The Wiert Corner – irregular stream of stuff

I totally missed this announcement 2 months ago:

after this update, zypper dup will default to –no-allow-vendor-change, whichhas been the recommended way for Tumbleweed for a long time now.

Source: Re: [opensuse-factory] dup –no-allow-vendor-change is now default

So Dominique was glad to “rub the salt” a bit (:

[WayBack/Archive.is] Dominique / DimStar‏ @DimStar Replying to @sysrich @jpluimers: for the record: –no-allow-vendor-change has become the default in Tumbleweed, see also http://dominique.leuenberger.net/blog/2017/06/review-of-the-week-201726/

It was documented at least on these places:

• [Archive.is] Review of the week 2017/26 – Dominique a.k.a. DimStar (Dim*):
  libzypp: change of default setting for ‘allow vendor change to false’ during zypper dup (just a change in the default shipped zypp.conf file)
• [WayBack] openSUSE News: Tumbleweed Snapshots Update AppStream, Mesa, Frameworks – July 13th, 2017 by Douglas DeMaioThe 20170708 snapshot had a big change to libzypp 16.13.0. The new version update hides the switch of the default for zypper dup; after this update, zypper dup will default to --no-allow-vendor-change, which has been the recommended way for Tumbleweed for a long time now, according to an email post on the openSUSE Factory Mailing List from Dominique Leuenberger. That is if the user did not change /etc/zypp/zypp.conf -.
• [WayBack] [opensuse-factory] New Tumbleweed snapshot 20170708 released!
  – Adjust zypp.conf for openSUSE Tumbleweed (bsc#1031756)
• [WayBack] Re: [opensuse-factory] dup –no-allow-vendor-change is now default
  

  – Adjust zypp.conf for openSUSE Tumbleweed (bsc#1031756)

  ^^^^ This change hides the switch of the default for zypper dup: after
  this update, zypper dup will default to –no-allow-vendor-change, which
  has been the recommended way for Tumbleweed for a long time now.

  NOTE: This will ONLY update your default configuration if you did not
  touch /etc/zypp/zypp.conf – If you had local modifications, rpm will
  have put a file NEXT to it (zypp.conf.rpmnew), in which case you have
  to adjust the settings manually (or you likely already did)

  Hope this will eliminate a good part of the issues people kept on
  reporting about updates – bringing Tumbleweed one step closer to what
  you expect it to do in all situations.
