Description Calvin Gaisford 2007-08-28 17:53:57 UTC 
If I choose to use the online repositories during an install, I'm prompted two more times to accept the EULA.  I understand this is probably done for each repository the system is connected to, but it's very annoying to an end user and they have already accepted the EULA for Opensuse 10.3.  Don't make them accept additional times when there is no additional software being offered.
Comment 1 Stefan Hundhammer 2007-08-31 13:26:35 UTC 
I don't know if this is feasible. Each EULA might have a different text.
Comment 2 Jiri Srain 2007-09-03 14:09:05 UTC 
We may check checksums of the EULAs and if they are the same, then skip the check.

However, IANAL and don't know if it is OK to expect that user who accepted a license for one repository automatically accepts the very same license for all other repositories.

Stephan, probably your turn...

Sounds like a good plan to simplify this interface. I don't think there is a legal problem, but maybe Ciaran can clarify that
Comment 5 Stephan Kulow 2007-09-13 09:01:29 UTC 
OK, for 10.3 we will have the same EULA on OSS and NON-OSS 10.3 FTP tree. So how much effort is the md5sum check? It would make a huge difference because the online repos are default, so you get the EULA dialog 3 times by default.
Comment 7 Jiri Srain 2007-09-13 09:09:30 UTC 
Should not be much work, I think it should be doable within one day.
Comment 13 Stephan Kulow 2007-09-13 13:15:19 UTC 
any of your options is fine, just if you need additional perl modules in instsys I veto
Comment 14 Lukas Ocilka 2007-09-13 13:26:11 UTC 
OK, reassigning to myself :)
Comment 15 Lukas Ocilka 2007-09-14 07:18:24 UTC 
- Fixed behavior when the same licence had to be accepted several
  times - for every single repository added. Now, a licence has
  to be accepted only once (during one YaST run) (#305503).
- Adjusted RPM dependency (md5sum binary) (#305503).
- yast2-packager-2.15.79

Combination of MD5sum + file length has been chosen.
