Description Dave Malcolm 2005-10-27 21:46:58 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051018 Epiphany/1.8.2

Description of problem:
I like to keep an eye on which package are coming from which yum repositories when updating: "Core" vs "Extras vs self-built from SRPM packages.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pup-0.1.4-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Run pup
2.  Observe cute little doggy

  

Actual Results:  "Updates Available" window contains long list of packages, with no indication of where they're coming from

Expected Results:  Suggest the list should be a tree view, with top level nodes representing the repos from which the packages are being grabbed, with the tree fully expanded by default.

Additional info:

Comment 1 Dave Malcolm 2005-10-27 21:49:06 UTC

Lots of useful information is getting printed to stdout (the repository, the
size etc) which might well be relevant to the GUI.

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2005-10-27 22:00:40 UTC

Tree views are disasters for this sort of thing.

Ultimately -- why do you care where the software is coming from?  I can see it
_maybe_ being something that's worth displaying in the details but not in the
default view.

The default view is actually going to be changing more to be along the lines of
"Updated evolution packages available", "Updated fontconfig packages available"
-- at first, the grouping is going to be by srpm, but hopefully we'll get to
where we can actually use the actual update information instead from the update
system.  And then rawhide and repos without that metadata will fallback to the
srpm based version.

Speaking about details, it will be nice to get information about the size of
packages. It is especially true for anaconda as well because there is no way to
know the size of package before the installation. For example:

gimp-2.2.10  ---  10MB.

And with FC6, we'll have much better update details thanks to lmacken
