JFYI: In the near future for libzypp-10.x developers:

- We'll move away from libsatsolver and start using libsolv (https://github.com/openSUSE/libsolv). Recent package is available in obs://zypp:Head.

Whats the difference / advantages of one over the other ?

Upstream (mls@) has put libsatsolver in maintenance mode and wants to continue development in libsolv, which seems to be sort of cleanup release.

Why a new library (libsolv) and not a new major version of libsatsolver ?

Cause people complained that the name libsatsolver is "not optimal". It's not a generic sat solver, but a library for package management.

And therefore you chose to name the library even more generically? ;-) Now it seem to "solve things", wow :) Ciao, Michael. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
