[opensuse] Whew! 547 Megabytes of Online Updates for 11.1
Wow, I moved a machine to 11.1 and then did a quick zypper up and to my surprise, I was presented with 547M of updates in over 400 files. I could see that many if I had used the '-t package' option, but was a bit surprised to see that from a simple update. That's quite a bit of work between December and today. Hopefully with the extended release schedule, the post release update requirement can be whittled down a bit. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Perhaps you missed the thread indicating zypper up in 11.1 now updates every update and not just security updates. Perhaps you were really meaning to use zypper patch, which only installs security updates. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 11.1 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Right you are Joe, thanks! I knew that was one hell of a lot of updates ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Try zypper up -t patch The 'zypper up' default is changed from patch to package. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
