OK nice option, because what happens when you realize your new rpm does not work as expected and u wanna revert back to older version, but the mirrors do not have it anymore, or it is a very big package long to download.
what is lacking (for the next version) is a mean to revert back to the N-1 version when something when wrong with the new one. In IBM AIX the package installer has 2 options : - just apply to the system and save old files somewhere to be able to revert to saved version (with reject option) - commit an applied version (erasing the old saved ones) surely needs an rpm patch... for mandrake 10 maybe :)) Pascal Le Tuesday 12 February 2002 10:51, Fran�ois Pons a �crit : ..... snip .... > FYI a new option is available that should not clean the cache (--noclean) > if someone want to use it, the old mechanism is still active, before > transaction keep in cache what has been requested, remove anything else, > download newer version, and install them.
