Can we drop Selections?
Yes, please.
-> No support for Selections in the DB?
-> Leave Selection in libzyyp for a while? As a known but unused kind of resolvable, otherwise pkg-bindings/UI had to be adapted immediately.
Since openSUSE 10.2 already works without selections, the respective code can be removed from pkg-bindings and UI.
-> How to behave if the user adds a repository that contains Selections? Or such a repo is present on the system upon update?
Selections are no longer supported. OpenSUSE 10.1 was the last distribution to support them. Klaus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org

Yes, but how to behave if the user adds a repository that contains Selections? Add repo) Is this considered to be a parse error, and the we treat it as an invalid repo? Existing repo) Reject (a previously accetped) Source? Or simply ignore it's Selections? Installed Selections) Silently delete them? -- 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: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org

Ignore selections, just look at the packages.

You might flag a warning, but I don't consider this mandatory.
Existing repo) Reject (a previously accetped) Source? Or simply ignore it's Selections?
Existing repo ? This would mean to support a 10.1->10.3 upgrade, which we dont.
Installed Selections) Silently delete them?
Yes. Thats what we do on openSUSE 10.2 afaik. Klaus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org

It could also mean that somebody added an older repo (that still contains
selections) to install some single packages that are no longer available on
newer releases. This is a scenario we have to take into account, and probably
also one we will have to support.

Yes, of course. Ignoring selections and just displaying packages should be sufficient in this case. Klaus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org

The installed resolvables store, always stored selections as patterns :-P It does indeed create Selection resolvables from them. Duncan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
