http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=520148 Summary: offer an individual/safe upgrade option Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: estellnb@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.10 (like Gecko) SUSE External repos like packman or libdvdcss distribute full packages of newer version rather than patches. At the moment the only way to get the newer version is a 'zypper dup' which is a rather brutal sledgehammer doing all possible upgrades (with dup --from: at least all possible upgrades from a singleton repository) even changing the current repo a package is drawn from. This request is about allowing upgrades of singleton packages or in a more advanced fashion about a safe-upgrade option that will only upgrade a package if it has previously been drawn from the same repo the upgrade is now available from.

...

Can I be sure that 'zypper up' will not switch the repo (i.e. that the package will not be drawn from the packman-opensuse11.0 repo if the opensuse11.1 repo has higher priority.)?

Yes. The vendor change won't happen automatically without your consent (unless the vendor is trusted - written in /etc/zypp/vendors.d) even if the other vendor's repo had the same or higher priority. The vendor change is also why 'zypper up/lu' did not tell you about the newer package in c#2 ('zypper lu --all' would show an available update). YaST shows such package as available (shows the version from repo with highest priority), but when you try to install it, you'll get a resolver dialog with 'allow a vendor change' option as one of the solutions. So i guess we can close this, right? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Although I am still in doubt that updating works as it should. The checkroot-tool has recently found 40 updates for my system but strictly sticks to the same repo a package has been installed from: "if usedpkg.verrel != verrel and (usedpkg.repono==reponr or usedpkg.repono==None) and samearch:" - while only two pkgs have repono None (fpc, novell-zenworks-mono) . Please have a look whether you can reproduce this. Unfortunately I have now opened up a new bug (Bug 527903) for this since I have not found the old one. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
