UI Side

"Patches" filter view

== (Re-) implement combo box that lets user choose between

==

Patches that are not installed and would make sense to install (i.e., patches that affect packages that are or will be installed)
Patches that make sense to install, no matter if the patches are installed yet or not
All patches, even those that don't make sense to install (because the packages that are patched are not installed anyway)

Requires zypp::Selectable::isUnneeded() to be implemented - currently zypp::ResStatus is not visible to the UI

Reference

Icons in PatternSelector:
Pattern::icon() is used by default
if Pattern::icon() is empty, Pattern::name() is used. Blanks are replaced with underscores ("_"): "My Pattern" -> "My_Pattern.png"
".png" will be appended, unless icon name ends with ".png" or ".jpg"
if icon name starts with "/", an absolute path is assumed
if icon name has no slash ("/") at all, the icon is looked up in /usr/share/YaST2/theme/current/icons/32x32/apps/ and in /usr/share/YaST2/theme/current/icons/48x48/apps/
relative path names are assumed to be relative to /usr/share/YaST2/theme/current/
absolute path names are supported as well (of course)

LibZYPP side

Export ResStatus::unneeded flag to UI

Proposal: Implement zypp::Selectable::isUnneeded() - currently zypp::ResStatus is not visible at all to the UI

Patches
zypp::Patch::category() is a string, not an enum

This is not a transparent string that can or should simply be displayed to the user as it is. Rather, it has considerable functionality: It indicates if a patch is a security patch, a recommended or an optional patch. Those categories need to be interpreted at various levels, at least in the UI and during automatic patch selection (web-updater and / or SuSEupdater).

This should rather be an enum. We need to handle all values that can occur. If it stays a string (which is likely at this phase of the project), we need to make sure it remains parseable, i.e. untranslated. The UI needs to map it to a translated string.

source location

URL / path to the source tarball so a user can find out what source RPM an binary RPM is built from - useful for packages that have subpackages

Dropped or Postponed
