Hello, i agree with the fact that 1 click install is not always working smoothly, it sometimes lacks dependencies , it did when i installed suse 11, for example with http://opensuse-community.org/codecs-kde.ymp 1 error -> 1 bug seems the key ( ? ) Fabrice Cristian Morales Vega a écrit :

I see there are still users complaining about the 1-Click links from http://opensuse-community.org/ not working (meaning they don't have full multimedia support after using them). The thing is these new users don't report the problem at bugzilla (even if they write loooong messages in the forums, who knows why...), and more experienced users prefer to use lower level methods*. So, looking at http://opensuse-community.org/codecs-gnome.ymp I have some questions: - The file lists some repositories and package names, without any relation between them, nothing more. Doesn't the format allows to give more info ("install this package only from this repo"...)? If I must trust http://en.opensuse.org/Standards/One_Click_Install you can't even specify the priority of each repo... - The file lists "gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good"... well, both Packman and OSS provide a package with such a name. Which version will be installed? From http://en.opensuse.org/One_Click_Install/Design it seems that yast-pkgbindings is the one that makes the decision... without any special handler, just installs what it would have installed if I would have manually added the repos (with a "default", unspecified, priority). The thing is it isn't obvious what yast-pkgbindings will select on each openSUSE version (see http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-softwaremgmt/2008-09/msg00004.html).

With this situation it looks pretty difficult to me to create a 1-Click link to add multimedia suppport that will work 100% of time. You just don't know which package will be installed when there are multiple packages with the same name (most of gstreamer ones...) - Package selection (yast-pkgbindings) behavior isn't clear, different between version. - Repository addition seems to have undefined cases. Which priorities they will have? If the user already has Packman with priority X and he clicks on this 1-Click link what will happen? The priority will be maintained? The unspecified priority from the link will overwrite the priority from the user system? What if the user already has Packman, but from a different mirror? There is a reliable way to identify a repo? Name, description and URL aren't enough.

* I will never click on "ok" until I see an exact list of which packages (with name, version, release and arch) are going to be installed. It would not be a bad idea to add such a list, at least in a "debug mode", just for testing purposes.

Yes, I have added Pkg::ResolvableInstallRepo() function which explicitly installs selected resolvable (package) from the specified repository. It has been added specially for 1-click installer. Grep shows that the function is used in OneClickInstallWorkerFunctions.ycp, line 156. If it installs packages from different repositories than expected then report a bug into bugzilla. -- Best Regards Ladislav Slezák Yast Developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: lslezak@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 960 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+help@opensuse.org

Off-topic, but it would be a great addition also to zypper. The "--repo" option from "zypper install" is... counterintuitive, at least the one from openSUSE 11.0. You would expect it to install the selected packages from the selected repo... *without* disabling other repos. All repos (OBS, Packman...) depend on the official one (OSS), so a "zypper install -r packman <package>" can easily return a (stupid) dependency error because it isn't searching dependencies in OSS. In http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/zypp/trunk/zypper/doc/TODO it is said: "+ zypper up --some-option repofoo (like 'rug up repo'?) - update packages from specified repos without disabling the others"... so I suppose you already know about this and I haven't opened a bug report for zypper in... should I? In my opinion a new option isn't needed, but "--repo" behavior should be changed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+help@opensuse.org

Hi,

as asked above, will there be a firefox3 version in the opensuse10.3-opensuse*** repositories when support for ff2 runs out mid december?

We will either be backporting security fixes, or forward upgrading to ff3. Its not yet clear. ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+help@opensuse.org
