RFE: Streamline up2date by not asking to click forward after retreival and installation
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:39 EST
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Description of problem: I would like to cut down on the number of clicks required to run up2date. I would like an option or in up2date-config that allows for automatic retreival and installation. E.g., once you checked programs for download, it would retreive the rpms, and then continue to the next page automatically (either installation or finish). Also the installation page would continue to the finish page without clicking forward. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-4.3.11-2.1.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run up2date and choose packages to install 2. Retrieve and installation require you to click Forward Actual Results: Retrieve and installation require you to click Forward Expected Results: I want an option to allow a streamlining affect so I do not have to click forward to install or see the finish screen. I would like to: choose the packages see deps, if any watch the retrieval/installation screens then see the finish page that tells me if it all worked without having to click on Forward between screens. Additional info:
Created attachment 99207 [details] Patch that doesn't make you click forward after retrieval and installation I was thinking something along these lines. I have to create an option in up2date-config, but something like this works for me. If this seems reasonable, I can code the option.
I like the idea, I'll take a look at the patch. I don't think I'd even bother with a config option, I'll just make it the new default
I woud also love to see this option added. Updating on OS X and Windoze is much more streamlined than it currently is with up2date. Too much clicking is a bad thing! -Sean :)
Cool! What about having the first page be the channelsPage? The welcome page seems frivolous to me and there should be room to add a few words on the channelsPage.
A "Yes to All" option when unknown GPGs pop up would kick arse

I vote for this bug. up2date is much too noisy. Since the process of updating packages takes rather a long time this is very annoying. In synaptic you push "reload", "mark all upgrades", "apply" and that's it. I would like to see similar functionality in up2date.
Note that FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy, and FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy only for security issues. Please retest this bug against a still supported version and retest. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4 and is a security issue, please reopen the bug and assign it to that version and Fedora Legacy. If it occurs on RHEL, please change to that product and the appropriate version. Note that up2date has been replaced by pirut/pup for FC5 and FC6, the only fully-supported versions of Fedora Core. Please test pirut for software updates and file bugs as appropriate.
