I usually walk forward. This feature in zen-updater is in fact a bug, as it didn't understand suse's
(In reply to comment #35) patches as being different from upgrades. openSUSE updater does show all updates from all repos, where updates are patch priority packages, the repository they are on is irrelevant. It does not show version upgrades, which is an entirely different thing and encouraging users to upgrade to unsupported packages from supported packages is a bad idea. Supporting this misfeature via an option with a warning would be acceptable, but there are far more important things to be working on.
This is not true, it distinguishes between the different updates, the criticval one even appear in read. When you are presented with the list of updates, all the information is there conerciung if each update is critical or security related, or if it is simply an upgrade. Supporting this is not encouraging users to upragde software. No doing this does not prevent them from upgrading, it just makes them search more and ask more on how to do it. Besides, it happens a lot that a program is included in openSUSE even without reaching a stable version. Then the stable versions is released and you cannot take advantage of it!!! There are times when it is wise to upgrade, and there are times when it is not wise to upgrade, you should not generalize, and most of all, Linux should be about giving full power/control to the users on their machines. -- 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.
