From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3; Linux) Description of problem: The new Packages tool is brilliant. I think a search / filter option would be useful to add to redhat-config-packages. Imagine a search / filter along the lines of the following: Search in [ category ^] for ____________________ ( ) installed packages ( ) available packages ( ) both Categories would include name, name and description, vendor, and other useful fields from spec files. The result is a cut down list of packages, not sorted into their comps groups but rather just a flat list. Eg, you'd like to install tex and you're not sure of the packages name: Search in name for tex ( ) installed packages (*) available packages ( ) both If you were running low on hard disk space and wanted to remove some of your non critical apps: Search in desciption for game (*) installed packages ( ) available packages ( ) both If you wanted to know quickly what packages from a particular vendor were installed: Search in vendor for oracle (*) installed packages ( ) available packages ( ) both I think this would be extremely useful for both new and experienced users alike. I realize Red Hat staff are extremely busy right now chasing real bugs, but I think it would benefit users to mark the bug as DEFERRED if this feature is worth implementing. Thanks, Mike Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: This is not a bug, just a suggestion. Additional info:
Definitely a reasonable idea, probably in combination with the more traditional "all the packages we ship" view. Not for this release, though.
Reopen now when 8.0 has been released?
