[opensuse-factory] 42.3 -> 15.0 : Upgrade or downgrade?

I assume this is just a text due to the version going down, but wanted to check: I changed all my repos to point to 15.0 instead of 42.3 Then I do: zypper dup --dry-run Putting the list of packages to a pager, there is this: The following product is going to be downgraded: "openSUSE Leap 42.3" I assume that is just an innocent to be ignored?

I would consider it a bug. -- Cheers/Saludos Carlos E. R. (testing openSUSE Leap 15.0, at Minas-Anor) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

A bug in openSUSE, but not Zypper. This is actually correct. Version comparison is fairly simple. 42.3 > 15.0. -- 真実はいつも一つ!/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Not really. IIUC it has been defined in the project openSUSE Leap that the version "openSUSE Leap 15.0" is higher than "openSUSE Leap 42.3". That's not easy for tools to make right but still wrong to state from the tools perspective that "openSUSE Leap 42.3" is *downgraded* to "openSUSE Leap 15.0". I guess you actually should record it as a bug -> https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=openSUSE %20Distribution&version=Leap%2015.0 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

No. It is a bug in Zypper caused by a decision made by openSUSE (but there was not a vote on this change, so don't blame all of openSUSE. Many of us expressed dissent) You have to find a way to code around that, sorry. And truly: I'm sorry for this situation. We warned about it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

You have to find a way to code around that, sorry. And truly: I'm sorry for this situation. We warned about it. If you would have followed the discussion, you would not have made this remark. What you warned for has been extensively explained as something that's been dealt with, in a way that's most productive for all involved. AFAICS someone forgot to adapt this to the product comparison. Zypper should report an upgrade of the product, so bug-report it is.
