I like the suggestion a lot. The user will specifically want to install the packman versions of crippled packages, but won't want build service re-cripped newer versions to override them. Also it would help discourage upgrade all mentality which would replace all suse supported packages with the newer unsupported versions on packman when the user doesn't require the newer version.
I see and i dont like it. Because that would mean that you never get anything updated from a 3rd party repo because there the vendor will always be !=
User would still be able to request upgrade to a different vendor, but automatic upgrades to different vendor are more likely to cause problems than be useful imo.
I agree. But Henne makes a good point too, and I have no doubt that many, many users will be very unhappy if "upgrade all"-behaviour is made more difficult for them - even if it is for their own good ;-) Many already want it to be even easier than now - for example by opensuseupdater supporting it. Maybe it could be possible to have two options. Only do semi-automatic updates from same vendor (default) and Do semi-automatic upgrade of any package where newer version is avaialable, (break-my-SUSE) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
