I just initiated a "zypper dup --from Tumbleweed" and I get 8 packages it wants to download.

looking at virtualbox as a specific example, it looks like the vanilla 11.4 version is indeed newer.
sudo zypper se -s virtualbox | grep " virtualbox " i | virtualbox | package | 4.0.4-1.2.3 | x86_64 | openSUSE-11.4 OSS v | virtualbox | package | 4.0.4-1.2 | x86_64 | Tumbleweed v | virtualbox | package | 4.0.4-1.2.3 | i586 | openSUSE-11.4 OSS v | virtualbox | package | 4.0.4-1.2 | i586 | Tumbleweed | virtualbox | srcpackage | 4.0.4-1.2 | noarch | Tumbleweed
Is there a problem with Tumbleweed? I thought it should always have newer packages than OSS.
It "should" normally, but for virtualbox, I had to link to the current version in the tree, because our kernel updated, and you do want to be able to run the virtualbox kmp in our new kernel, right?
If you look close, the minor (i.e. build) number should just be smaller for virtualbox, not the version number, right? So all should be fine, the package was just rebuilt for the Tumbleweed repo (i.e. against the newer kernel)
If not, let me know and I'll see what happened, as I did link to the openSUSE:Factory version of virtualbox, should I have grabbed a different one instead?
Well, I'm not sure. Look at libtdb1 (zypper se -s libtdb1)
For the main 11.4 OSS repo it's 1.2.1-2.17.1
For tumbleweed it's 1.2.1-2.1
I don't know the numbering nomenclature well enough to be sure, but that looks to me like tumbleweed is behind.
It's not.
libtdb1 is a subpackage made from the Samba tar ball.
Oops, wrong project :)
At the time we moved with Samba to 3.5.8 I asked Greg to link Tumbleweed Samba to network:samba:STABLE.
And the libtdb1 in version 1.2.1 from there has 30.1 as release number.
Would it make sense for all packages living in Tumbleweed to add an additional subrelease - resulting for libtdb1 in 1.2.1-30.1.2 for example - while we - I hope the OBS is able to handle this with out any extra manual action - keep this digit strictly monotonous growing?
I don't know how to do this with links in obs, does anyone else? I don't think it's a real problem as it will only increase as time goes on, the next time this would come up would be after the next major openSUSE release when we add packages back to Tumbleweed again. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
