Obviously, nobody can remember to manually run a program to check for .rpmnew every upgrade. Can zypper notify about this at the end automatically? The only reference I found googling "zypper notify about rpmnew" was [0] with a broken link to openFATE. Was it ever implemented?
Implementing this would be a waste of manpower, given that /etc should not be polluted anymore by packages. File a bug to get the affected package fixed to not pollute /etc (and hopefully also /usr/etc!).
1. this will not be possible for all packages 2. we still need a solution to show by the distributor changed configuration files in /usr/etc. With transactional-updates this is quite simple, but no idea about plain zypper yet.
If there was indeed an incompatible change, something has to transform the old config to the new config in some way. I think there are ways to show notifications at the end of an upgrade, this feature is used every now and then.
That "feature" is deprecated since a long time, especially since nearly nobody is able to use it correct ... -- Thorsten Kukuk, Distinguished Engineer, Senior Architect SLES & MicroOS SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany Managing Director: Felix Imendoerffer (HRB 247165, AG München) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
