Summary
This merges the Myrlyn 1.0.0 version from pool/factory to pool/leap-16.0.
Leap PM's Opinion
I contacted Lubos Kocman on Slack to propose this to him, and he agreed.
Important Changes
See also the Release Notes in the project source repo.
Community Repo Support for Leap 16.0
When Leap 16.0 was released, there was no support yet on the server side of the community repos like Packman, so any attempt by users to add them via Myrlyn would have failed with errors. Weeks after the release, they started appearing on the servers, so I added them one by one in Myrlyn.
Improved Support for Custom Qt Environment Variables for myrlyn-sudo
Rather than editing the .desktop file manually (after copying to the user's
$HOME/Desktopdirectory), the user can now create and edit a file~/.config/openSUSE/myrlyn-sudo.confto edit environment variables to change fonts, theme and UI scaling for thesudocall viamyrlyn-sudo. This had confused many users.Dependency Resolver Mode now Shown in GUI
When using one of "Package Update" or "Dist-Upgrade" on the "Updates" page, the resolver mode that is now subtly different is now displayed in a status line at the bottom of the window.
This led to surpises when the user wanted to change the status of individual packages after clicking one of those buttons because in those modes, the resolver tries to avoid dependency conflicts at all cost, so some clicks have no effect: If a package cannot be updated without a conflict, any attempt to set the status to "update" immediately reverts it again.
Searching for RPM Recommends
In addition to searching in "RPM Provides" and "RPM Requires", you can now also search in "RPM Recommends". This can help a lot to find out why a package was added automatically.
Default Auto Search Mode Configurable
Rather than search mode "Auto" always defaulting to "Starts With", you can now switch it to "Contains" and back.
Much Improved Zypp History Browser
