Control: tags -1 + pending
Hi Vincent, 2007-07-23 10:20 Vincent Lefevre:
Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.5.4-1 Severity: wishlist Concerning the package groups in the Preview page: --\ Packages being automatically held in their current state --\ Packages being deleted due to unsatisfied dependencies --\ Packages being held back --\ Packages to be installed --\ Packages to be upgraded the order of these groups seems to be undeterministic (in the previous invocation of aptitude, "Packages being held back" and "Packages to be installed" were swapped). The order should be deterministic and --\ Packages being automatically held in their current state --\ Packages being held back should be displayed together, and --\ Packages being deleted due to unsatisfied dependencies --\ Packages to be installed --\ Packages to be upgraded (i.e. all the package groups for which there are changes) should also be displayed together. Having --\ Packages being held back between --\ Packages being deleted due to unsatisfied dependencies and --\ Packages to be installed (which I currently get) is bad.
Thanks for the suggestion, I think that you are right and this strange ordering bothered me for quite a long time. So I had this fix in my todo list for a long time as well, but circumstances did not allow me to work on it until now. I commited a fix so this will be present in the next release, so marking it as +pending. Cheers. -- Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <manuel.montez...@gmail.com>
