Feature changed by: Jiri Masek (masekj) Feature #310433, revision 4 Title: Support for apt-url openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Jiri Masek (masekj) Description: In the fact there are many webpages and articles (not only ubuntu tutorials) using apt-url feature to install software, would be nice if openSUSE implements own solution for this feature. My idea is following: - There is a webpage containing this: <a href="apt:thunderbird">Install - Thunderbird</a> + Thunderbird</a> (for example, it can be banshee, gimp, inkscape, or any + other package) - User click on "Install Thunderbird" button, and then YaST (or other zypper/libzypp gui) is called. - openSUSE search all added repositories for linked package (in this case thunderbird) and install it (or shows a dialog "Package was not found, please add repository containing this package" or "Software is already installed on your computer"). Think that this is very simple and it can help a little bit to starting users. Also it is a little more comfortable for any user :-) Discussion: #1: Michal Marek (michal-m) (2010-08-26 12:30:38) Have a look at those 1-Click-Install links at http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=thunderbird&baseproject=openSUSE%3A11.... 3A&exclude_debug=true :) #2: Jiri Masek (masekj) (2010-08-26 13:54:53) (reply to #1) I know that SUSE have 1-Click install for a long time. I mean apt-url support as "Compatibility issue". Know, that 1-click install is really better than apt-url (apt-url can not add repository). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310433
