Feature changed by: Duncan Mac-Vicar <dmacvicar@novell.com> Feature #305582, revision 2 Title: Off-Line one click install (MSI for Linux) openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Important - Requested by: Duncan Mac-Vicar <dmacvicar@novell.com> + Requested by: Raúl García <raul@bgta.net> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Idea from community member Raul Romero. Same concept as MSI packages for Windows but exploiting the One Click Install concept of openSUSE (and therefore inheriting the simplicity, code and security. Basically a compressed file which includes a repository inside, plus one click install information, and a script to trigger the oneclickinstall handler with the data as payload in the script. Therefore is a collection of rpms that can be installed detailed description is here http://en.opensuse.org/OSI There is already a prototype working. Example script: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/363315/MozillaFirefox.osi This requires some extra features in one click install and other pieces * ability to force OneClick to add the repo (the one inside the compressed file) Additionally I see other features: * ability to suggest an update repo for the installed bundle * support from build service to generate bundles * easy way to generate them locally Out of scope but interesting: * Ablity to trigger a YaST workflow (its own control.xml?) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This solves the business case of distributing service packs, applications, codecs bundles by just downloading a big file, 100% offline, supporting dependencies and repo signatures. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305582
