[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 306982] Create an open SLES
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 03 Oct '11

Feature added by: Stephen Shaw (decriptor) Feature #306982, revision 1 Title: Create an open SLES Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Stephen Shaw (decriptor) Description: It would be great to have something like centos but that is based off of SLES. This would give people the abililty to use openSLES (for example) and move over to SLES if needed. I believe it would help to grow our user base in the enterprise as well by allowing small companies to start and grow and later move to a supported model. I don't think we would loss customers as these are the people that probably wouldn't be buying licenses in the first place. As they grow this could completely change and they would be well positioned to buy support from Novell. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306982

Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: That simplifys the serach on a bad package. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309626

[New: openFATE 309274] zypper: option to automatically select "keep obsolete xyz" answer
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Sep '11

Feature added by: Michal Marek (michal-m) Feature #309274, revision 1 Title: zypper: option to automatically select "keep obsolete xyz" answer openSUSE-11.3: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Michal Marek (michal-m) Description: When tracking Factory, it often happens that there is a new library A, but package B built against this new library is not available yet. zypper dup usually offers to either delete B, switch A and B from x86_64 to i586 or to not update A. I almost always chose not to update A in such cases. I want new packages, but not at any cost :-). So I'd like an option like zypper dup --fallback-keep-obsolete that would answer such questions automatically and let me review only "real" problems. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309274

[New: openFATE 308389] Zypper - ingore All

Feature added by: Josef Reidinger (jreidinger) Feature #308389, revision 1 Title: Zypper - ingore All openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Josef Reidinger (jreidinger) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I think it would nice to have use same answer for similar questions. Like if repository is not accessible or recently synced, then ignore all problems instead of individual answers. Use Case: For example if factory is synced and package is no longer available, then use ignore all and after run refresh and repair via verify problems. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: If update contain many packages and user testing factory, then manual ignoring problems takes too much time and decrease time to testing. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308389

[New: openFATE 308378] Add simple selection of partitions in installation process
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Sep '11

Feature added by: Mindaugas Baranauskas (embar-) Feature #308378, revision 1 Title: Add simple selection of partitions in installation process openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Mindaugas Baranauskas (embar-) Description: Need option for simple partitions asigning to mount points in installation. In openSUSE installation from DVD, the selection of partitions of system – isn't friendly to new user. We could add option to simple (and more grafical) management of partitions. Now in comparing this installation step in openSUSE, Fedora, Mandriva and Ubuntu: our openSUSE is most uncomfortable (a lot of mouse clicks)! Ubuntu 9.10 and Fedora 12 provides simpler management; And Mandriva 2010.0 surprized – is the clearest for beginig user. The Mandriva way: Press "Use existting partition" and "Next" See collumn of partitions and near the collumn of mount points, that can be changed by click :) That's all! The partition with mount point "/" – will be automaticaly formated. I expect, that for most users – this is the most desireble way. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308378

Feature added by: James Mason (bear454) Feature #309539, revision 1 Title: compiz grid plugin for kwin openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: James Mason (bear454) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Compiz 'grid' plugin provides tiled window manager-like behavior in addition to traditional moveable windows. Kwin would benefit from having an equivalent feauture, for those of us with OCD. See: http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Grid http://suasol.wordpress.com/2008/06/28/new-tiling-plugin-for-compiz-fusion-… Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: (1) It's incredibly useful for quickly laying out non-overlapping windows, without moving over to a (limited) tiled WM. (2) feature parity with compiz. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309539
