There has been a lot of related discussion. + +><i> The categories on the left shows a lot of info, but I really miss +</I>><i> subcategories that makes it even easier to find it. +</I> +They are still there, as of Mandriva 2010.2, the base for the initial +Mageia release. + +><i> It'll be something similar to THIS: +</I>><i> +</I>><i> P2P-programs -> Sharing -> Linuxdcpp +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Is it going to be possible to filter out if you don't want to SEE the +</I>><i> libs when you search for programs & games? +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Just to hide them. +</I> +Filtering is a natural addition. It would be nice to also have the +option of limiting searching to a package group, which would help solve +the problem. (P2P programs should be in the network/file_transfer +group, some 10 pages of packages.) +Most libraries are in the System/Library group. (At least shared +libraries.) +As well, mageia-appdb has the concept of applications, which should +ignore libraries. Unfortunately there is no clear, unambiguous means of +determining what should be considered an "application"" Some users will +include only graphical packages, and others would want to include +console program packages. Many library packages include executable +console programs. +We could also add tags, to complement package groups. +Adding a combination of filtering/selection factors will help solve your +(and many other's) problem. + +><i> +</I>><i> One last thing. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> When adding sources either via MCC (or the similar tool in Mageia) or +</I>><i> from the installation of Mageia it would be great if you could choose IF +</I>><i> you want to add Debug, Testing, Backports-medias instead of getting them +</I>><i> automatically when you click on Add complete sources in +</I>><i> drakrpm-edit-media (or similar tool in Mageia). Not all users intend to +</I>><i> use Debug-packages all the time. I'd like the possibility to add +</I>><i> Debug-medias afterwards if I haven't done that before. There's no such +</I>><i> option so you have to remove all current sources to add them. I DO know +</I>><i> that you can use Terminal/Console/Shell to add debug-medias as well, but +</I>><i> I'm talking graphically now. +</I> +Actually the current (Mandriva) approach is probably optimal. All +repositories of the release are added, but all debug, testing, and +backport repositories are disabled by default. (I believe non-free as +well.) So if one wants to use such repositories, they can be readily +activated, otherwise they will be silently ignored. +If you want, you can always delete repositories which you are sure you +don't want, which will make your repository list shorter. But otherwise +have no effect. +Be sure you don't delete release, update, or backport repositories. +Updates should always be activated for security reasons, the others are +likely to be useful, sooner or later. +Repositories are configurable in rpmdrake under options > Software_media. +The left-most checkbox activates/deactivates the particular repository. + +><i> Take care & have a lovely day. +</I>><i> /Kristoffer +</I> +-- +André +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="003555.html">[Mageia-discuss] Questions & suggestions about the drakrpm-edit-media-alike tool amongst stuff concerning the installation of Mageia +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="003557.html">[Mageia-discuss] Questions & suggestions about the drakrpm-edit-media-alike tool amongst stuff concerning the installation of Mageia +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#3556">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#3556">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#3556">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#3556">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
