Description Stephan Binner 2008-03-13 10:34:45 UTC

Have a look at the attached screenshot, the "Install All Available Sources" and "Do Not Install Any Sources" are extremely confusing: It's not obvious whether they trigger an action as their icon indicates (they don't) or are options (they don't change their state). As options there are contradicting. As action they first one is maybe mislabeled (should be "Matching Sources" and in the "Extra" menu?)?

I fear this discussion is moot since installing source RPMs never worked at all so far with libzypp, and I don't see it working in the near future.

Anyway, the idea behind those menu entries is that they are the counterpart to "install all in this list" or "set all in this list to "don't install"", only for source RPMs.

Moving those menu entries out. They don't do anything anyway. libzypp lacks any infractructure for source RPMs.

Removed those menu entries.
