Hm, that would mean when there is a stable Gnome 2.18 all people needs to change their repository URLs ?
Yes. Exactly this was my intention.
After GNOME 2.x 2.x+2 update, desktop often needs small reconfiguration and some things may even disappear.
Imagine that you are using 2.x and you will get 2.x+2 overnight. Your desktop is now different, needs some work to adjust it, and may be even less stable. And what is worse, there is no way to undo this change.
That would be always a bug IMHO. How does a user do an update from openSUSE x.y to x.y+1 (or SLE) otherwise ?
openSUSE x.y to x.y+1 is updated by admin by reboot from install CD/DVD. Unintentional upgrade can never happen there.
okay, I misunderstood the point than. However, you can also recommend always to do gnome updates only when you are not logged in.
And user still has to do some things manually: - Remove icon for evolution-2.4 from panel - Add icon for evolution-2.6 to panel - Renew icons on desktop with dumb icon.
these points would have been critical rated bugs for KDE in the past. I assume the same rules do apply also for Gnome.
- Remove old main menu and replace it by the new main menu (if intended)
IMHO an optional step, as long the old menu is still supported and working. These reasons are IMHO no reasons to double the resources needed for building and on the mirrors. We also never did provide seperated versions in the past for KDE/Gnome minor updates in the past on our servers. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
