Everything (these) users want is to have the latest packages installed on their systems.
Use case: 1.) Show all packages from PacKman 2.) Click "All Packages" 3.) Select "Upgrade all (if possible, of course)"
Now what's "if possible, of course" supposed to mean ?
The point is, that the sat-solver provides just this functionality, 'compute all possible updates'. The result is 'solved', you won't get any dependency conflicts.
Sat-solver also provides SOLVER_INSTALL_SOLVABLE_UPDATE to request the update of one solvable (within the limits of the policies). I'm thinking about using this to implement Solvable::freshen(). -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres YaST Development ma@novell.com SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany, ++49 (0)911 - 740 53-0 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
