i´ve got mdv lxde... i was just saying that it would be great to make
the program guess what the user wants to find, save what the user
usually uses, and by that pattern the next time the user searches
would find what he would be most likely looking for. And just in case
he is not satisfied, a button to show more or less results.
If you do an upgrade, it starts with all your existing applications.
If you are doing a new install, of course you have to select the type of
install, etc.
What isn't clear is on what basis a program would guess what you would
want ?
It can't read your mind.
If you do updates, only updates for packages already installed will be
offered.
According to your selections, the updates offered could be security,
(other) correctives, (other) general updates, backports, or all updates.
As well, whenever you select a package to install, by default all
dependant packages not already installed will be selected for install.
If for some reason the requested package or any of its dependancies is
not available, the install will abort. Although this default could be
changed, it is highly inadvisable.
How would Rpmdrake know that you want it to "guess" what you are looking
for, and how would that be any better than entering search text ?
