So i'll do the following: * -t option default will be 'package' for 'up' and 'lu'
does this mean,t hat when in the past, packages were ignore with 'lu' and 'up', then in the future patches will be ignored?
exactly
to me the least surprise had been to offer any types of updates, regardless wether they are patches or packages, so the default would be "--type any", and then you can force-focus on just packages or just patches using the --type argument explicitely.
Might be. The reason why i did not consider this is that users always expected 'package updates' from 'update' (there are tens of bug reports). Plus YaST also does not mix the two update types. I'm not sure how it would look like if we mixed this. But we might still can change this, if more people will prefer your suggestion.
For that, the type argument could be allowed to be given several times, accumulating them all, or take a comma-separated list.
It is, see the initial comment.
* two new commands will be added (patch, list-patches) * the 'lu' and 'up' commands will be synced to show the same * --raw (or something like that) option will be added to 'lu' to show all packages with newer available version regardless whether they are installable or not.
plus I still believe it's a very usefull thing to be able to set the defaults on a per repository basis, in the per-repo config file.
I would like to discuss this, but why not do it on opensuse-softwaremgmt ML? Bugzilla is not a good discussion forum :O) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
