Description Matthias Clasen 2009-07-28 14:51:34 UTC
With gpk-log and gpk-sources both being available from gpk-application now, we should remove the separate menuitems for these in

Applications > System Tools > Software Log Viewer 
System > Administration > Software Sources

This will help to unclutter the menus and make them more accessible.

Comment 1 Richard Hughes 2009-08-02 08:56:38 UTC
I'm slightly concerned that people won't know that the feature is available, seeing as the tools are not available in the update viewer UI. I think the software sources UI is important enough to leave in the menus, but I agree the log viewer can go if we make it available from the update viewer somehow.

The only way I can see loosing Software Sources from the menu is if we allow the user to turn on updates-testing packages from the update viewer, and that sort of thing.

Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2009-08-02 15:18:26 UTC
These really have no place in the update viewer. 
If anything, I could see making gpk-repo available from gpk-prefs.

Comment 3 Richard Hughes 2009-08-06 09:09:39 UTC
I've moved both .desktop files to the -extra subpackage (not installed by default) -- lets see what bugs come in for F12 GA and decide what to do then.

Thanks

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2009-11-16 11:09:02 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.

maybe ready for close?

was this sufficiently addressed in fc13-kde by 'software management' gui 
( kpackagemanager ? ) by the combining of: 

add/remove tab, 
softwareupdate tab, 
settings tab (contains software source selection)

functionalities into the one gui?

Comment 7 Bug Zapper 2010-11-04 10:40:16 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

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 prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 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 please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

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.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2010-12-05 06:40:32 UTC
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 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.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
