It is required by nothing else, +so i guess +this is either pulled by urpmi/perl-urpm/rpmdrake itself. +Can sombody enlighten me about this? + + +And the next step would be the question for the proper way how to disable +this mechanism as an enduser. For a valid scenario, here's an example: + +Say a user wants to use k9copy, as that's his favorite frontend. Currently +he can't, even if he removes task-obsolete, it will get reinstalled during +next update, removing k9copy in thee process, at least he told me so. + +Unfortunately i've never seen it in action, so can't give more details here. +But in above scenario, how can a user selectively disable task-obsolete +mechanism for this one package without touching task-obsoletes package, +removing the obsoletes tag and without disabling obsoletes mechanism altogether? + +And on a further question: Shouldn't this be only run during distro upgrades, +but not within the lifecycle of an released distro? + +Kind regards (and a merry christmas :) ) + +Florian +</PRE> + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="020914.html">[Mageia-dev] Spaces in doc filenames +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="020916.html">[Mageia-dev] task-obsolete - questions about implementation details and how to disable it +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#20915">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#20915">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#20915">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#20915">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
