Does insnotify()/delnotify() work (where in the .spec file does one set it)? Can we use it? Bubli said it worked, but was too annoying and removed from UIs - maybe it wasn't used only for "must see" messages...
Oh, it wasn't exactly what I said and how it works in UIs now :) insnotify()/delnotify() messages are now displayed iff it is user himself who selects package for installation/deletion (i.e. it is not solver or something else).
What was removed from UIs was displaying these messages on updating the package, the frequent argument against being that it slows down system update, and the user has to be there and click these messages away as they pop-up in the course of update. In addition to the bug mentioned above, here is another one: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=308410
Thanx for correcting me :O) This is something that we could solve by logging the messages somewhere and notifying the user at the end of installation iff there were some "must see" messages. This would be the non-interactive mode i mentioned earlier. The question is whether _all_ the insnotify()/delnotify() messages should be "must see" or we need a way to distinguish between "must see" and "nice to see, but not really required". -- cheers, jano Ján Kupec YaST team ---------------------------------------------------------(PGP)--- Key ID: 637EE901 Fingerprint: 93B9 C79B 2D20 51C3 800B E09B 8048 46A6 637E E901 ---------------------------------------------------------(IRC)--- Server: irc.freenode.net Nick: jniq Channels: #zypp #yast #suse #susecz ---------------------------------------------------------(EOF)---
