https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=209407 Summary: release numbers of packages do not increase even on relevant changes Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 4 plus Platform: All OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: aj@novell.com ReportedBy: rschiele@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Currently release numbers of packages do not increase even on relevant changes. For instance the current upgrade of the db package to 4.4 release did not increase the number on packages that link to libdb. This results in non-upgradabbility of the system. YaST even destroys the whole system by deciding to uninstall vital parts of the base system (e.g. perl) in that situation. Thus please upgrade the release number on each change that does result in ABI changes. If you have not implemented detecting these changes then do it on _every_ rebuild. The fact that most system destructive bugs when using factory are due to such inconsistencies instead of real package bugs does not cast a positive light on your quality assurance efforts. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
