Description Ludwig Nussel 2011-11-30 15:08:31 UTC

I can't find a references to where libzypp or sat-solver would parse 'severity' elements in updateinfo.xml. I only find code for the handling the category. Since severity is a valid patchinfo field I'd expect the update stack to actually display is somewhere.

severity? That seems to be some new updateinfo element, added last year (see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=624079).

Seems like it's connected to the "RATING" patchinfo element in the current
autobuild code, but nobody parsed it as you noticed.
(I wonder why it was added to autobuild, and when...)

(And we need to check how RedHat uses it, we really want to keep updateinfo.xml compatible.)

But wait, Duncan already implemented the sat-solver part. For some unknown reason, it's missing in libsolv. Grrr.

"Feature 312633"

Comment 4 Michael Andres 2012-03-14 23:34:43 UTC

libzypp-11.2.0 propagates patch severity.
