You can see the changelog there even BEFORE you get the package downloaded and installed.
This qualifies for me as a very good reason to have this information in the RPM Metadata.
Cool. Tell me, honestly, how often do you do that, and also, do you reckon that most users check that?
Magnus, (Getting it back on the list as others might be interested). It happens that I do it.. can't give you a count though. It rarely happens in packages that I pick from 'my trusted' repos, but if a package from another one comes I sure do check it out.

Sorry, though I replied to all but...

You forgot to answer my question about "How often do you think \"normal \" users need/do it"? Cheers, Magnus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

I can't make predictions on any users behavior, Mine would be as accurate as the ones you can do yourself. The 'best' hit might be Peter Poeml giving some statistics on how often the repoview folders actually get looked at. Still not accurate, but better than anything said with a broken crystal ball. And then: what and who is normal?

Neither can I, but surely you would have an idea
Mine would be as accurate as the ones you can do yourself.
Which would be, "No, does not happen at all" so +1 for my idea

Hehe, have you looked at that? Almost every time we have a package rebuilt. the language packs are rebuilt as well, meaning that all you see is gnome-common-lang-xy.
And then: what and who is normal?
Not talking about normal as much as what users would do/expect. Cheers, Magnus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

"Does not happen at all" was already dis-proven by the fact that I told you I do it. As precise as what you said I can write: - Every user, with the exception of Magnus, checks the changelog on repoview before installing a new version, in order to see if it's interesting for them. Both points are completely useless to bring up, as both statements are just thrown in the air. BUT: I agree that there are to many points where a 'change' has to be marked. (also think osc ci). Having this unified would be quite practical. Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
