[opensuse-factory] SPAM: libzypp + rug not updated on one go
On a newly installed 10.1, the first update it's libzypp. That's fine. After downloading and applying that, there's another libzypp update! That's starting to be confusing. People start asking, didn't the first go well or what? After that, there's a rug update with the zen-updater. Only alfter all those are applied we have a working update system. Can't they be merged into just _one_ megaupdate? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory-help@opensuse.org

I guess "megaupdate" upset the hyper sensitive spam filter on SUSE servers. Oh, ya? Then, eat this, you filter-biatch: viagra, cialis, free, make money fast, nigeria, $$$, penis enlargement How's that? Oh wait, I have a filter too.. sorry, didn't mean it :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory-help@opensuse.org

The update system has bugs that do this, so these 3 calls are intentional. We would have to fix your CD images remotely. You will note that it downloads and installs the RPMs just _once_ and only does 3 runs with different patches (without downloading, or just downloading rug).

One of the 3 calls is actually caused by a rug packaging bug (the self-provides bug) and not the update system. But the updated update system has a workaround, so it works after the 3rd call.
You will note that it downloads and installs the RPMs just _once_ and only does 3 runs with different patches (without downloading, or just downloading rug).
Would it be possible to avoid the 3rd call (where just rug is installed) by using a virtual symbol? The bug is caused by the rug package on the CDs having: Provides: rug which causes it to provide all versions. Something like this could be added: Provides: rug-fixed = %{version}-%{release} The patch could then require rug-fixed instead of rug. Would it work?
