Anyway, I understood it is been replaced or merged with kernel-default.

Both Leap 42 & Factory-Tumbleweed provide it, so it can be just forgotten not abandoned: https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries/openSUSE:Leap:42.1/kernel-deskto...

https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries/openSUSE:Factory/kernel-desktop?...

Neither repo has the merged kernel yet. After this happens, kernel-desktop will dismiss.

thanks,

Yep. The kernel-desktop is now history. We'll still need the kernel-desktop for Evergreen. Cheers! Roman IRC: 551368250 ============== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Or we create a "switch-to-kernel-default" package, and name that kernel-desktop. Spec-Content would be:

Require: kernel-default >= merged-version Obsoletes: kernel-desktop >= merged-version

Or, would that be wrong? Easier to maintain in the long run for sure.

IMHO, for Evergreen and TW that should be the way to go, LEAP 42.1 / SLE 12 SP1 should be gold-master with merged kernel, else much of the wanted simplification is lost for this release.

- Yamaban. Yes. Simple an effective.

How is it different from providing and obsoleting kernel-desktop from withing kernel-default, like it is done in Tumbleweed?

Good question! Short answer: Reality bites, is no-go on "zypper up" Long answer: Well, that works with "zypper dup" but hat been proven to be NOT working with "zypper up". For "zypper up" you NEED a package with the same 'name' as the one you want to replace, even if it ist just a dummy package, as proposed above. This is especially important for update-only pathes like Evergreen. For the update path, "satsolver" will not consider a package with no prior installed version. and the 'name' kernel-default IS different from kernel-desktop, ergo by itself, kernel-default will NEVER EVER be considered a valid update for kernel-desktop. My proposal is based on the existing reality, not on the dreams (as nice as they are, at least in some cases) of the programmers and maintainers. The reality of this has bitten me harsh, more than once, and I want to spare others to experience the same. Addenum on the proposal above: "kernel-default" spec should contain: Obsoletes: kernel-desktop >= merged-version - Yamaban. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

You mean that "dup" will select kernel-default and then standard RPM rules for obsoletes kick in?

Sounds like it is something to be fixed in zypper. It actually worked pretty well using other software managers I remember.

Well, it is NOT zypper, but libsatsolver as the real cause. And to solve this from the ground up, this would mean to get a "corrected" version of libsatsolver into OSS 13.1, OSS 13.2, TW, all 'current' SLE and LEAP before changeing kernel. Much more easy is to work around this known limitation. And, really, just WHERE from should libsatsolv get the information that the package kernel-desktop is superseeded by package kernel-default? For the "update" code path only packages with the same name are considered at all for a update. This is BY DESIGN. [Pseudo CODE] foreach package from (package-name-list); do if compare(package,installed-version,(available-version-list)) then signal-for-update(package, newest-version-available) done [/Pseudo CODE] Now show where the handling of DIFFERENT packagenames comes into that. Only for the "Distro-UpGrade", all the packages will be read in with all the Provides, Require, Obsolete, etc and then the matrix will be "solved". And this takes some extra time that is NOT wanted for a simple update. You want cake? You have to bake it beforehand. If other "software manager" do it different, then most likely they trade every upDATE as upGRADE. In Fedora / RHEL / CentOS for example it is the difference between "yum update" and "yum upgrade". Similar with apt in Debian / Ubuntu. We are talking about fast cli programs. Slower GUI programs are a different matter. - Yamaban. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
