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 16:18 EST ------- My opinions: - -usermode should be folded into the main package * No because the graphical user interface and applet packages only require it and will bring it in when needed. We don't want new dependencies for the main package if they aren't really needed. - add >= 4.3 versions to rpm-python and rpm-build dependencies * Yes because this package requires those (rpm-python >= 4.3 for running it, rpm-build >= 4.3 for building it). - Requires(pre/postun) abuses should be pruned * Yes because you should not try to fix rpm/yum/apt bugs here. This is not a blocker for me though because they don't break anything. - -gtk should be renamed to -gui * Yes because it tells the user what it is for. You should think like the user here, not like the developer (User knows that she wants to run "smart --gui". She doesn't know which toolset/library the --gui uses.). Any comments about the applet and root permissions issue? I wonder why it is implemented like that when a cron job for the package database/cache (whatever it is called) update (I mean "smart update") would simplify things a lot. And make it much more secure too (you would need root permissions to change anything). -- 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
