--- Comment #18 from Rodney Baker
Rodney, we won't fix this bug for older openSUSEs. Only for 11.1 or even 11.2. As i said in c#11, what you describe works in 11.1.
That is fair enough. I don't really have a problem with that.
I'm keeping this bug to do something about zypper ignoring locked non-packages (patterns, etc).
Also, please remove the NEEDINFO status from the bug when you provide the requested info.
OK, will do. I understood that the person who intially requested the info would do that if the response provided what was required. Now that I know that's not the case, I'll remember for future reports.
Some notes regarding this bug: * 'update of a pattern' needs to be defined first. If we can't define it, we will not allow 'zypper lu/up -t pattern'. If we can, we need to implement it taking the locked patterns into account.
What is a pattern? A specific collection of packages e.g. KDE4, KDE3? Is it possible to lock a pattern, or only specific packages within a pattern? If updating a pattern and specific packages within that pattern are locked, those packages (and any that depend on them) should be left untouched. I've never tried to lock an entire "pattern" so I'm not sure if this is (or should be) possible or not.
* 'zypper lu/up -t product/patch' needs fixing to take locked products/patches into account. Locking a product/patch should make it appear as 'locked' in 'lu' and ignored in 'up' (or 'patch' command). * the 'locked patch' should be displayed as 'taboo' in YaST, and ignored in KDE updater.
* Also, if a patch is set to "Taboo" in YaST, then that status should persist until it is explicitly removed i.e. it should be stored in /etc/zypp.locks, and * If a package is set to "protected - do not modify", then all patches/package updates that relate to that package should be treated as "Taboo" i.e. a protected package should never be modified (i.e. by YaST or KDE updater) unless the protected status is explicitly removed (which I think probably says the same thing as your last 2 points, if I understand them correctly). -- 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.
