[New: openFATE 318468] New Packages Group
Feature added by: Rajesh Ganesan (ganesanrajesh) Feature #318468, revision 1 Title: New Packages Group openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Rajesh Ganesan (ganesanrajesh) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: In Yast package management, we have filters (Package groups) like suggested, recommended, orphaned, unneeded, etc which are very useful indeed. However, a new filter/group like "new" would be very useful. It would help users to find newly introduced packages. Use Case: It is not now possible to find a new package. Updates can be found out - say, blue color. A different color can be used for such new packages Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Suppose, a package is not found in opensuse at a point of time. When it is later introduced, an average user, who may be waiting for this, may not be aware of such package. Using this filter, he would find it immediately. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/318468
