As of openSUSE 11.1 this became relatively easy using zypper (the Yum counterpart in openSUSE) for upgrading. Just set the name of any package you want to retain for multiple versions in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf. Once so configured zypper will not automatically remove the older versions. You'll have to cull obsoletes as desired yourself with YaST, zypper rm, or rpm -e.
Please explain this further. I find no references to retaining packages in /etc/zypp/zypper.conf or the man pages or on opensSUSE wiki. tks, -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
