Date: Wed, 11 May 2022 14:18:01 +0200 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============2007058014525352105==" List-Id: --===============2007058014525352105== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi all, I saw this comment in the Pakfire functions library: https://git.ipfire.org/?p=3Dipfire-2.x.git;a=3Dblob;f=3Dsrc/pakfire/lib/funct= ions.pl;h=3Dd4e338f23ae8ae97d6f18c6d8890d13463dc5d30;hb=3Drefs/heads/next#l762 And I remembered that sometimes people ask how to reinstall an update. For example because they have changed from the "testing" tree back to "stable= " and want to get the final release version of the update. Would it be worthwhile to add a "reinstall core update" button to the web int= erface? Or would that lead to people breaking stuff? Is decrementing '/opt/pakfire/db/core/mine' still the recommended way to do t= hat? https://wiki.ipfire.org/configuration/ipfire/pakfire/testing Best regards Leo --===============2007058014525352105==--
