2. Package Management through YaST: The Qt version rocks, but the GNOME version simply is sucks.
And please try to get up to date about what's going on in the project before demanding things that are already in the works. Intensive conceptual work and development went into the new and improved version of the GNOME package manager that is in factory. Have you even tried it?
BTW, I was involved in the design of the 'old' package manager that you dislike so much; my motivation was that I loathe the utterly human-unusable QT-package-manager...

If the existing YaST package manager module has undergone a change (and I cannot run Factory as I have only so much space on my laptop), then more power to you. Regarding whats wrong with the GTK interface (in 11.2) is the fact that you need to press two buttons both of which are not close by to select a package for install. First you need to select the package, the go to the lower right corner to select to install. I believe that a simple checkbox beside the package to be installed would be the right way. -Anshul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

Simply double clicking a package does it too, as does a right click and install in 11.2. If you cannot run factory, you can at least try from the Live CD and look at the new GTK interface again. It does have a simple check-box interface and lots more. Just like Christian, I have lots to speak against the QT interface as well, but this will just become a GTK vs QT interface skirmishes like the many before this. There are some who want to improve various aspects of the distribution, the GTK interface of YaST being one of them. Many of them code and are the real heroes, some provide feedback during the development stage, and for good or bad get some of the missing points covered and so on. Then there are some others who will sit back and just say "it sucks". Where were you when we were screaming for feedback during the developmental stage in these mailing lists? -- Atri -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
