[opensuse-support] Tumbleweed update through software updates applet
Hi all, until recently we were supposed to update Tumbleweed only by using "zypper dup" from the CLI. Now the Software Updates applet has been updated to support Tumbleweed too, so it should do The Right Thing. I've always felt uncomfortable using the applet, but today I decided to give it a spin. After the update, the applet presented me immediately with another batch of updates, which I found unusual. So I checked by using the usual "zypper dup", which found no updates. After a bit of investigation, I found the reason: I have configured zypper not to offer updates when the update would imply a change of vendors (allowVendorChange = false which BTW should be the default IIRC). The applet does not follow the same criteria, so it offers the updates nevertheless. I think this is not desirable; shouldn't it be better to let the applet follow the same configuration as zypper? Best regards Cris

Thank you Patrick for the suggestion. This was already reported some time ago in bug 1030829<https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1030829>, but was never confirmed. So I added my report to that bug. Hope this helps Bye Cris ________________________________ Da: Patrick Shanahan <ptilopteri@gmail.com> per conto di Patrick Shanahan <paka@opensuse.org> Inviato: giovedì 19 settembre 2019 14:21 A: opensuse-support@opensuse.org <opensuse-support@opensuse.org> Oggetto: Re: [opensuse-support] Tumbleweed update through software updates applet * Guadagnino Cristiano <guadagnino.cristiano@creval.it> [09-19-19 05:14]:
