nice presentation. The main drawback (not from you, it is also present now) is that the "trust" question do not have valid answer. the user have no real way to know if the operation at this moment is safe or not. He can only think it's safe because of the place he found the 1 clic button. the problem is not a security (safe as fight against malware) that have no solution I know, but "may this install break my openSUSE", which is different (conservation versus security). Example I lived: I want to install the very last digikam software. I don't know or don't understand for what kde version it's compiled and clic on 1-click Then the install software warns me, saying that he need to install KDE 4.8.9 (immaginary number). I think: if he have to install an other kde, it's because mine is not the necessary one, but last time I did, my install was broken, so no I don't want to continue. So the word "trust" is not good, it's not that I don't trust the repository (it's perfectly valid), but I don't want to use this one. So It would be better to have some notice like "You have to add this repository, are you sure you want to do this" (in fact it's what is done now) and add a button "proceed" (in place of "trust") sorry for my bad english, I hope I made the things clear but I'm not sure it is :-( jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Saurabh, Thanks for considering this as your project for GSoC. I agree with your conclusions, I've always been a fan of this workflow but I have always been slightly uneasy about the monicker "1-Click-Install". In reality it's a series of clicks to finish the installation process, and often the workflow is interupted. For me the ideal workflow would present a dialogue with 3 choices which if chosen would complete the operation. 1) Install and be notified of updates (subscribe to repos) 2) Install this time only (do not subscribe to repos) 3) Do not install ymp files trigger this dialogue, if there are conflicts rollback the attempted package addition. Then present an interface that is much less confusing to newbies than our current conflict resolution dialigue. Cheers the noo, Grhaam

I should have said, "I'm a fan of this functionality" s/workflow/functionality benJIman really hit the nail on the head with this; the ymp spec files triggering install options is a killer feature, I just think the existing tools make it a more complicated process than it needs to be. Why would anyone need to click "yes/continue" x4? if they/you agree, is x1 not enough? I have often signed a legal document in duplicate and sometimes in triplicate, but never as {quad,quin}tuplet. Yes means Yes
