Description Perret Florian 2005-08-12 10:05:47 UTC

When you want to upgrade RPM (not with YOU), you should add the FTP one by one
with "hand". You should enter the FTP server first then the folder in a second time.

Three modifications :
- Why cannot allow to enter the totality in one time ?
- Why don't add, when rigt-cliking on a ftp adress in Konqueror or Firefox, a
menu "add this FTP as an upgrade source" ?
- For launching the upgrade, you should click on "packages" then "all" then
right click and choose a sub-menu. Why don't add a button directly accessible in
"YAST install software" ?

I don't completely understand what you are asking for. 
Please, describe step by step what you need to do now and then which 
steps should be possible to simplify.

Comment 2 Klaus Kämpf 2005-08-12 12:23:07 UTC

It seems its about "adding installation source" where indeed the values are 
asked separately instead of asking for an URL.

Comment 3 Lukas Ocilka 2005-08-12 12:26:40 UTC

It is probably because the same dialog is used for more than only FTP source.
It might be, FTP, HTTP, samba (?), NFS, HDD, ...

And you have the "Source type", "Server" and "Server directory" ... (+ options)

Comment 4 Perret Florian 2005-08-12 12:50:56 UTC

Its effectively the first point. Copy and paste a lot of URL is not easiest by
this way. Screenshot here : http://susewiki.org/images/b/bd/Add_yast_source.png

The third point is about the mean to launch a verification of new available RPM,
after you have put new FTP. (traduction from french are mine, the word could be
different) In Yast in "Install and delete software" you take "packages group",
then you scroll down and choose "all". Then you right click on a package and
select "all in this list" then in a sub-menu  "upgrade if a newer version is
available".
-> Instead of all of this, is it possible to just have a visible button wich
make this esier ?
-> Is it possible to merge the upgrade of FTP server (actually in "change
install support) and the launch RPM download and install ?

This should be a wizard, asking one question per step. 
The first question should be the type of source or 'URL'. 
 
-> Code10 
 
-> CC sigi

Comment 6 Perret Florian 2005-08-12 14:47:03 UTC

Great idea !
first question : add a type of source or 'URL' -> Yes/No
second : "should we upgrade this(these) source(s)"
third : "We find these package to upgrade (list of packages), do you want to
proceed ?"

Comment 7 Andreas Jaeger 2005-08-13 16:36:59 UTC

Yeah, let's do this for 10.1!

Comment 8 Arvin Schnell 2005-08-16 14:26:37 UTC

Ok. Klaus, please add it to the feature document and close the bug.

Comment 9 Perret Florian 2005-08-16 16:04:50 UTC

Where is this feature document ? I can't find it.

Comment 10 Andreas Hanke 2006-08-02 08:27:10 UTC

Source type "URL" is already added and present in 10.1. It's not a wizard, but the feature is there, integrated in the same place where the other ways of adding sources are.

=> FIXED?

Comment 11 Perret Florian 2006-08-02 08:37:34 UTC

This bug is now fixed for me, even if a wizard would be easier for newbie (in 10.2 ?).

Great job, thanks.

Comment 12 Jiri Srain 2006-08-18 12:22:19 UTC

OK, marking as FIXED.
