I have updated a real HW (32bit) from 12.3 to 13.1 RC1 with zypper dup. The upgrade was smooth.
Some observations though: findutils-locate was replaced by mlocate. users who want to use locate have to be added to the group "locate". Probably this should be mentioned in the release notes.
There are only two sane ways to operate mlocate: a) run setgid and index as root or b) run unprivileged and index as nobody as findutils-locate does it. The latter obviously is the more defensive way. Tomas, we've discussed this unprivileged cron job in the past. Why is it still not implemented? In the current state mlocate is not a candidate for a default installed package IMO so it shouldn't be in any pattern and also not obsolete findutils-locate to avoid breaking updates. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
