanted to install all that crap or anything.
Probably because I have the habit to always run "zypper up --no-recommends" because I usually do not want the recommended stuff, and the 1-click pulled in all the recommended packages of the last years.
Anyway, it *is* scary black magic, and people should avoid it like the plague if they don't want random crap installed on their machine.
Yes, I know. Ubuntu users would not care about the random crap. But I do.
It is my understanding that the 1-Click state is still the same that there was when I wrote http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-softwaremgmt/2008-12/msg00001.html There are bugs opened since a long time ago related to this (bnc#377568 and bnc#505471 at least) What can I say... it shouldn't be specially difficult to fix ("Junior job"?). But hey, I never even looked at it, I can't blame other for also ignoring it. It seems to me 1-Click is something only Benjamin Weber was really interested in, once he started to have less time to work on it it got basically unmaintained. There is someone that wants to work on this? Otherwise all the 1-Click complains are a moot point. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
