[Bug 466490] software management: improve import/export to real management

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466490 User bluedzins@wp.pl added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466490#c3 --- Comment #3 from Maciej Pilichowski 2009-01-20 04:11:16 MST --- Stefan, I mean importing is way too limited. I would like to install _almost_ the same set of packages on different machine, but the problem is it is 32-bit -> 64-bit shift. Besides, some packages are custom-made, so they cannot be installed just like that. zypper and rpm do not provide any GUI so they are not suitable for comparisons and exclusions at all. Or maybe I give an example -- run Komparator, I wish rpm-importer would do exactly the same for rpms as Komparator do for files.

To me it looks like you have totally different expectations what this feature is all about.

Nope, I know its limitations, so this is not a bug report, but wish report -- I wish this feature would have more capabilities, like comparing the imported list with currently installed list (of packages). And first of all -- providing split view, because looking at just one list at a time is hard to manage those imports. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
