[openFATE 305859] Make installation history accessible from Yast GUI

Feature added by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Feature #305859, revision 1, last change by Title: Make installation history accessible from Yast GUI openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Description: As there is now (since openSUSE 11.1) a way to access the history of installed packages and their dependencies, it would be very useful if this history could be accessed from the Yast GUI. In the present implementation, zypper saves the history in a file (/var/log/zypp/history) which is very obscure. The history thus shown from yast should be able to show official-updates and non-official upgrades in different categories. Use Case: 1. Install new software, software not working (or not liked), look-up history start yast, look-up history, uninstall software and installed dependencies. 2. Online update, something goes wrong (upgraded software not working or something), look-up history to see recent updates and revert (all from yast). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305859

[openFATE 306323] Zimbra Mail Server Support for openSUSE 11.x
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Aug '11

Feature added by: Masim Sugianto (vavai) Feature #306323, revision 1, last change by Title: Zimbra Mail Server Support for openSUSE 11.x Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Masim Sugianto (vavai) Description: Zimbra Mail Server is a popular mail server & collaboration suite. Zimbra team has decided to leave openSUSE as unsupported platform due to minimal download for their product (which should be wrong because they said Zimbra for openSUSE only 41 times downloaded comparing thousand for Ubuntu or Fedora). openSUSE is one of the best choice and strong distro for server. It would be sad to see openSUSE fans migrate to another distro only for one reason : Zimbra could not be installed on openSUSE 11.x and there is no binary package for openSUSE 11.x The best way to make openSUSE as best Distro for server area are providing Zimbra package (community builds). There is a project called Zimbra Community builds (see related article) but the author seems to hold the project. If it's possible to be build on build service or with another technique (manual build ?), I will help as much as I can for testing and implementing the binary package and providing the documentation.

[openFATE 306438] yast2 sw_single should provide a view of packages where no other packages depends on

Feature added by: Michael Calmer (mcalmer) Feature #306438, revision 1, last change by Title: yast2 sw_single should provide a view of packages where no other packages depends on openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michael Calmer (mcalmer) Description: If I want to cleanup a workstation and remove packages which I do not need anymore I be able to know some package names which I have really selected for installation. But such packages pullin some dependencies which I am not aware of and so the number of packages growth and growth. A view, which shows me all packages where no other package depends on would help me to find packages I can remove without breaking dependencies. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306438

[openFATE 305992] Easier removal of packages installed due dependencies and not manually by user
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 23 Jul '11

23 Jul '11

Feature added by: Nikanth K (nikanth) Feature #305992, revision 1, last change by Title: Easier removal of packages installed due dependencies and not manually by user openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Nikanth K (nikanth) Description: If one tries to install a package say "bzflag-debugsource", then due to dependency "bzflag-debuginfo" also gets installed. But later the user may not remember it and will uninstall only "bzflag-debugsource". So installing and uninstalling, "bzflag-debugsource", does not leave the system in the same state as before. It would be nice if yast2/zypper can remember the automatic package selections and prompt user when the actual packages are being uninstalled and there are no other package that is still dependent on them. Atleast a way to know the list of packages installed due to dependencies and the no of packages still dependent on them would make it easier for the user. And this list should not include packages manually installed by the user. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305992

Feature added by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #306410, revision 1, last change by Title: Guest session openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Description: It'd be nice to provide a guest session, for people using a computer that is not their computer. This guest session would: * require no password * would cleanup itself on logout/login * be easily accessible from the login manager It should of course be easy to disable it, for people who don't want this. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306410

[openFATE 306116] Better lock handling in zypper
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 06 May '11

06 May '11

Feature added by: Marek Stopka (m4r3k) Feature #306116, revision 1, last change by Title: Better lock handling in zypper openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Marek Stopka (m4r3k) Description: Currently only two states in locking of packages are available (keep package as is/do not care about package) but I think it would be much more better to have a possibility lock only some parameters of package... For example you have a 64bit machine, but you want keep some package always in i586 version, but you still wanna version updates in this case there should be a possibility to lock only this parameter. Of course there is a lot of options what else can be locked, for example version of package, meaning that you can't change package version, but release number can change... -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306116
