In my 10.1 days I got used to working with ZMD, which had more than its share of problems, but also was able to tell me when new versions of installed packages became available in the repositories.

I decided to drop ZMD in favor of zypper in 10.2, and either I am doing something wrong or it can't show me new versions; I used "zypper sa" to add basically the same repositories, but afterwards no updates were shown, even after manually telling it to check for them. If I use Yast Software Management I can see (and install) the newer versions quite easily.

Does zypper only work with YOU patches, or is the feature I'm looking for available but I'm just not doing it right?

Yes, by default zypper up etc will only show packages marked as patch priority, since doing an "upgrade all packages to newer available versions" is usually a bad idea as it will replace supported packages with potentially unsupported unstable packages. Normally it's best to keep up to date with patches and upgrade those packages which you need to upgrade. However, if you wish to do an upgrade all you could do "zypper up -t package" or "zypper -r" for "rug compatable" mode _ Benjamin Weber -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
