* Oh the error message boxes need to be larger. * The slider--perhaps a gnome relaease issue--does note scale correctly for a long list and a small message box. The user thinks they only have four or five packages selected in this situation. Several screen shots are attached too. Created attachment 126745 [details]
First error message from pirut.
Last file is the most important.

Number 7 and last
Note later in the file where I would click and unclick the packages with issues
but still receive the same error message. The key is that I noticed that
subsequent calculations were shorter that then original package list
calculation. Hence pirut did not use the new list even though the logs in the
screen showed that the packages were not there.

I forgot about this file. Must have beent between 0.txt and 1.txt.
Tried to carefully remove all the packages hoping to resolve the problem. Note
the x's on the left side where I checked off off each package with issues.

All packages selected in extras. Slider is too small. If you move slider it looks like you selected five packages.

Same issue as 126755 but on the error message log after dependancy failure.

Screen shot showing how I tried to click and unclick to resolve issues in pirut.
* Final note. Ok so this time I want to put all the packages on five computers. It took a long time to get one done. Other than regexing the /var/log/yum.conf is there a way to log the packages selected for later scripting in anaconda. It seems like I could note figure out how to use yumdownloader or yum to suck down the packages I wanted to a local repository. I am note left with a list that I can < pipe into yum, et all. Any ideas on this or is this another enhancement idea? Greg Here's another design consideration for pirut and perhaps pup, and yumex. If I put Nautilus in view as list mode, then I am able to click, control click, or shift click items in the list. Even if you can put a select all, control a, or deselect all, as buttons, then pirut is still missing the expected click and shift click a range functionality. If I want to select all the m17n, multilingualization, packages, then I have to click and select each one. That seems like an important and expected feature of a list has been left out. I can confirm the same pirut behavior Recalculating deps is done properly now and I've made some other UI changes which address some of the other things here. If you have further issues with pirut-1.1.13 or later, please file new bugs -- and one per issue so that they can be reasonably addressed and closed. |
