--- Comment #7 from Fabian Vogt
It's mainly about when to set and reset upgradeMode.
Running "pkcon update" leads to calling get-updates and update-packages. A list of update candidates will be passed from get-updates to update-packages.
* If upgradeMode is set in get-updates and reset to FALSE when it's done, update-packages won't be able to perform a dup-like action in Tumbleweed. * If upgradeMode is set in get-updates and not reset when finished, removing/ installing packages will lead to a full dup-style system upgrade in Tumbleweed. * We can try to set upgradeMode in update-packages, but update-packages is responsible for updating specific packages and upgrading the whole system.
I see two options: a) A hack: Let get-updates a fake "this-is-a-dup" package as marker which is passed to update-packages later. b) Just not support update-packages on its own on TW. Picking out just a few packages from a new snapshot is not guaranteed to work anyway. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
