hi,
iiuc, trunk != Factory.
where is the specific _trunk_ for perl-bootloader?
looking around, i found the yast bootloader @
http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/trunk/bootloader
but suspect you mean something else ...
Hi, yes, this is trunk of perl-bootloader code. It is not in factory as some changes is not ready to release, as it also needs change in yast2-bootloader, so it will be released when it is ready. As workaround you need avoid multiline entries (no '\' at end of line) -- 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.
