Re: [PATCH setup 00/14] Use libsolv, solve all our problems... (WIP)

I've just started testing (based on the current HEAD of topic/libsolv), and so far everything looks good.  My only suggestion is a cosmetic one.  Now that you've made "Test" a checkbox, independent of the radio buttons "Keep/Current/Sync", users might be confused by the fact that "Current" remains selected when "Test" is checked.

Initially, I didn't want to make any UI change here, but it made it a lot easier to think about how map the command line options to solver flags.

But yeah, I wasn't sure if I should change this or not. I kept it the same just to keep the default the same, but that doesn't seem a very good reason.

"Test" should probably be something a little less terse, as well.

"Current" button has a different meaning now than it used to have. Maybe the "Current" label should be changed to "Best", in keeping with its new meaning (and tooltip).

People seem to sometimes think "Current" means (something like) "Sync", when it fact it is (something like) "Best", so perhaps that's another reason why a change of name is a good idea.
