Then there is little benefit in making partial updates work, since Tumbleweed will usually not ship new package versions unless it needs to, so you might understand why not many package maintainers
yes, but i don't want to run a full system update all the time.
if a new version of some package is coming out, i only want to update this, ans all it's dependencies.
Here I can't quite follow: what other updates would there be? Note that Factory is build with rebuild="local" [1], so packages aren't rebuild all the time. You get package updates for roughly three reasons:
But maybe this isn't about Factory itself but rather third-party repositories? (In which case others on the thread mentioned a flag that might help.)
yes, often the packages i want to update are coming from extra repositories. i have, for example, extra repos configured for Xorg, libreoffice, KDE, kernel, extra kernel-modules (wlan, vbox) most of the time updating packages from those repos don't produce problems. but there are also sometimes packages listed in those tumbleweed snapshot emails, which are only existing in the main tumbleweed repos, or for which i don't have an extra repo. for example system packages like systemd, yast, glibc and if, for example, there are new packages available for yast or systemd, i select in yast software manager all related packages to be updated. and i don't want to update the whole tumbleweed system, only because for example yast2-fonts is released in a new version. that's the main reason for using that approach. so i select everything, which is needed to be able to update, and i trust/rely that yast resolves all dependencies and auto-selects all those packages which are additional needed. most of the time this approach works. but sometimes (like this time, when ruby was updated/upgraded the dependency auto-select didn't also mark libstorage-ng-ruby and ruby-solv), that fails. -- Best Regards | Freundliche Grüße | Cordialement | Cordiali Saluti | Atenciosamente | Saludos Cordiales *DI Rainer Klier* DevOps, Research & Development
