[opensuse] Just wanted to know.....
On my computer I just like to update my 11.4 with the latest so I do a regular zypper dup. No big problems up to now but as I see the daily harvest of changes I just wonder if somebody could give me the story behind such changes. Today e.g. there was a change for libfm 0.1.14_rc2-82.1 -> 0.1.14_rc2-83.1 No idea what is using this lib but I just wonder who thinks and decides to start changing e.g this lib and looking at the numbering it must have been a small change. sometimes the change is also to an earlier version. Has somebody put more changes into such a work and than found out that it was more than it should be? Is there place where I could look into the kitchen? Do not want to cook myself ;) but just would like to see the cook at work. -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.0.0-rc3-3-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.6.4 (4.6.4) 18:58pm up 1 day 2:14, 3 users, load average: 4.02, 2.98, 2.51 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Check with rpm -q --changelog libfm the changes of the package. The 82 -> 83 normally indicates some kind of change, the digits afterwards is for build numbers.

Are you really running plain 11.4 or do you have some additional repositories added?

Ah, ok. In that case: packages get rebuild because dependencies change or because of changes to the packaging. libfm was updated in Factory because of a change to the packaging, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE aj@{novell.com,suse.com,opensuse.org} Twitter/Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

i never use "zypper dup" unless i'm switching to a new repository. for general updates, "zypper up" should be sufficient. if you have more than the original repos (OSS, non-OSS, update) enabled, even if it's only packman, "zypper dup" will likely lead to trouble unless you specify a particular repo to do "zypper dup" from. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
