Hi people,
on Fosscamp, Michael of Ubuntu wondered if we could have a
standardized one click installation that upstream authors and ISVs
could use regardless of the distribution.
I understood that currently Ubuntu/Debian have only "apt URLs"[1]
that look like
apt:mutt
apt:mutt?section=universe
Following the principle that simple things should be simple, I tried
a minimal ymp file to mimic "apt:mutt":
<metapackage xmlns="http://opensuse.org/Standards/One_Click_Install">
<group>
<software>
<item>
<name>mutt</name>
</item>
</software>
</group>
</metapackage>
$ /sbin/OneClickInstallUI `pwd`/mutt.ymp
(In 11.0 B3 it makes yast complain about missing widgets, because of
the missing repositories section, but eventually it installs mutt
fine)
The Standards page[2] is outdated, the ISV page[3] seems to have
an up-to-date specification of the format.
We already talked about the general idea 2 months ago: [4]
