I went ahead and dropped most of kde3 from factory. The runtime needed is still there, but the desktop won't be functional anymore and as such there won't be any patterns offered from factory installs.
We should discuss if we want to keep it all in KDE:KDE3 and merge KDE:MIsc and KDE:Community in. Or we could continue the push to Contrib discussion, but first we need people to take care of KDE3.
I'm not ready to drop KDE3 from any of my 7 existing Factory installs. Changing from KDE3 to KDE4 is like changing from Mac OS X to Windows Vista. I won't have time for that any time before KDE 4.3 is final.
Is there some way to lock KDE3 in place while allowing zypper up or zypper dup to update the rest of Factory? I looked through /etc/zypp/zypp.conf, and nothing about locking installed rpms jumped at me. There's a reference to a locks file, but none exists, nor is there any indication what it might be for.
locking is not a good idea since other incompatible changes might break your old packages later. Better is to add the Factory repo from KDE:KDE3 project to keep a KDE 3 installation. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
