Hi people, on Fosscamp, Michael of Ubuntu wondered if we could have a standardized one click installation that upstream authors and ISVs could use regardless of the distribution. I understood that currently Ubuntu/Debian have only "apt URLs"[1] that look like apt:mutt apt:mutt?section=universe Following the principle that simple things should be simple, I tried a minimal ymp file to mimic "apt:mutt": <metapackage xmlns="http://opensuse.org/Standards/One_Click_Install"> <group> <software> <item> <name>mutt</name> </item> </software> </group> </metapackage> $ /sbin/OneClickInstallUI `pwd`/mutt.ymp (In 11.0 B3 it makes yast complain about missing widgets, because of the missing repositories section, but eventually it installs mutt fine) The Standards page[2] is outdated, the ISV page[3] seems to have an up-to-date specification of the format. We already talked about the general idea 2 months ago: [4] [1] http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/10/22/the-apturl-protocol-handler-in-ubun...
