Hi, Google Summer of Code has come to an end, and I am pleased to announce that the new 1-Click Installer is ready for testing by the community. While still requiring some work, it is still quite nifty, and simplifies the installation to a great extent. I will be working on the remaining tasks involved, and it would be awesome if I get feedback and how I could make it better. I welcome all feedback on the installer, and hope to make it even better in the future.
I also take this opportunity to thank the entire organisation for the opportunity to work on this project, and my mentors, Cornelius Schumacher and Matt Barringer for guiding me throughout the course of the programme.

PS : I have not yet been able to handle the MIME types, so the application has to be run from the terminal, passing the ymp file as parameter. I will be working on this part soon.
I tried but you don't build for 12.2 which is what I run :D I forced installation but of course it bails on the incompattible libzypp in openSUSE 12.2... So, I tried it on my media center. It works, but there are some caveats: - we're talking a slow system. All the stuff that happens first ( see a bunch of 'zypper info' calls on the command line) makes you think nothing happens - it takes several minutes for anything to show. I'd prioritise showing a dialog that would say something like "gathering information...". - It shows lots of details that don't tell me anything. GPG key? Valid until WHAT? Sorry, I don't care. Even with details hidden it's too much. - clicking 'hide details' takes like a minute to execute, in that time the dialog hangs. - themeing/look of the dialog is terrible... at least, white, sidebar, buttons?!?! - for widelands (my choice of YMP file) it claimed to install "1 package from 4 sources" and indeed, upon installation, it showed just that - after installing one package from one source I had to cancel the action to get the dialog to disappear. Despite the hickups, I'm really happy with this - you already improved on the YaST one quite a bit so keep it up :D Hugs, Jos
