Hi,
As the repos for 11.4 are now open for syncing from, I've disabled the tumbleweed repo, and am redoing it for 11.4 at this moment.
So I recommend disabling your tumbleweed repo, updating to 11.4, and then waiting until later today when the tumbleweed repo has been synced up to 11.4 packages. I'll do an announcement when that happens as well.
Ok, Tumbleweed is back open and in business for the 11.4 release.
I'll be working on the wiki today to try to update it with more information, and possibly a "one-click-install" file as well to make it easier for users.
If you are running 11.3, and try to update with Tumbleweed in your repo list, it will seem to work for now, but installing at least one package from it (vim-enhanced) will fail, which says you need to move to 11.4.
Which reminds me, does anyone have an idea of a package that I should include that almost everyone always does have installed that links to a new library version in 11.4 that would fail if you tried to install it on 11.3 so we can provide a way to "warn" people who try to do this incorrectly on 11.3?
thanks,

What if you made your own version of openSUSE-release, say openSUSE-release-tumbleweed, and gave it a "requires: aaa_base >= 11.4"
Well, if I named the release package *-tumbleweed, then it would not ever get installed, I would have to override the openSUSE-release package.
Which is something I've been considering doing, anyone have an objection to that?
thanks,
greg k-h
Is there any reason you are aware of that the approach you are suggesting could be undesirable or could lead to problems?
At first try, it seems pretty hard, if not impossible to link to the _product:openSUSE:release package in the openSUSE:11.4 repo, anyone know how to resolve that/
In other words, do you know of any reason why someone might have an objection?
Messing with /etc/SuSE-release is generally only allowed for the "real" distro to do, not something for anyone else to mess with. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
