http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=990374 Bug ID: 990374 Summary: linuxrc: comparision of buildid vs initrd id makes TW installers only valid for 24 hours Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: dimstar@opensuse.org QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- There was apparently a nice bug well hidden in linuxrc, that was recently fixed: https://github.com/openSUSE/linuxrc/commit/b51ff997fee906777d4cde23ddbc0d3af... It has the very negative side effect on Tumbleweed though that any downloaded NET installer is now only valid until the FTP tree is updated to a new snapshot: something that makes Tumleweed Net installers very impracticable, as the same disk can't be used for very long. This was first observed and caught by openQA: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/227377#step/welcome/7: this test uses the LATEST TW snapshot NET installer (to be tested, not yet published) and installs the 'previous' (currently published TW snapshot). This entire check feels like we need something more suitable for Tumbleweed, ensuring to not make the NET installer incompatible every day with what is published -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
