@Jano: But I would not name them 'package updates', because they are no updates as they violate some solver policy. Those are just 'higher versions' which cant be autoselected for some reason. Telling it that way the user will not assume he's missing something if they are not installed.
I agree, i would just like the 'section title' to be max 79 chars long, and that's a bit hard in this case. Any suggestion? But maybe we should exclude the changed arch case - seems a bit useless, and it is actually what Harald reports IIUC. And list just vendor/priority/deps cases.
+ I'd simply write out a line telling that there are N packages with higher versions available, which were not selected due to some policy violation. The full list (including versions and violated policy) can be seen in the detailed view.
I'd like to keep the simple list of package names shown right away (my preference, but if more people will ask not to show them, i'll change it of course), but i agree on the detailed view, where the reason would be listed as well. Currently one has to do 'zypper up packagename' too see the reason.
++ If there is some spare time, offer a way to pick packages from this list and add them to the transaction.
Yup, i have this on my radar, together with other options to modify current selection when the summary is shown (like take away from or add to the list, show detailed info, changelog of a package from the list, etc). Just the spare time is missing :) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
