Two questions really:
a. where can I get more details in the setting up the control on YAST2
- YOU in particular? Both the man page on yast2 and the document refered in /usr/share/doc/packages/yast2 do not give more details in controller how the online update is handled.
b. On a system that I have previously configured to have automated updates from yast2, I would like to disable one product from being updated. I am not convinced the way I did it have actually taken into effect. Basically from Yast2, on-line update, manually selected patches, next, searrch (as the one in question does not show up in the YOU Patches), found a grey-out product, select it, then from You Patch tab- All in this list - Protected - Do not modify. (Here I noticed the icon has not been changed.)
I think you should have it. If you want to be sure, go into YaST2 under System > Software Management and find the application you want to not be updated. When it shows up on the list in the right pane, right-click it and select Proected -- Do Not Modify. You can certainly test this with something innocuous if you want to be sure. For example get an old RPM of some unimportant game and then protect it then do a YOU to see that it doesn't update. -- kai - www.perfectreign.com www.livebeans.com - the new NetBeans community 43...for those who require slightly more than the answer to life, the universe and everything. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
