It seems people are interested interested in using PackageKit (http://www.packagekit.org/) which is meant to be a common package and update manager interface common for all distributions, they would just adapt the backend. But such work would require quite some effort, and there doesn't seem to exist any serious effort at the moment, so we should probably work out yast-gtk's selector.
They seem to want to go in the same direction, judging from the mock-ups on their page. So perhaps there can be some reciprocal code-contribution at a later time? Other than that, I agree. There are many merits in PackageKit but no advantage in usability; the project is too young to have received much user-feedback.
When I meant it requires serious effort, I wasn't talking about the GTK interface, but rather about the all operation. You know, installer's integration, Qt/ncurses interface, Zypp backend, extending it for Patterns and Languages. Possibly other stuff...
I'm certainly missing some dev-packages in order for your python script to work
Oh, you don't know what you're missing. PyGtk rocks for RAD. ;)
Found an image here: http://www.movingtofreedom.org/images/2007/03/ubuntu-add-remove-applications... I guess it is 'Synaptic in disguise'; pretty much standard, really - but the simple categorization, the nicely detailed descriptions of the applications and the colourful icons set it apart.
This is not what I would want for openSUSE, but it is a list-view done right IMHO.
Of course, it gets trickier when you want to present multiple versions, and allow for upgrades. Anyway, I guess we might go in that direction. I prefer though to have external buttons, rather than those check boxes. I think I would go for something like PackageKit. So, when I have the time, I will work on the storage, so we have some nice API, with some flexibility for some interface designing... We could maybe share some more thoughts then...
