My problem still seems unsolved (or did I miss something) ? |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Lets say, if I've, installed foo-1.1, and it gets masked due |
| 6 |
some bug(s), but 1.0 isn't, I want to get informed with an big |
| 7 |
fat warning, *before* anything actually done, ie. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
[...] |
| 10 |
# WARNING: installed package foo-1.1 has been masked and would |
| 11 |
# be downgraded: |
| 12 |
# <masking comment ...> |
| 13 |
[...] |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
An fully-automatic downgrade should *never* downgrade anything. |
| 16 |
This is too dangerous, because essential features can get lost. |
| 17 |
Again, my bugzilla example: assuming 2.22 will be unmasked some |
| 18 |
day and I installed it w/ postgres support. Now there are some |
| 19 |
bugs found, but not fixed fast enough, so it gets masked. |
| 20 |
I run an update w/o knowing that it downgrades, and my whole |
| 21 |
bugzilla hosting is suddenly broken. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Do you consider this as stability, seriously ?! |
