P.S. I you were to have a fully correctly normalized tree it could look
something like this:
+ libtorque
+ architecture
| + i386
| | + libtorque-2.1.9-1.fc8.i386.rpm
| | \ libtorque-2.1.10-1.fc8.i386.rpm
| + x86_64
| | + libtorque-2.1.9-1.fc8.x86_64.rpm
| | \ libtorque-2.1.10-1.fc8.x86_64.rpm
\ version
+ 2.1.9-1.fc8
| + libtorque-2.1.9-1.fc8.i386.rpm
| \ libtorque-2.1.9-1.fc8.x86_64.rpm
\ 2.1.10-1.fc8
+ libtorque-2.1.10-1.fc8.i386.rpm
\ libtorque-2.1.10-1.fc8.x86_64.rpm
But perhaps it is good to consider the balance between "formally correct" and
"usability" on one side and the balance between "reusable" and "solves _this_
problem" on the other side.
This isn't going to get changed at this point as pirut is pretty much entirely EOL'd and only getting critical fixes for older releases. In Fedora 9 and later, any such concerns can be filed against PackageKit/gnome-packagekit. |
[FEATURE REQUEST] I'm using Febora 8 with pirut-1.3.28-1.fc8 If I do a search for something I'm shown a lot of package names ... in a, to me, completely random order. This bugzilla item is intended as a feature request to improve usability of Pirut by improving the way RPMs are displayed to the end user. In general: Please add sorting and filtering of the result list. What I have in mind: - "Sort by": Name, version, architecture, etc. - "Show all versions" (which what we have now) "Only latest version" - "Show platforms" (which what we have now) "Only my architecture" (i.e. i386 / x86_64 / etc. ) "Only specific architecture" (i.e. i386 / x86_64 / etc. ) - Showing each found package as a mini-tree in the interface which has tree nodes that group by achitecture/version/etc. Example of 1 package: In Fedora 8 we have (yes, the i386 is present in the x86_64 tree): releases/8/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/libtorque-2.1.9-1.fc8.i386.rpm releases/8/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/libtorque-2.1.9-1.fc8.x86_64.rpm updates/8/x86_64/libtorque-2.1.10-1.fc8.i386.rpm updates/8/x86_64/libtorque-2.1.10-1.fc8.x86_64.rpm What I have in mind is a simplified form of what you see in many OLAP implementations: + libtorque + i386 | + libtorque-2.1.9-1.fc8.i386.rpm | \ libtorque-2.1.10-1.fc8.i386.rpm + x86_64 | + libtorque-2.1.9-1.fc8.x86_64.rpm | \ libtorque-2.1.10-1.fc8.x86_64.rpm + 2.1.9-1.fc8 | + libtorque-2.1.9-1.fc8.i386.rpm | \ libtorque-2.1.9-1.fc8.x86_64.rpm \ 2.1.10-1.fc8 + libtorque-2.1.10-1.fc8.i386.rpm \ libtorque-2.1.10-1.fc8.x86_64.rpm
