Re: [p2-dev] Resolver priority question
|
The penalty for root IUs (explicitely installed IUs) or IUs to install is 1, the other penalties is a power of K
(K for the most recent IU, K**2 for the second most recent IU, etc) where K is the number of installed IUs on the current system + 1.
The relevant par of the code in p2 is here (line 73):
