[yast-devel] Installation summary screen
Hello, some days ago, I did a Tumbleweed installation. One noticable change (since my last fresh install ~2 years ago) was that the installation summary screen (the screen before the installation starts to modify the harddisk, installs packages etc.) does no longer show partitioning changes. OTOH, there's now a separate summary screen listing partitioning changes directly after the partitioning step, so it's "only" moved, not lost. Was that an intentional change or an oversight while switching to storage-ng? (Personally, I'd prefer to have the partitioning summary in the final summary screen so that I can double-check which partitions get deleted before hitting the "go!" button.) Regards, Christian Boltz --

Hi Christian, is it intentional change and I believe it is older then 2 years and definitively older then storage-ng. This summary screen still exists, but we do not show it anymore. I think it was done as part of cleaning of summary screen as it already contain quite a lot stuff and decision was to use only single tab summary ( previously there was two tabs ). I think Kubic uses partitioning as part of summary, so it is really product specific decision that can be tuned by project manager in control.xml for product.

Time flies, it was 5 years ago. See https://github.com/yast/skelcd-control-openSUSE/commit/eb7b67e49a5be51f483f9...

Either time flies, or I didn't care enough about the partitioning two years ago - back then, it was a new laptop, so there was no data to damage. This time I re-installed the laptop (to finally get the new btrfs layout), therefore I cared more to not destroy the data partition ;-)

Thanks for explaining all these details! I still think partitioning is important enough to have it in the summary screen (in all products), but if I'm the only one who noticed this in the last 5 years, feel free to ignore me ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Abgesehen davon, scheint in der heutigen Zeit jeder davon auszugehen, dass die Windowsbedienung jedem schon bei der Geburt mitgegeben wurde und jeder der Linux nutzt automatisch ein komplizierten Umsteigevor- gang vor sich hat.

Actually, I also noticed this quite a long time back, was not thrilled it disappeared, but as a mere User (which is basically *all* I was then) and without apparently anyone else missing it, I did not think I would get anywhere asking for it back. I learned to live without it, but like you, would like to see it back. -- -Gerry Makaro openSUSE Member openSUSE Forum Moderator openSUSE Contributor aka Fraser_Bell on the Forums, OBS, IRC, and mail at openSUSE.org Fraser-Bell on Github -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org
