I have been having problems with fvwm under Leap 15, in another thread, and was trying to see what the difference between 42.3 and 15 is. Hence my groping the distribution site for source code, and now version information. Please explain why fvwm2 is not upgraded automatically.
Well, that depends on your zypper configuration. What repositories you have and what priorities.
Show "zypper lr --details"
I am confused, certainly not the first time:-) I find the following versions (that I think are inconsistent) of fvwm2 at different locations on the download server. 42.3: download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/windowmanagers/openSUSE_Leap_42.3/src/
fvwm2-2.6.7-54.1.src.rpm
That's an optional repository.
15.0: download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/windowmanagers /openSUSE_Leap_15.0/src/ fvwm2-2.6.7-lp150.54.1.src.rpm
That's an optional repository.
It is normal that they both have the same version for 42.3 and 15.0
42.3: download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/leap/42.3/repo/oss/suse/src/ fvwm2-2.6.6-4.11.src.rpm 15.0: download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/leap/15.0/repo/oss/src/ fvwm2-2.6.7-lp150.1.22.src.rpm
These are the official (source) repos for 42.3 and 15.0, and it is normal that 42.3 has an older version, because the policy for Leap is not to update package versions unless really necessary.
They are not the source repos corresponding to "X11:/windowmanagers".
I do not understand why a version for the 42.3 window manger source should not be the same as 42.3 distribution. And how would one know that they are "optional" repositories. I can see no justification for the 42.3 "X11:/windowmanagers" versions to be later than the 42.3 release. Is there something that explains this?
The only official repository is : <http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.3/repo/oss/> and <http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.3/repo/non-oss/> plus the update repos: <http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.3/oss/> <http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.3/non-oss/> And the sources are these: <http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/leap/42.3/repo/oss/> <http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/leap/42.3/repo/non-oss/> plus updates, but the are not: <http://download.opensuse.org/source/update/leap/42.3/oss/> <http://download.opensuse.org/source/update/leap/42.3/non-oss/> The "X11:/windowmanagers" is an optional and not official repository. You are not new using openSUSE, you should know this already. However, you can see that: <http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/windowmanagers/openSUSE_Leap_42.3/x86_64/> has fvwm2-2.6.7-54.1.x86_64.rpm and its source package is here: <http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/windowmanagers/openSUSE_Leap_42.3/src/> and has fvwm2-2.6.7-54.1.src.rpm which you can see matches the version. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
