'implemented in the solver'
We nedd zypper and UI support for this otherwise no one can use it.
Is it on the feature lists?
#301979: Install multiple versions of a package
I actually wanted to know if we have a plan how to do it ;) 1st: Who decides which packages are to be installed with -i? The user!? Persistent via some file in /etc/zypp? Similar to locks? - I.e. a collection of query expressions describing installed packages. (or a flat list of package names). - Matching packages get the 'keep on update' bit set in their status. - This is then promoted to the solver to indicate the package will be installed with -i (not -U). 2nd: Is it required that also available packages in some repo indicate the desire to be installed with -i? If yes, we have to decide what to do if some package in a repo says '-i', but the user did not define 'keep on update' in /etc/...? - zypp.conf option?: Follow 'keep on update' requests: (never/always/ask) - Or per .repo? - Both. -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres YaST Development ma@novell.com SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany, ++49 (0)911 - 740 53-0 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
