All,
Is there a simple way security updates can be tested to install cleanly on a Tumbleweed system?
Can we make that part of the process somehow?
No, that's not up to the security or maintance people, that's up to the tumbleweed developers.

I just tried to do a YOU, but I get a conflict that a typical user should not have to face just because they're using Tumbleweed:
What's a "YOU"?
Yast Online Update
It's the normal security update process that all users should use.
ie. Hopefully everybody is pulling / installing security updates.
I typically pull security updates by typing "you" at the command-line when I get the urge.
It was a bugfix update though.
I don't think the typical opensuse user knows virtualbox has to be compiled for a specific kernel.
And I assume the goal is for the "typical tumbleweed user" to be similar to the typical opensuse user.
Also, normally when there is a package conflict and one of the choices will break a package (or more), then the choices the user gets to select from explicitly say that. In this case, the choices don't make that clear.
I still think that you need to have a certain level of knowledge to try Tumbleweed though, and this includes resolving of such minor conflicts.

Should "Who should use Tumleweed" at
http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed
be updated to say that
"Tumbleweed users will experience more package conflicts than users of the normal openSUSE releases and therefor Tumbleweed users should feel comfortable resolving minor conflicts."
"more"? Since when do users of "normal" openSUSE releases have _any_ such conflicts? Anyway, virtualbox is now gone from tumbleweed so this isn't an issue anymore. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
