NEW: zypper-1.14.31 (libzypp-17.15.0) --solver-focus MODE [/etc/zypp/zypp.conf:solver.focus] If you do not request a specific version of a package the solver will pick a reasonable one. The solvers general attitude when resolving a job is to focus on installing the best version of the requested package and to add or update dependencies as they are needed. Aside from this 'Focus on Job', which is the default, two other focus modes are available: In 'Focus on Installed' mode the solver focuses on applying as little changes to the installed packages as needed. Choosing an older version of a requested package is valid if it’s dependencies require less changes to the system. The solver will try to avoid updating already installed packages. In 'Focus on Update' mode the solver focuses on updating the requested package and all its dependencies as much as possible. Beware, installing a single package in this mode may easily lead to a mini system update. For a single command the focus mode can be set using the '--solver-focus MODE' switch. Valid modes are Job, Installed or Update. If you want to change the default mode for your system, set [/etc/zypp/zypp.conf:solver.focus] to the desired value. -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres, R&D, ma@suse.com, Phone: ++49 (0)911 - 74 053-0 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg Germany, (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Geschäftsführer: Felix Imendörffer +------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: zypp-devel+owner@opensuse.org
