The FATE for SLE 12 claims that it can "easily" re-use the existing configuration and logfiles, none of which happened here ... And I was very unhappy about a feature just being uninstalled silently on a zypper dup. I'd rather have kept the "not developed" version around until I made a conscious choice, or received some pop-up that I should update. But that's just me.

Maybe we could add provides/obsoletes? But it should've been pulled in by the patterns.

I had installed xchat not via the desktop patterns (which are way too large). So yes, the way to upgrade/replace packages definitely is via RPM requires.

Wrt configs what to do they should be almost 1:1 so we could handle it in %post? Something like following this page: http://hexchat.readthedocs.org/en/latest/faq.html

That'd have been neat.

You can't reliably touch configuration files in ~; there us no guarantee this is even on the same machine as the rpm is being installed.

Readme.MIGRATE to add? But we all know how many people read those? Tom

Exactly. The operations listed in the FAQ look like something hexchat could be trivially implement when started for the first time though. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

- Replace xchat by hexchat everywhere

Uh. So with this zypper dup round, xchat suddenly was silently dropped; hexchat was not automatically pulled in as a replacement/upgrade; hexchat ignores the existing xchat configuration files.

Xchat is unfortunately not developed anymore so we replaced it the same way like on sle12.

We'll have patches to handle that as part of SP2 (and next Leap). I guess the switch was a bit too soon. And no, the migration can't be done at package level, it needs to be done when hexchat is started for the first time (because it needs access to user data). -- Frederic Crozat Enterprise Desktop Release Manager SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
