... and that's the point I'm trying to make. Look at how many steps are involved there. That's not even including the fact that you have to know what you mean by a repository and what to run to add one.
what can be simpler? my server don't need multimedia.
Should we have more install defaults (add a "multimedia platform" option??
The defaults aren't the issue. I agree that server platforms, at least not multimedia servers, shouldn't need a bunch of crap they don't use. Use the example that I had with Ubuntu. Now expand that beyond multimedia. Any software that has the ability to reach out to extend itself should be configured to be able to do so, both on the client end or the server end. If we can come up with a way to aggregate what repositories offer and automatically offer (and select) the correct repos by priority then we can leverage our existing infrastrucutre to do this. As a first step, another openSUSE user contacted me off-list about a test project that he'd set up that does this automatically for gstreamer-related packages. I removed mp3 support, added this repo, and it found everything automatically and my music started playing. All that's needed is the automatic adding of the repo and we're good to go. - -Jeff Ubuntu example: http://jeffreymahoney.com/images/mp3-1.png ... boxes that required minimal or no interaction and passed quickly enough that i didn't have time to collect screenshots ... http://jeffreymahoney.com/images/mp3-2.png - -- Jeff Mahoney SuSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkz7tXAACgkQLPWxlyuTD7JpcACeNi50roLUtaIZ+rwJx2brx1Ik dJ4AnAq252gnKdrZopnVexWB2/bRes58 =LZxf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
