Updating to new versions on a regular basis only makes sense for rolling distributions, which openSUSE 13.1 is not. For non-rolling distributions, we (and all other distribution maintainers) backport bug fixes as needed, we do not update versions. xscreensaver is only one in thousands of packages in the openSUSE distributions, and thankfully nobody else was stupid enough to do what Jamie Zawicki did, otherwise the distribution would become unusable. Jamie has clearly no idea how distributions are maintained. The only sane thing to do here is to drop the warning, as the Slackware folks did it I understand correctly. If Jamie doesn't want to answer support questions related to old versions of xscreensaver, that's fair. But the right want to handle that is to document it properly, and not to force version updates on distribution maintainers. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
