Hi there, To clarify Martin's mockup: That mockup was one of two suggested by Martin Szulecki for the purpose of a brainstorm discussion. It was based on the look of the selector at the time which was a place holder, while the framework was being worked on. But PackageKit being set to replace it in an upcoming version, the idea was to try something different, so that some of it's design might serve as inspiration and live on. :/ With regard to the druid/assistant look, the main problem here is that most yast tool mixes an overview and a wizard flow without a visual break. This duality is confusing, and should be addressed. In the meanwhile, I agree we should get rid of the current look. That's on the TO-DO list for some time. Anyway, thanks for the review.

I have just seen some screenshots of the "new and improved" package selector.
If I see some slight improvements, it's still far from what it should have been according to the original idea presented here:

This nice, good looking and feature rich proposal became the following in alpha1:

It definitely looks bad, and it doesn't seem to add all the functionalities YaST Software Management has in its Qt version.
We discussed a lot about having a very similar interface on both desktop managers for YaST. This is not going in that direction, in my opinion, so it would be nice to have some clarification on the plans for openSUSE 11.
P.S. Sorry for posting on two ML's, but the topic fits both.
Thanks in advance, Alberto
