SUSE Linux / OpenSUSE defines two modes of update
1. intra-distribution (aka 'maintenance update')
2. inter-distribution (aka 'distribution upgrade')
The rules defined by autobuild, maintenance and release manager are
for 1.
- don't change the architecture of a package
- don't split packages
- don't rename packages
for 2.
- switch to the highest available architecture
- accept package switches
- accept package renames
Bottom line: Package splits and architecture changes are not supported during
normal update. One has to run the 'distribution upgrade' procedure for this.
YaST provided the latter in an extra module, however this module was removed
since it caused some confusion.
For future products, the difference between 'update' and 'dist-upgrade' will be
made explicit and both modes will be supported by the software management
tools.
