Hello!
I have the following problem: A package which has been versioned without number but with a date as version number ( mediawiki-math- 1401961173 ) starting some month ago, the package has now a "real" version number (1.26). I'd like to use the new number, but I do not see how I could force a update then...
There is only one method, which we do not employ in openSUSE: rpm epoch.
Why don't we emply the only method there is?
Just wondering, because it would make life much easier if we would not need to depend on a particular implementation of a packagemanager frontend.
it just increases the problem to the next level. Once epoch is more known, people will misuse it for example as repository priority workaround and set always Epoch:1000 to have their package first. Just an evil example ;) -- Adrian Schroeter email: adrian@suse.de SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
