Currently it is artificially disabled - mostly for historical reasons, because the old package manager didn't support deleting patches at all. For ZYPP this had been undecided IIRC. If a user deletes a patch, I assume only the patch meta data will be deleted, but all packages that came with the patch will remain the same. Wouldn't users expect to downgrade to the status before they applied the patch in that case? I know we (currently?) can't do that and that it would be very hard to support that - keeping track of RPM DB history and so on. But I fear if we offer to delete patches users will think to have been mislead if the same package versions are still there after deleting a patch. Somebody better prepare an SDB article or an OpenSUSE wiki page to explain what is going on in that case... -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
