Two questions really:
a. where can I get more details in the setting up the control on YAST2 - YOU in particular? Both the man page on yast2 and the document refered in /usr/share/doc/packages/yast2 do not give more details in controller how the online update is handled.
b. On a system that I have previously configured to have automated updates from yast2, I would like to disable one product from being updated. I am not convinced the way I did it have actually taken into effect. Basically from Yast2, on-line update, manually selected patches, next, searrch (as the one in question does not show up in the YOU Patches), found a grey-out product, select it, then from You Patch tab- All in this list - Protected - Do not modify. (Here I noticed the icon has not been changed.)
Ummmm.... I am not sure this is even pertinent because I really don't understand the problem being discussed. But awhile back there was a problem with YOU in updating protected files by installing them anyway. The solution was that you had to go back before an update, unprotect them, and then re-protect them so that YOU would honor it. Was a big PITA. Not sure if that was ever resolved as I don't use YOU to update anymore. Switched over and used apt ever since. Never a problem.
Anyway, just ignore me. Thought I would throw in my .02 cents worth. Bob S.
