Personally, I like zypper a whole lot more than either apt or aptitude, or yum, or dnf, or urpmi, or any other packaging wrapper. :-)
I just think it takes twice as long to start and the output is not as elegant, but perhaps it is just personal preference or what I'm used to ;-).
As I've said, that show to start is because zypper is performing update checks and integrity checks behind the scenes. I value the overall integrity of my install. Yes you can bypass this by installing with rpm alone and some packages do that. So long as they are simply things like java applications that don't modify the systems (aka can be installed by a non privileged user in that users home directory tree) this shouldn't matter to the system overall. Its why ISP that supply shared systems can operate. But once you start fiddling with the core systems and not performing integrity check you run into the RPM equivalent of DLL-Hell. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
