Starting zypper automatically looks too "smart" for me, I'd leave the decision to use zypper (or something else) to the user.
Think of it in a different way.
Majority of users are looking for performed operations, not tools that are used.
If you plan to provide text ready for copy paste, you can issue warning: --------------------------------------------------------------------- "yast -i <package>" is depreciated, using "zypper install <package>" instead. --------------------------------------------------------------------- and then install package.
This way 99% of users that follow old way, possibly following some out of date instructions, have nothing to do, and 1% that rely on some "yast -i" specific behavior have warning if result is not what they expect.
I think to be really backward compatible, there should be a popup that informs the user as shown above and waits a specific time for user accept or deny and if the timeout passed without user response the default action should be to run "zypper install <package>". In old YCP one would have used something like Popup::TimedAnyQuestion() to implement such a behaviour. This way "yast -i <package>" could still work even unattended. Perhaps some users call "yast -i <package>" in scripts? This might be of importance for those users that are not yet included in the 99% and 1% above ;-) Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH -- Maxfeldstrasse 5 -- 90409 Nuernberg -- Germany HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendoerffer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org
