The decision on the part of the openSUSE packagers to not include Reiser4 is understandable; the decision to force us not to be able to use ReiserFS, to force conversion to another FS rather than continue to include it as one of the many options for a kernel module, is outrageous.
I don't know if you are over-interpreting the below, or if you have your information from elsewhere: https://lizards.opensuse.org/2017/08/24/yast-sprint-41/ "The support of new installations with ReiserFS was removed from YaST in SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 and openSUSE Leap 42 but upgrades were still supported." "... the installer will block the upgrade of systems formatted with ReiserFS." The latter I find somewhat odd, but it appears to be YaST-only, not zypper. "If some of the entries in the /etc/fstab file of the system to be upgraded is using ReiserFS, the installer will suggest to convert them to another filesystem type before migrating the system to SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 or openSUSE Leap 15." "A similar blocking error will be reported for ReiserFS root partitions." This is also all YaST-only, and I still find it pretty odd, but it won't prevent anyone continuing to use reiserfs. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.5°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
