[softwaremgmt] MetaPackage schema
Greetings all, In the last few weeks I've had several suggestions for improving the Single click install using metapackages which require altering the original schema. I've put an updated proposed schema and sample instance at http://en.opensuse.org/Standards/One_Click_Install The updated requirements for the schema is: Use case - Allow the user to install package(s) from (a) repositor(y|ies) (he|she) may or may not have in (his|her) system repositories. Scope -In scope is automating the process of the package manager adding repositories and installing packages. - In scope is presenting the user with sufficient information to understand the automated process. - Out of scope is any package management details such as package dependencies. Requirements - Action must be triggered with a one click. - Should be possible to include trigger on web page - Should be possible to include trigger on physical media for ISVs - Security (user should confirm adding of sources) - Should be possible to override auto-detection of repository type. - Should be possible to include multiple mirrors - Should be possible to have multiple translations of strings. - Should be possible to have one button/file to click on to install the product(s) for any version of the distribution. - Files should not need to be very big (translations optional etc) so download time is negligible. If you can think of any more requirements please reply to this message. Please also have a look at the new schema/sample instance and reply if you can see any problems with it or have any other suggestions.
