[openFate 305680] access table contents in YaST in more ways than just by push buttons

Feature added by: Martin Schmidkunz (mschmidkunz) Feature #305680, revision 1, last change by Title: access table contents in YaST in more ways than just by push buttons openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Martin Schmidkunz (mschmidkunz) Interested: Johannes Meixner (jsmeix) Interested: Katarina Machalkova (kmachalkova) Interested: Lukas Ocilka (locilka) Interested: Martin Vidner (mvidner) Interested: Ricardo Cruz (rpmcruz) Description: There is feedback (e.g. http://mvidner.blogspot.com/2009/01/yast-ui-table-usability.html) that users might get confused with the fact that table actions (performed on the table items) are accesible only as push buttons below the table. What users are used to from other GUI applications and what they miss in YaST UI is: a) context menu activated by right click on table item (e.g. edit/delete this item) b) more function key bindings (e.g. 'Delete' key will do the same what would pushing delete button do) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305680

[openFATE 306913] zypper lu should show installed version of package
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 14 Aug '09

Feature added by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Feature #306913, revision 1 Title: zypper lu should show installed version of package openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Description: It is very necessary for zypper lu to show the version of the installed packages for which updates/upgrades have been detected. This way, one will be able to see if a package has a major or minor upgrade and accordingly decide whether he wants to update it. Currently it only shows the available version, and this is insufficient information for a user to decide whether he wants the update or not. Use Case: 1) zypper lu -a from terminal 2) Upgrades for package foo detected. Installed version: 1.0.x Available version: 1.0.y User chooses not to install this minor update. 3) Upgrades for package foo2 detected. Installed version: 1.0.x Available version: 1.1.y User decides this is a big upgrade, goes for it. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306913

[openFATE 306657] Core technologies we wish to see

Feature added by: jimbo bigcreed (Dimble_ThriceFoon) Feature #306657, revision 1 Title: Core technologies we wish to see openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: jimbo bigcreed (dimble_thricefoon) Description: This request revolves around the desire for 11.2 to implement some core technologies due out in Q3 2009 that will ensure the distribution is not obscelesent long before it is replaced by 11.3 in Q3 2010. These core technologies include: 1. Kernel 2.6.31 (due: end august/ start september). By the time 11.2 arrives in mid november the 2.6.31 kernel will already be ten weeks old, and 2.6.30 will be over six months old. 2. Xorg 7.5 / x-server 1.7 (due: mid august) By the time 11.2 arrives in mid november the x-server 1.6 will already be over six months old, and X.org 7.4 itself will be over a year old. The inclusion of X.org 7.5 and kernel 2.6.31 will keep 11.2 fresh and relevant throughout its nine month life, and prevent the perception of staleness among suse enthusiasts in 2010. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306657

Feature added by: jp redpos (jpredpos) Feature #306629, revision 1 Title: Install from ISO openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: jp redpos (jpredpos) Description: I could be nice to install opensuse from the .iso in other disk or partition. And boot to install with other very small iso, that could burn in a pen-usb. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306629

[openFATE 306526] Pull needed dependencies when installing from a local file
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

Feature added by: Piotrek Juzwiak (BenderBendingRodriguez) Feature #306526, revision 1 Title: Pull needed dependencies when installing from a local file openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Piotrek Juzwiak (benderbendingrodriguez) Description: It would be great if it would be possible for YaST? to install any necessary packages when installing something from a local file. For example: VirtualBox rpm package needs pam-devel which would have to be installed by invoking YaST first (not everyone knows what to do when they encounter a message saying that they're missing a dependency). So it would be great for YaST to pull the needed dependency or say that they are not available. This would simplify installation of many packages for new users. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306526
