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

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

[openFATE 306979] Increase Installing/Update speed (concurrency)
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 May '11

15 May '11

Feature added by: Jörn Knie-von Allmen (Phisiker) Feature #306979, revision 1 Title: Increase Installing/Update speed (concurrency) openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jörn Knie-von Allmen (phisiker) Description: Solution: Download and Installing in separate processes/threads. So, while installing, the download of the next package can be done (or even partially done). Waiting for terminating the intallprocess of the previous package before to download the next package makes no sense. (Every time when upgrading, this ist annoying). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306979

[openFATE 306116] Better lock handling in zypper

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

Feature added by: Markus K (KAMiKAZOW) Feature #307310, revision 1 Title: Good CJK / East Asian input support (esp. KDE) openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Markus K (kamikazow) Description: Setting up CJK support for typing kanji has always been a bitch for me and I always failed -- especially under KDE 4, even though I consider myself an experienced computer user. Wang Hoi developed an applet that should make it all easier. It's currently in KDE-Review.
