Dear milestone testers!
openSUSE 11.3 looks to be getting in good shape, and there are about two months to go [1] before the first of the RC releases and three until the final release. There are numerous things to be excited about with 11.3 as has been the case with every prior release. One of these is definitely the gtk interface to YaST Sotware Management module [2,3], much revamped since 11.2.
At last! :-) ...
1. Main interface revamp: The package-list shown by default is now categorised by (Packagekit) groups and further separation into "Available", "Upgrades" and "Installed" tabs has been done away with. Instead this has been implemented as a separate "Status" filter (below the Category box). By default this filter is set to "Any Status".
...
When one selects a package for installation/update/removal it brings up a summary line in the status bar along with an Undo button (that undoes this installation/removal request alone) and a link to a "Summary of changes" box [see point 2].
Undo! wow! :-)
2. A "Summary of changes" box: that contains all the packages selected during the session for installation/update/removal alongwith Undo buttons for the manually selected packages. Selecting "undo" also applies the changes to the corresponding dependencies pulled in automatically by the dep-solver. This replaces the list of changes sidebar implementation which was a part of the package-manager in its 11.2 and previous avatars. Also with a button to access the "History" viewer [see point 3].
Very good!
3. A "History of changes" box: that is accessible from either the
top-menu "Extras" or from the "Summary of changes" box. This shows the entire history of installed/upgraded/uninstalled packages, and
I'm salivating already :-)~~
Happy testing!
I was doubtful of testing 11.3 (too many big, fearsome, changes), but this one is very interesting. I'll download and install M5 - but the i586 version, not the x64, which has been announced as not installable. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
