Description rens groenewegen 2012-01-12 23:11:51 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1

yast2 profile manager is missing from opensuse 12.1

this pkg enables managing scpm from the yast2 tool.

scpm is still provided in 12.1

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.search for yast2-profile-manager
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
no package found

Expected Results:  
should have found the package

the scpm tool is a very practical thing if one has to switch roles  / locations all the time.

I think it is an essential for laptop users, especially if one has different network environments, etcetera

I worked around it by installing it from the 11.x dvd, but that is not going to work forever, I guess.... :-(

Comment 3 Stephan Kulow 2012-01-20 08:22:26 UTC

scpm was dropped and reborn as Philippe promised to maintain it for openSUSE. That promise did not include yast2 code

Comment 4 Jiří Suchomel 2012-01-20 08:29:26 UTC

Well, I can keep maintaining yast2 code as long as the library api remains

Comment 5 rens groenewegen 2012-01-21 11:45:06 UTC

status needinfo, but I do no see a question ??


anyway, who needs to be convinced that this is an essential for laptop users ?

shouldn't the SuSE people be interested to keep this alive ? (SLED needs this :-) )

it's a great tool, but you cant give it to folks without a working interface.......

bump

Comment 7 Jiří Suchomel 2012-02-08 07:10:03 UTC

The question is probably for maintainer: Philippe, do you keep scpm API, so I can continue maintaining yast2-profile-manager?

Comment 8 Philippe Andersson 2012-02-08 16:04:46 UTC

Yes, the API for scpm hasn't changed (and I now know who I need to talk to if there ever is a need to change it ;-) ).

Comment 9 Jiří Suchomel 2012-02-09 07:30:28 UTC

OK, I've submitted yast2-profile-manager to Factory again

created request id 103470
