[opensuse] Software updates
Hi all, I am looking to update OOo.org and perhaps Thunderbird, although I have just got the Reply-to-list working on Thunderbird 1.5. I have the version of OOo 2.0.4.7 and Thunderbird 1.5 that shipped with the 10.2 DVD. Would adding the following source to my update sources(Configured software catalogues) enable me to have the opensuse updater retrieve the necessary information and inform me that there is an update selected to be installed next time I agree to install software updates. Link to add as HTTP source: http://repos.opensuse.org/OpenOffice.org:/STABLE/10.2/ Would the Opensuse updater be able to go from OOo.org version 2.0.4 build 2.0.4.7 to the most recent stable version for OpenSUSE? If I decide to update Thunderbird, could I use a link similar to the one above? If I should do a Thunderbird update and certain features ie Reply-to-list stop working, can I just select an earlier version in Yast:Software after I have searched for Thunderbird? This is probably all in a manual somewhere but I do not have a link to it. I have had a look at opensuse102_kdeuser.pdf and opensuse102_reference.pdf and still my knowledge is deficient. TIA for links and help Regards Hylton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No. opensuseupdater will only inform you of security updates.

No, BUT Yast will quite nicely.
If I decide to update Thunderbird, could I use a link similar to the one above?
Yes, but use Yast to update.
If I should do a Thunderbird update and certain features ie Reply-to-list stop working, can I just select an earlier version in Yast:Software after I have searched for Thunderbird?
It will not break, but yes, you could always install a different version of a package in yast. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, you can update openoffice using a repo like you listed, however you cannot choose exactly what version you want. The current version is 2.2.1 and not 2.0.4.7, but as the repo says, it is stable. For Thunderbird you can use the "Mozilla" repo. http://repos.opensuse.org/mozilla/openSUSE_10.2/ That has package MozillaThunderbird which I believe is at 2.0.0.6 or so .. For your updates do you use ZMD or did you remove the default update client and are using opensuse Updater? Ben On Sunday 19 August 2007 01:44:25 am Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) wrote:

Thats good. FYI, I currently have version 2.0.4.7 installed and want to update to later release.
For Thunderbird you can use the "Mozilla" repo.

Tnx. I have just seen that Mozilla have released a major update from 1.5 to 2.?.? to beta so it shouldn't be long now. :)
For your updates do you use ZMD or did you remove the default update client and are using opensuse Updater?
I use opensuseupdater which invokes Yast to do the updates. If opensuse updater doesn't tell me there is an update available I don't touch, even though I can mess with the source. Tnx again. I'm off to add a package update source :) Wish we luck. Regards Hylton <snip> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
