Hi,
As we're getting close to the feature freeze, maybe we should finally think about the statements below, what do you think about it?
*---------------------------------------- Maybe I'm on the wrong place for this, but it might be interesting even here:
Let's assume the following (I think a not so uncommon scenario): - A user installs a openSuSE Version 10.1 - He changes the installation repositories to something like ftp://mirror.suse.de/pub/SL-Stable/inst-source and adds also ftp://mirror.suse.de/pub/SL-Stable/non-oss-inst-source
Now come's one of the trickier parts: The upudate repo is pointing to: ftp://mirror.suse.de/update/10.1
What will happen when openSUSE 10.2 get's the 'stable' Distribution an dwill thus be linked in place of 10.1?
ZMD will most probably install many packages from 10.2 (maybe even wished by the user) but the link to the update repo will still point to 10.1.
You should _never_ use those symbolic links for your installation sources but always use the version number in an explicit way. Robert -- Robert Schiele Dipl.-Wirtsch.informatiker mailto:rschiele@gmail.com "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur."
