Feature changed by: Narayansamy S (vazhavandan) Feature #309503, revision 26 Title: Beautiful one-click-install Hackweek VI: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable openSUSE-11.4: Rejected by Thomas Schmidt (digitaltomm) reject reason: Won't be ready for 11.4 Priority Requester: Important openSUSE Distribution: Evaluation by engineering manager Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Cornelius Schumacher (cschum) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Garrett made a great mockup (http://ux.suse.de/~garrett/public/hackweek/oneclick/mockups/oneclick-mockup-... 20widgets.png) for a much more beautiful one click installer some time ago. It would be great to get this implemented. I think it could be done with a small Qt application which uses libzypp or PackageKit or something like that as the backend to do the actual installation. I won't be able to spend much time on it, but Will said he might be interested. Maybe also one of the YaST guys could join.

When talking with Cornelius a short while ago, we realized that it could be even simpler (for the main flow at least). It would be fantastic if we have something great at the end of Hackweek... and I think that's completely possible. #2: Rajko Matovic (rajko_m) (2010-05-24 05:03:47) One of beautiful ideas in this proposal is to point out user that repository must be trusted before actually installing anything. The missing piece is extended help how to check validity of the repository GPG keys. It is the same in YaST. You have some numbers on the screen and you have to trust them. How that works, how to check keys, when and why you can and should trust them is not explained. 1) User can cancel operation, which means that repository will not be added and software that he wants will not be installed. or 2) Blindly accept key import and defeat purpose of this step. #3: 6tr6tr 6tr6tr (6tr6tr) (2010-10-01 20:21:13) LOVE the mockup! If it's like that, I vote for this! #4: Alex Bars (alexdbars) (2010-12-03 00:07:10) I love it, simple and user-friendly! A search on top integrate with "software.opensuse.org/search" will be great, #5: Thomas Schmidt (digitaltomm) (2010-12-20 12:07:20) Will looked into this during hackweek, is there already some code? #6: Cornelius Schumacher (cschum) (2011-01-20 22:57:52) It's still a great idea, and a beautiful concept. Would be fantastic, if it finally could become reality. Hackweek 6 is a good opportunity for that. Any takers? #7: Jakub Rusinek (liviopl) (2011-01-27 02:03:02) Well, this mockup is absolutely awesome. I guess it had been done before oneclick was really brought into YaST, so somebody has missed the mockups while implementing, but there are still chances that it can be fixed using libzypp/PackageKit along with PolicyKit directly, without calling YaST and dozens of extra windows popping around our desktops... I'm looking forward. + #8: Narayansamy S (vazhavandan) (2012-04-03 19:00:47) + I think zypper/yast do a much better job at resolving conflicts than + packagekit or whatever they call it -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309503
