some improvement requests

NOTE: This bug was moved here from the redhat bugzilla at: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15839 Opened by david.balazic@uni-mb.si on 2000-08-09 11:46:25 I have here some lower priority bugs and RFE's for gnorpm : - When clicking on INSTALL and the "Install" window appears, it starts to load the package lists from an inserted CD. This can take several 10 seconds. Some kind of progress indication would be nice. Now the only thing I can do is to watch the CD LED and wait for the "Filter" drop down menu to become enabled. ( It is disabled while the list is loading ) - If the filter ( in the "Install" window ) is set to "All but installed", it display packages that were installed from the same window. ( select a package, install it , it is still listed , but shouldn't be ) BTW, what is the difference between "All but installed" and "Uninstalled"* ? * - I'm not sure if this is the exact name, but it is similar - I case of dependency problems it could ( offer to ) automatically select the needed packages
The first and third points have both been requested previously. I have started looking at implementing both, but I should try to make more progress. The second point is a repeat of bug #57447 and is being worked on.
There should also be a notification when an install is complete, e.g. "The install was done properly" or something. Currently, it just stops, leaveing the user wondering whether everything did all right or not.
According to http://www.jamesh.id.au/software/gnorpm/ this application is unmaintained since 1999. Please feel free to reopen the bugs in future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development.
