* update messages general/conditional (e.g. bind)
During update of packages they could notify users about changes via email and/or the SuSEplugger (until 10.0, this is not anymore in 10.1). Most of these are outdated and not really usefull anymore and should be removed. The question is how to handle situations like bind where config files get rewritten and the user should be informed if this fails.
I believe that sending mail is still the appropriate action. As for the outdated messages, you can set environment variables (eg: SUSE_UPDATE_FROM=900, SUSE_UPDATE_TO=1020) so that %pre and %post scripts can determine whether a message should be sent. -- James Oakley jfunk@funktronics.ca --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
