Apper is included by default, and put front and center. How is that possible to interpret as "non-default/non-recommended package management?"
It's only put front and center as an updater applet.
For "generic" packkage management it's nearly impossible not to know that YaST and zypper are the official, SUSE tools.
That's precisely the point - my *average* users need to be able to install updates. They rarely need to install software. How is this even a debate?! Updating for KDE users is broken. It is a key, basic functionality. It should be of a high priority. Ordinary users do not use the command line. If I told them they had to learn to do so in order to get updates they would interpret this as an *insult*, and rightly so. Ordinary users should not be playing around in YaST, because it is too easy for them to break other things accidentally. This is why the updater applet exists - it is perfect for ordinary desktop users. It should appear periodically, and let them know that updates are available. They will click on it and provide their password in order to update, but that is the *most* you can expect of them. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
