Bug ID: 459115
Summary: Package list is rapidly reordered as packages are
downloaded and installed
Product: Discover
Version: 5.24.6
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: andy...@mail.ru
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When package updates are downloaded and installed in the Updater applet, the
packages in the list are reordered (apparently, in the order of decreasing
percentage of downloading progress). The problem is that often this reordering
happens too quickly, to the point when the list becomes completely unreadable.
This bug asks to make the package list order more stable. Here are a few
alternatives:
1. Order packages alphabetically. Keep this order stable regardless of whether
the package is downloaded or installed.
2. Order the following groups of packages: packages being installed, packages
being downloaded, pending packages. Within each group, order packages
alphabetically.
In no case packages should be ordered by the progress of their
downloading/installation.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have multiple package updates - the more the better.
2. Open the Updater applet and run the update.
OBSERVED RESULT
As the update goes on, you can see that packages are quickly reordered in the
list. It is hard to see which packages are at which progress.
EXPECTED RESULT
Package order should be more stable.
