https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1216355 Bug ID: 1216355 Summary: Packman Discord package upgrade lockout defeat inoperative. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: rskunath@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- There is a script in the Packman Discord srpm package (0.0.31-1699.98.pm.1) that is supposed to defeat the upgrade check that Discord does when they release a new version. This pops up a box to grab a deb or a tarball to update outside the Suse system. This script that is in the rpm spec file apparently has not worked for a while. I don't know if it can work, but it is in there and inoperative. The idea according to the script is to bypass the update check lockout and give the package maintainer time to update the Discord package without locking users out of Discord until that is done. This is a very good idea. In the last few Discord update cycles the box pops up and at that point you can't start Discord until the new package is released by the package maintainer. I did see a while ago a forum post about bumping the JSON file revision number by one version to get around this manually: (/usr/lib64/discord/resources and edit the build_info.json file) This appears to work but it's a kludge and the script is a better and a more appropriate way to do this if doing it is still possible. I'm just passing along the discovery and hoping defeating the lockout is still possible. I use Discord daily on the Suse Discord and users getting locked out is disconcerting. Thanks in advance. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
