Feature changed by: Peg Russell (opensuseforumorg42) Feature #310199, revision 2 Title: Repository Announcements openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Robin Knapp (rknapp) Description: I often read announcements in Mailing Lists that repositories are renamed, deleted or whatever. Especially in the KDE repos there is currently much restructuration ongoing. I propose to implement a feature in libzypp and its GUIs to be able to show important announcements for each repository. Ideally, multiple repositories can issue one common announcement which will be displayed only once. Examples: - This repository will swich from KDE 4.5 to KDE4.6. To keep KDE 4.5, _switch_to_repository_xyz_. - The repositories x, y and z will be moved on $date. Click _here_ to change it now - This repository is obsolete. _remove_. (Maybe repository switching, removing, adding etc. can be done by clicking on a link in that text) + Discussion: + #1: Peg Russell (opensuseforumorg42) (2010-07-22 00:23:54) + Great suggestion. + The first indication of repository changes/demises is often an error + when doing a refresh. After getting the error, I start a search + (usually google) trying to figure out what has been changed or removed. + I have worked with other products that provide an integrated feed that + is focused and specific, so the message isn't lost and time isn't + wasted. Repositories are the lifeblood of a stable and progressive + system and an integrated announcement and/or action could be a user- + friendly valuable feature. + Thank you. + + -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310199
