https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462696 Summary: Missing a possibility to list the from and to version of a package Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: richard.bos@xs4all.nl QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Community User Please add the possibility to show the from and to version to zypper's query's command. AFAIK the current query commands don't provide this possibility, e.g.: # zypper -v up -t package ........... The following packages are going to be upgraded: Xerces-c-2.8.0-29.28.i586 (openSUSE-11.1-Oss, openSUSE) acroread-8.1.3-51.6.i586 (openSUSE-11.1-Non-Oss, openSUSE) akonadi-runtime-1.0.81-1.2.i586 (KDE 4.2 development snapshots, openSUSE Build Service) ......... The repository is there and the to version as well. But the from package version is missing :( Output similar to this would be nice: # zypper -v up -t package ........... The following packages are going to be upgraded: Xerces-c: 2.7.0-75 -> 2.8.0-29.28.i586 (openSUSE-11.1-Oss, openSUSE) acroread: 8.1.3-1.1 -> 8.1.3-51.6.i586 (openSUSE-11.1-Non-Oss, openSUSE) akonadi-runtime: 1.0.0-31.27 -> 1.0.81-1.2.i586 (KDE 4.2 development snapshots, openSUSE Build Service) ......... Based on this it is easier to determine whether the package should be really updated or not. Sometimes a package is undergoing a major update, like: kde4-xxx: 4.1.3 -> 4.1.85 In this case the package should not be updated. But the above information this (not updated) can be determined, with the current zypper output command this is not so easy: kde4-xxx-4.1.85.i586..... (now should it be updated or not????) This command does neither show the to package version: # zypper list-updates -r repo-oss Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... S | Name | Version | Arch --+------------------------+----------------+----- v | Xerces-c | 2.8.0-29.28 | i586 v | albumshaper | 2.1-220.21 | i586 v | commoncpp2 | 1.6.1-32.35 | i586 v | compat-openssl097g | 0.9.7g-146.1 | i586 v | curlftpfs | 0.9.2-1.61 | i586 It seems easy (hopefully it is) to extend the table and add the from version to it as well. Looking forward to see forward to see this enhancement implement in zypper! -- 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.
