Dear all,
I'm experiencing a small problem here (GNOME/PackageKit) and I seek guidance...
If I had a repository which contains modified versions of packages already distributed in openSUSE and set it with higher priority so those packages are installed through 'zypper dup' all seems to go ok. As long as I use zypper update, it doesn't bring me any problems.
The only problem is that PackageKit seems not to understand this multi-repository setups and is always complaining that there are updates, and eventually if I install such updates it just ignores repository priority and installs the stuff I don't want installed. This behaviour as led me to disable PackageKit agent on GNOME.
PackageKit applet was supposed to display only the patches the distribution issues as maintenance, and not just updated packages. It was the community who complained loudly because they wanted to use it as a replacement for a build service repository RSS reader. The problem is that whoever added that code, added his own "solver in 2 lines" ie: comparing arches and versions manually. I am giving it a look so that finding the updated packages uses ZYpp sat-solver system update method to find candidates, and I will probably make showing packages optional, and I hope coolo disables it by default. -- Duncan Mac-Vicar P. - Novell® Making IT Work As One™ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
