[opensuse] Now does one tell zipper not to update a particular package?
I would like to have zipper not update emacs, or break the emacs version that is retained by updating it's dependencies. The man page is huge, and it is not clear to me how to accomplish the above. Also, is it possible to undo one update and go back to the previous version?

But not its dependencies. And it shouldn't. The deps are not 'emacs only'. I did once lock a package and all it's deps, and ran into serious trouble because other packages ( with some shared deps ) could no longer be updated.

I know, but he wishes to do it ;-) In this case, however, I see two types of deps: those that are only pertaining to emacs, and those that are generic. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Certainly, but I would explain why not do it :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

yes but the first should be sufficient, "zypper al emacs", as dependencies must still match emacs requirements or zypper would complain. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

In YaST, yes. Click on the package, select the versions tab, then select the appropriate version. Provided it is still in the repo, that is. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Click on the package, select the versions tab, then select the appropriate version.
The difference between doing it with the YaST GUI and the CLI is that with the CLI you'll need to know what version you want to go back to. You might find that in previous (possibly archived) zypper logs -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
