[opensuse-factory] Unexpected "downgrades" aren't really downgrades
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I just finished upgrading an openSUSE Leap 42.2 machine to openSUSE Tumbleweed (updated the repo URLs and performed `sudo zypper dup --no- allow-vendor-change`), and I was surprised to see a substantial number of downgrades; 84 in fact. I looked into a few of them, and while it's only anecdotal, I didn't find any _actual_ downgrades... for example: yast2-online-update: on Leap 42.2 [1]: yast2-online-update-3.1.11-6.2.noarch.rpm on Tumbleweed [2]: yast2-online-update-3.1.11-1.3.noarch.rpm Both of these are v3.1.11, and the source tarballs match; but the higher build number (a byproduct of OBS) apparently suggests to zypper that this is a downgrade, not a reinstall. Is this intentional? Can we tune the rules in zypper a bit, to categorize more things as 'reinstall' instead of 'downgrade', or does something need to be changed in the packaging to better handle this?

I get almost the same thing, but it's also repository changes. So many of them, step and repeat type "1". Tedium. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

The _build_ number is the '3' in 1.3/'2' in 6.2, so it's not just a reinstall. Build options may be different, patches may have changed. (5 times in fact). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
