[opensuse-factory] How To Upgrade System with Separate /var Partition
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, It seems that YaST has sometimes problems when upgrading system with separate /var partition to openSUSE 10.3 due to the recent changes in hard disk device names. A new article "How To Upgrade System with Separate /var Partition" describes how to avoid suffering from this illness: http://en.opensuse.org/How_To_Upgrade_System_with_Separate_/var_Partition Please, extend/fix that article in case of any inconsistence, mistake, or just if you feel anything could be added. Thanks & Bye Lukas - -- PS: The /var partition needs to be known before mounting the system partitions just because it contains vitally important information making possible to find out how the disks have been renamed. That seems to be kind of 'Chicken & Egg problem' :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHE8uGVSqMdRCqTiwRAsYQAJ9fSZ1K3kNeqd5foJ7ndHbAmpA5zQCeLzWa Kj0PN9sQYa8+QBIAXNCMGqo= =XgPk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

There was no signature marker in his mail. Signatures are separated by "-- ", not by "--" (note the trailing space).

Even worse. Checking Lukas' mail once again, I see "- --" that Emacs/Gnus displays as "--" and treats as a signature separator. -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

No, because there was "- --" and not "- -- ". Thanks, Bernhard --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

FWIW, Thunderbird (1.5.0.12) also interprets this string "- --" as a sig separator :-( -- Cheers Richard (MQ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Emacs (and especially Gnus) is right because it obey one of the major free software rule. Accept input as generous as possible, but follow the standards as much as possible as far as output is concerned. I forgot the crisp wording of this rule, though ;-( -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Alpine doesn't treat it as a signature separator when answering, but does draw that part in different colour as a signature. So, half broken :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

When I saw this thread (continuing after your mail), I was quite pleased that community seemed to be really interested in that article, however is turned out that the thread is all about 'some dashes' :) ;) Anyway, do what you need, the article has been written to be used, of course :))) Lukas -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o., Lihovarska 1060/12, Praha 9, Czech Republic
