[New: openFATE 310884] Let's not confuse end-users!

Feature added by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Feature #310884, revision 1 Title: Let's not confuse end-users! Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Today I bumped into the excellent FocusWriter application (http://gottcode.org/focuswriter/) It's author, Gott (double T, yes, not a d) uses OBS to deliver packages for several of the major distributions (mandriva, Fedora, openSUSE) to his users. Who will click the link to the package thus ending up on the OBS project page. Now from that point on, I can find the RPM and download it. And grandma won't even visit the OBS page, getting lost on the FocusWriter site (if she gets there at all). But. How about those between total ignorance and complete geekdom? They will click the name of their distribution on the project page in OBS. And lo and behold, there is an RPM file mentioned there! Yay! *click* !FAIL Yes, they should go to repositories. Then, either start googling on how to add a repository to their linux distro, OR go and find their package in the directory tree presented to them. In other words, they either will give up (cursing the Build Service) or go crazy (singing it's praise, but who listens to crazy people?). So the request is to offer direct download links on the project (or package) homepage in OBS. For openSUSE - a one-click-install would be great. Esp if it figures out what version of openSUSE you run automatically (!). For other distro's the RPM(s) will probably suffice. May the Build Server be with you! Test Case: Send moderately geeky Fedora user to a Build Service page (eg order them to download FocusWriter). If they end up crying: FAIL. Use Case: sometimes people come to a home project to actually *download the freakin' packages build there*. So they should be able to do that in a rather obvious way, ergo the downloads should not be obscured and hidden from common human sight. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: At some point it'd be nice if end-users ALSO come to love the Build Service. Yes yes, a developer should offer the direct link or the repositories on his project webpage. I know. But users also end up on BS project pages from Google or searching the SUSE software repository on download.opensuse.org ;-) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310884

[openFATE 306347] Expanded View in Web Interface
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Feb '11

18 Feb '11

Feature added by: Stephan Binner (Beineri) Feature #306347, revision 1, last change by Title: Expanded View in Web Interface Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Stephan Binner (beineri) Description: The Build Service web interface should allow to switch to an expanded view (unlayered, with package patches applied) as alternate view. This would ease debugging of other people build problems and is also nicer for upstream/anonymous users (Fate#306192) without having to checkout via osc for expanded version. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306347

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #306381, revision 1, last change by Title: Read Only mode for anonymous users in Web Client Buildservice: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Description: The OBS Web Client shall offer a read only mode for not loged in users. Goals: * The current projects and packages shall become browseable * Search engines shall be able to index our content * Our sources, including the patches should be accessable. * Log files shall be accessable for developers without login. What should not be accessable: Of course no write operations and everything which is causing too much load on our servers. The system must be still usable for packagers as higher goal. This means: * No build result downloads via api * No monitor pages due to the cause load ? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306381

[New: openFATE 311313] Yast installation - more options for marking packages to be updated
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Feature added by: René Krell (renekrell) Feature #311313, revision 1 Title: Yast installation - more options for marking packages to be updated openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: René Krell (renekrell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I use many different software repositories in YaST for updating and often there are packages of the same name, which 1) got an older version number, although they are newer, 2) are only automatic rebuilds depending on other packages, but they haven't changed themself (OpenSUSE marks them a change in the Y part of a X.Y release number in RPM packages). This makes it many times difficult to select the packages I want really to update and I have to mark many of them manually. I'd appreciate to more options for selecting packages in a shown package list: 1) Select different packages (regardless whether they have a newer version or release number) 2) Select packages which are not built automatically due to other package changes (or however to call this shortly for a menu entry). Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This definitely saves time for updates when using multiple repositories in YaST. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311313

[New: openFATE 311308] installing process: please provide new tab "installation setup/summary"

Feature added by: Maciej Pilichowski (truemacias) Feature #311308, revision 1 Title: installing process: please provide new tab "installation setup/summary" openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Maciej Pilichowski (truemacias) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=671541 When you are just about to confirm installation you can read section by section all details about the installation (like booting options, packages selected, firewall settings, and so on). When you confirm installation, this screen vanishes and you are presented with installation progress with 3 tabs -- slide show, details, release notes. None of those tabs present the summary of the installation you just saw before. Please add it (this time static of course, not editable). It is valuable when lengthy installation is in progress and you want to reassure you didn't make mistake in settings. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311308
