Packages changed: NetworkManager (1.36.4 -> 1.38.0)
=== Details ===
==== NetworkManager ==== Version update (1.36.4 -> 1.38.0) Subpackages: NetworkManager-lang NetworkManager-pppoe libnm0 typelib-1_0-NM-1_0
- Recommend NetworkNanager-wifi from the main package: after the split, there is currently nothing pulling in NM-wifi. Preferably this would happen based on wifi chips prsence, but that is not yet done (boo#1199550). - Modify NetworkManager.spec: Split into a few small subpackages (bsc#1198128).
BEWARE: NetworkManager has been split into smaller chunks to better server various use cases, making it possible to be installed with smaller foot prints.
Thanks for the headsup, had already opened a bugreport (boo#1199710), recommends doesn't really work on MicroOS desktop unfortunately, so we need to add it to the pattern.
Users that decide to 'disable recommends' need to be extra careful here: the NetworkManager-wifi plugin is only recommended (NM on wired does not need the plugin).
Always keep in mind: disabling recommends means you claim you know better than others. so you have to live with the fact that non- mandatory features (which you would claim mandatory for your machine) are not automatically installed.
