Feature changed by: Rémy Marquis (Spyhawk) Feature #302047, revision 34 Title: Integrated package searching for YaST and build service openSUSE-10.3: Rejected by Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) reject date: 2007-10-05 14:30:28 reject reason: still open partly - postpone the rest. Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important openSUSE-11.0: Rejected by Michael Loeffler (sprudel24) reject date: 2008-06-10 14:01:45 reject reason: not done for 11.0 Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important openSUSE-11.1: Rejected by Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) reject date: 2008-09-04 18:17:10 reject reason: No time for it, but we have the one-click installation supported from web interface. Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Desirable + openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed + Priority + Requester: Desirable Requested by: Duncan Mac-Vicar (dmacvicar) Description: You perhaps remember the hacks Benjamin did to support "click and install" packages (similar to Click'n run) [1] Benjamin has another article in his blog that is worth to read. He has been providing a wepage to search packages from repositories like packman and build service. Now he presents an architecture to desentralize the system, using web services an indexers, and he shows working prototypes of YaST modules for searching, and others like web and irc-bot clients http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/bweber/entry/package_search_developments/ I hope we can provide a strategy and roadmap to integrate these cool ideas and _code_.

I suggest to host such a list at http://packages.opensuse-community.org/ together with the search engine, which is already there. #3: Klaas Freitag (kfreitag) (2007-07-12 10:46:54) Implementation on openSUSE BS already started, Adrian knows the details. #4: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2007-07-12 11:30:04) We work on two approaches atm: * YaST will support (thanks to mvidner) additional repository offers during installation. The list gets hosted on our servers, the open question is how to maintain this list. * The build service End-User interface will offer .ymp files based on pattern submissions for easy installation. #5: Stanislav Visnovsky (visnov) (2007-07-30 20:13:09) (reply to #4) Adrian, please, drive this. The feature for YaST should be done now (let me know if anything is missing). #6: Michael Loeffler (sprudel24) (2007-11-22 11:26:30) This sounds like very useful. And it might be possible the community (in this case Benji) helps implementing this. #7: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2008-06-06 10:56:28) Apparently not done - please reject and postpone for 11.1. #9: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2008-06-18 17:08:16) This is something what we should bind to the new upcomming software portal. The software portal will be the End-User interface for searcing and installing software and replace http://software.opensuse.org/search . However it is still in development and not yet set up. Therefore I am unsure if this can happen in time for 11.1. On the other side, the 1-click-installation and integration into the web interface is done since quite some time. The user can use the cool technologies from Benjamin since 10.3. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/302047
