Description:

This update for transactional-update provides the following fixes:

  • Version 3.2.1

  • t-u: Forward --quiet option to tukit.
  • Regression: Add /opt as bind mount into update environment.
  • Remove output indicators of the called command to not tamper the result line.

  • Fix /etc syncing with --drop-if-no-change.

  • Version 3.2.0

  • tukit: Add new command 'callext' to execute an application while the snapshot is mounted. '{}' as a parameter will be replaced with the path of the bind mount.
  • Fix --drop-if-no-change. (bsc#1182525)
  • Check whether self-updated version is executable (e.g. on noexec /tmp). (bsc#1173842)
  • Fix overlay synchronization with SELinux (again).
