As mentioned in an earlier post, I had to recompile courier-imap from source to add mysql support (which was quite an adventure in itself!). I had the bright idea of installing using YaST installer so it would show up in the list of installed packages which it did with the "--i--" activity code indicating it should not be updated. However, YoU changes this to ">" and I can find no way to change it back which means I cannot use YoU at all.
Questions: 1. Is there some way to make YoU NOT try to update packages compiled from source?
YOU works by package name, so if you rename the package, YOU won't touch it. You can also set the package as 'taboo', which should make YOU leave it alone as well
2. I need to do a kernel update but only see the rather sizeable kernel RPM. I know that YaST (as of SuSE 9.2) only downloads and applies diffs. Is there some way I can locate and apply the diff files? What is the procedure to apply diffs?
You mean 'patch'? Just a regular 'rpm -Uvh' will upgrade with a patch.rpm
