An option should be added to install all updates (ie. this would run 'zypper up' without the '-t patches' option).

I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to automatically install each and every version update. Usually you install a system and only update it if it's needed e.g. for security reasons. These updates are provided by patches. If you always want to have the latest version installed on your system you might want to use openSUSE Factory. But I would not recommend this for a productive system. + #3: Todd R (theblackcat) (2011-01-12 21:55:05) (reply to #2) + For users who want to keep an absolutely stable system, yes.

I just want the packages on my system updated to the latest that's in the update repositories for the opensuse release on my machine, or in the case of packman the latest from the packman repos *for that opensuse release*. Using factory would be a completely different thing. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308896
