Description Ahmad Samir 2011-05-06 04:35:35 CEST

The "Installation" in the Components list is a bit misleading, and sometimes users select it when they hit a urpmi bug when updating, upgrading, installing packages.

This situation should be improved:
- Changing the component name to "Installer", as it mainly has to do with the traditional drakx installer
- Changing the description of that component to "Bug reports about the Mageia drakx traditional installation (the installer used on the DVD and the Dual ISO's"

I probably can do both changes in the bugzilla templates in SVN, but opening this report for discussion/ideas/suggestions.

It looks like a good idea. Maybe "RPM Packages" can also be the first in the list, if it is the most used.

For those changes I think it's not in the templates on svn but in the admin part of bugzilla (with an admin account).

I said "probably can do" at least.. :/

Someone with the right privileges can make the changes, if no one objects.

Comment 4 Nicolas Vigier 2011-05-06 15:06:37 CEST

It looks like no one objects so I made the change to the component name and description.
However it doesn't seem possible to change the order (from the web interface at least).

The replacement description also uses the word "installation" - would not "installer" be better there as well?

It's been fixed too (dunno who fixed, either boklm or dmorgan or someone else).
