Well, you are right and you are not. Any module can modify the package selection within its dialogs, so it is safe to recompute the dependencies. Obviously, the correct solution is that each module cares about its dependencies itself. But there are more problems in the package selection proposal, it calls for complete rewrite, but it is unfortunately too late for 10.1/SLES10. Keeping it on my list for after 10.1/SLES10, sorry, I'm afraid of fixing it now... How can changes in the partition effect the package selection? If you change the partitioning so that the selected packages don't fit into the system, the package selection is reset. IMO this should not happen, it's annoying for the user. I would prefer a message/dialog with info that now the partition is to small and if I would reset the package selection. If the user change first the package selection and then change the partitions the automatic reset is really annoying. comment 3: Yes, that's a valid reason, but can't that be verified by looking at the amount of data that should be stored without re-evaluating? [And I noticed that it's even done after the keyboard-layout was changed. But that's explained with comment 2, I think. A pity, but I agree, it is better to look at that after 10.1. Danny, I would appreciate if you could create a FATE-entry for that.] (In reply to comment #1) > Well, you are right and you are not.

What impact can a keyboard layout or a time zone change have on package selection? jsuchome, please comment comment #6 :) [it can, but better to hear it from kbd/timezone maintainer] Thanks AFAIK Keyboard and timezone configuration don't have an impact to package selection. I also think they don't trigger new resolving of package dependencies, but I'm not sure how this is done. Sorry, but let's postpone it to the 10.2 Things like this one cannot be added before :( *** Bug 184817 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 200542 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Already fixed for 10.2. |
