http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=954117 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=954117#c4 --- Comment #4 from Cristian ANITA --- More details about behavior on openSUSE 13.2: - I did not tested if setting solver.allowVendorChange = true in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf is reflected in yast UI (and I do not have openSUSE 13.2 now to test). - "Allow Vendor Change" in both "Online Update" and "Software Management" modules, is persistent but independent (each module has its own setting) My opinion/suggestion from user/usability point of view: regardless of UI (ncurses, gtk, qt) and module ("Online Update" or "Software Management") there should be only one setting (solver.allowVendorChange = true/false in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf). This setting should be read/write (persistent) from all above components. Making the setting not persistent will force users to edit zypp.conf in terminal (and if we want to "convert" Windows users we should be able to do more things that can be done in terminal also from GUI). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=954117 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=954117#c6 --- Comment #6 from Gabriele Mohr --- In general: it shouldn't be necessary to set the "Allow vendor change" option to true for an (tumbleweed) update. For explanation why we changed the behaviour not to save the options "Allow Vendor Change" and "Cleanup when deleting packages", see bnc #948134, comment #9. I have checked the behaviour on Tumbleweed 20151014. Setting solver.allowVendorChange in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf is respected in YaST ncurses package selector (see screenshot) but AFAICS doesn't work in Qt UI. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

For an upgrade, either YaST Upgrade or 'zypper dup', its by default allowed to change the vendor, the architecture, downgrade package versions.... New options are added to /etc/zypp/zypp.conf which only concern the upgrade (dupAllow...). To have the possibility to protect e.g. packages from an external repository during an upgrade you can change the behaviour with these options, see https://discourse.nordisch.org/t/living-on-tumbleweed/379. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
