http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506701 Summary: offer a distro downgrade option for zypper/YaST2 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: estellnb@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.10 (like Gecko) SUSE By now zypper only offers two options for installing new software: in & dup. My request would be to supplement dup with a ddn-option (distribution downgrade). It just happens quite often that one has to remove all the packages just installed via dup from the buildservice because they do not work properly. As zypper does not offer an undo function providing ddn would probably be the only way to achieve this. It could do something like the follwing commands: zypper in -f $( grep '|X11-Xorg|' /var/log/zypp/history | grep 'install' | cut -f 3 -d '|') 2>&1 | tee /dev/stderr | grep "not found in repositories"| cut -f 2 -d " " >todel zypper rm $(cat todel) i.e. downgrade all packages of X11-Xorg that are available fromout of another source; remove all other packages (although this time I had to use Yast manually to do this because zypper has complained about a lot of packages not being available which could in deed be downgraded via Yast after disabling the X11-Xorg repo.)
