Feature changed by: Michal Marek (michal-m) Feature #310433, revision 2 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> - 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%3A11.3&exclude_filter=home% + 3A&exclude_debug=true :) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310433

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

I think, there's no matter to add new one and very simple. It won't break anythink in cases, where Canonical won't add new features to it. My little suggestions: - After error, suggest to use Yast-one-click install on this page("Apt- url fails to install package. If web page supports Yast-one-click mechanism, use it instead"). - Suggest to change repositories also on error(add new repository) - Suggest also to uses search for software/repository Yast's module   Ubuntu won't support PackageKit web browser plugin for long time. It don't support for PackageKit yet. + #4: Sławomir Lach (lachu) (2010-08-27 12:07:49) + I think, that better is asks Canonical to support for Yast-One-Click + Install, because it's designed to be multiOSes.

But _adding_ compatibility for something one did not possess before does not strike me at all.
