But, for some library work, we will need to rebuild packages that are identical to the 11.4 version, and I will use links, but how do you create a "source link" that will keep the version number greater, than the 11.4 one?
You mean the release number? If it's a source link, the built packages will always have a bigger release number.
Yes, the release number will always be the same, that's easy, it's the "build number" that is the issue. When linking a new package into tumbleweed, the build number starts over and I know of no way to have it start at a higher number other than to manually rebuild it multiple times :(
Hmm, the "checkin counter" of the resulting rpm (i.e. the first part of the release number) should be bigger than the 11.4 one. Do you have an example where this isn't the case?
I think one issue is that Greg not just links to openSUSE:Factory, but also to other devel projects.
No, that's not the issue, when I do that, the main release number will always be bigger than what is in openSUSE:11.4 (otherwise why would it be an update?) The issue is when I link to packages in openSUSE:11.4. When doing that, the build number is reset to start over and doesn't have any relation to the build number of the package in openSUSE:11.4. This is needed when rebuilding a package that links against a library update in openSUSE:Tumbleweed, which might just happen this week, so we will cross that bridge very soon... thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
