Feature changed by: Michael Schröder (mlschroe) Feature #313088, revision 3 Title: allow patches that uninstall packages openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: suppose security flaws are discovered in some leaf package that we cannot fix for some reason. We need a way to tell users of that package that they better uninstall the affected package. Previously we would have "solved" this by releasing a new version of the package without files. This is a rather ugly hack though. What we need is a special patch that when selected uninstalls the listed packages without causing e.g. packagekit to choke. + Discussion: + #1: Michael Schröder (mlschroe) (2011-12-19 15:52:44) + As often, the libzypp/solver part is easy. Please propose how you want + to encode such an uninstall request into updateinfo.xml. Also please + ask the Fedora guys about their opinion, as we share the + specification. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313088
