Summary: Review Request: smart -- Next generation package handling tool https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=175438 ------- Additional Comments From jarkko@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 2006-01-23 03:54 EST ------- Of course I don't expect the packager to provide the gnome applet. But I hope upstream will provide it in the future (there is a bug about this in smart bug tracker IIRC). That "GUI is not GUI" was a bit weird comment. It is a GUI written using gtk libraries. I think there are other graphical user interface packages in the fedora repositories which are named like *-gui and which require gtk. Well, there are also *-gtk packages. I guess there is no policy about this thing. But I think the amount of the *-gui packages is a bit higher than the amount of *-gtk packages. So what happens if I don't have the graphical user interface package installed and I run "smart --gui"? Sorry, I would know that if I'd install. But I'm waiting for the official fedora extras version of smart. ;) Are you saying rpm has a bug that it allows executing the post scripts in wrong order when installing multiple packages at once? Even if that's true, I wonder why are you trying to fix it here with the Requires(pre/postun) stuff. You should be filing a bug against rpm (or yum/apt-rpm/smart if the bug appears using them) instead. I wonder why you need root permissions to just check if there are new updates available. Well, I know why. Because "smart update" needs root permission to download the new repo data. I'm just wondering why smart can't just check if the repo data is even newer on the servers (you can do that with HTTP headers). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
