https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=261246 Summary: update-alternatives should support --set Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 2plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: burnus@gmx.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Currently, the update-alternatives is either auto or be determined manually. For automatic installations, --set should be supported. A patch against Debian's update-alternatives can be found at: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=133745 Actually, openSUSE's is version 1.8.3. Is there any reason not to update to Debian's 1.9 or 1.13 version? http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=dpkg&searchon... If I do an diff between SUSE's 1.8.3 to Debian's 1.10, I find the following extra options: + update-alternatives --remove-all <name> + update-alternatives --list <name> + update-alternatives --set <name> <path> + update-alternatives --all --remove-all name Remove all alternatives and all of their associated slave links. name is a name in the alternatives directory. --set name path Set the program path as alternative for name. This is equivalent to --config but is non-interactive and thus scriptable. --all Call --config on all alternatives. --list link Display all targets of the link group. If useful, I could also create a patch for the current openSUSE update-alternatives. -- 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.
