[softwaremgmt] dist update with KMPs
by Susanne Oberhauser 06 Oct '08

Hi, if I have KMPs installed from some driver kit (add-on with registered online update source), and the drivers won't make it to the next product / SP release, then I'll need to upgrade the KMP's add ons alongside the base product. Also, the KMPs (and the base products) need to be updated alongside the kernel, before a reboot, because after reboot without KMP update, the new kernel may fail to access the repos (network) or the disk (storage) or the display device (graphics). Will this be fixed / work with 11.1? Where can I find info on how the integrated upgrade of base distro with add-ons is planned?

The only way to drag in new packages is if the updated package has new dependencies AFAIK. Patch itself does not have dependencies anymore.

To anyone who uses 'zypper update' or 'zypper list-updates' without explicitly specifying the --type option: the default has been changed from 'patch' to 'package' since zypper 0.12.7 For more info see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=395480 cheers, jano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+help(a)opensuse.org
