The point is that suse patches indeed conflict with packages shipped by another vendor.
I just talked with Markus and Ludwig about this. Security team does not see issues if we'd follow this way and restrict patches to process only 'vendor compatible' packages. - so we could add a 'vendor="..."' attribute to the updateinfos package entry - enhance the updateinfo parser to create an appropriate conflict if a vendor is given - enhance libsolv/libzypp to be able to handle this new vendor related rule -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Development, ma@suse.de GF:Jeff Hawn,Jennifer Guild,Felix Imendörffer, HRB16746(AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany, ++49 (0)911 - 740 53-0 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ ' -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: zypp-devel+owner@opensuse.org
