Hi,

I'm currently a little bit disappointed of

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=192743

and its duplicate

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=193996

which is caused by a broken YOU for SUSE Linux 10.0.

This is totally unrelated to YaST Online Update. It might be related to a specific kdebase3-SUSE update.

The background and a fix are available at

http://people.opera.com/eddy/YaST/ReadMe.html

and the bug is a frustrating one since I know some people who stuck with 10.0 because installing RPMs with YaST from Konqueror is not possible in 10.1, and now after this YOU it's broken for 10.0 as well.

More generally, I'd like to know if it would be possible to do public tests for *all* YOUs (maybe except not-yet-disclosed security fixes). We had it in the past for a subset of selected packages like the libzypp and kernel YOUs, and it worked quite well so far.

I have considered and asked for this, but so far this was not possible due to SUSE internal constraints.

I remember some problematic YOUs in the past and now I just wonder if a different testing approach might eventually help improving the situation. The Fedora project seems to have a similar approach that could be used to borrow ideas from.

I have the idea for a year now. Ciao, Marcus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory-help@opensuse.org
