Manfred, the technical difference is _huge_. Really. Try apt or smart or yum, they all evaluate Obsoletes as being "newer" and want to perform an "upgrade" as if Kick-suseRegister-1.0 were identical to suseRegister-<infinity> even of Kick-suseRegister was never selected explicitly, where the only way to prevent it is blocking/pinning the package altogether. > Ok, but therefore I've added the description on the webpage and into the > package description.

This is very true, but do you know how many people setup apt, smart, yum, whatever by copying other people's scripts without having the slightest idea of what they are doing, because they think they have to in order to be cool? Another scenario where descriptions are typically not read is an automatic update. Cron jobs cannot read descriptions, they just evaluate Obsoletes in a certain way and perform the upgrade non-interactively. > As far as I understand the code, it generates a guid for registration. > Why should we register a free system what most of us hate at non free > systems like Windows? This is unrelated to the Obsoletes tag, not sending the GUID can be achieved without it by either installing the new Kick-suseRegister - thanks for adjusting it - or by actually reading the Privacy Policy before hitting "Send". Thanks again for removing the Obsoletes tag, it's much better now, Andreas Hanke --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
