If nobody sees it, its not a bug.
Go offline and run "yast2 inst_source", in that very moment you have already lost all your installation sources, you don't even need to hit the "Finish" button because they are already deleted in that very moment. Of course only 0.0067% users will do that, I know... Guess where opensuse-updater sends the user for adding sources: To "yast2 inst_source". But of course all systems are permanently connected to the web and the installation sources are never in a bad state, or at maximum 0.0067% of the time. (In reply to comment #19)
ZMD does not provide extra protection against bugs in zypp.
Sorry Benjamin, this is not true, it does. You did obviously not try to reproduce what is described above. You don't need to convince me that the architecture is broken by design, but zypp alone is not so much better. I'm not here to practice democracy of whatever, just trying to prevent doing something stupid that will bite you in the end. Today there was a different bug report where a user complained that opensuse-updater installs only patches and doesn't update all packages to their most recent version. The resolution was that the user should switch opensuse-updater to the zmd backend because it is able to do that. Of course the distribution becomes more intuitive and attractive if this is not even installed by default... One of the conclusions that had been made after the 10.1 release was no more late changes of this impact, but that's exactly what we're preparing here again. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
