Description

We can change the format a little bit, but I do not want to change the verbosity at all. We have received complaints that people are unsure what anaconda is going to do storage-wise. This dialog shows exactly what is going to happen - every single step anaconda's going to take. We are going to remove some existing stuff, we are going to make some new stuff. We don't really have the information to group it together into "Remove /boot partition", etc. This display is a list of all the storage actions. They don't get grouped together into some more general format, and I don't believe it's worth the time to spend working on that when we could be working on other things off our (very large) list instead. Finally, I do not like comparisons to gparted. This isn't gparted, this is anaconda. I don't think gparted looks very good at all. Basically, what I'm saying is: I'm open to changes we can make here. However, (1) I think this is one place where we absolutely need to err on the side of too verbose. People want to know exactly what anaconda's going to do, so we should tell them. (2) I don't think it's worth the effort to do anything too fancy here, given (1) and how much other stuff we've got that needs to be done. This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
