And of course, I want to share this with all of you, let me know what you think of it. I uploaded it to Google Docs, here are the links:

They are on pdf format since google docs wouldn't allow me to upload the .svg files.

These sound really useful. Could you please post them somewhere as PDF documents (i.e. http//..../xxx.pdf ), not buried under Google's Web API.

(Since Google started mangling links in searches, I no longer trust them to do anything other than serve plain files - the way my machine is set up the links you gave resolve into "google isn't willing to talk to you")

Perfect, thanks a lot! I think that would do. In the meantime I'll be working on a site of my own. This might be a good excuse to go back to the website I left abandoned. =) @ jdd, thanks a lot as well, when this last e-mail arrived I was struggling with my poor french on the site you sent me. =P And btw, google sites didn't let me upload the pdfs there either.

I have just uploaded the pdfs here http://iguanasuicide.net/node/10, along with a letter sized version. Thanks Greg for pointing that out, and thanks again Stephen for hosting the files. In regards to the script for the upgrade, sounds really nice. Regards, Juan On Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 3:36 PM, Greg Freemyer wrote:

Juan and all,

I agree with everyone that these are great.  The pdf's may be a little large for US 8 1/2 x 11 paper.  I think A4 is slightly larger and you went right out to the edge.

More importantly, it reminds me I think a new CLI feature / script is needed to work in conjunction with zypper dup.

At least for me, the most error prone aspect of doing a dist upgrade this way to getting the repositories correct.

A simple script (dist_upgrade_to_factory) that added the correct repositories and disabled the old repositories would be great.  And then as a last step it could call zypper dup.

If the variation on repository name is too great, then it could at least have a simple loop the printed each repository and let the user select yes / no for disabling them.

If others agree, I can add this to openfate.

Greg

I will be creating an account later and try to edit the Zypper Usage page to upload the files, or at least link to them. But I'd like to know your opinion in regards to where I should locate it, since that Cheat Sheet reflects most of the information on that page. Should it go at the beginning? i.e. "The short and compressed version of everything you're about to read". Or at the end i.e. "All that you just read, you can have it compressed on two pages"?

Wiki will accept pdf as image upload :)

but, some article has to contain links to those "images".

Great job ! Thanks for your efforts ! By the way, Can I get the original - I mean, editable - format files of these PDFs so that I can translate them into our own language ? I think it's very useful if we can share such cool documents not only as PDF files but also as editable format files. That would certainly make Non-English-Native users happy. ;-) Best, -- _/_/ Satoru Matsumoto - openSUSE Member - Japan _/_/ _/_/ Marketing/Weekly News/openFATE Screening Team _/_/ _/_/ mail: helios_reds_at_gmx.net / irc: HeliosReds _/_/ _/_/ http://blog.geeko.jp/author/heliosreds _/_/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks a lot for your words. =) Just a few minutes ago I subscribed to the marketing mailing list. In regards to the source files, I'll be sending them to you directly, since I've tried to upload them to the Zypper Usage page along with the pdfs, but I'm unable to. I tried both .svg and a zip file with the four svgs, but I get an error message saying those are not recommended formats.

I would also like to know if (as suggested by Satoru) it would be possible to upload the original svgs (I could start playing around with the wiki code, but at this point I'm really tired and kind of frustrated with the upload of the a4 version, and I don't want to break anything on the page). Rajko, I'd appreciate your help with this.

This is some awesome work -- thanks for this!

If you're interested in doing this sort of thing, it'd be great if you'd join the openSUSE Marketing team/list. I'd like to use these in the future, possibly print some up to hand out at shows.

Might be cool to have some more general command references for openSUSE as well.

Do we now have the source on the wiki somewhere?

Hi Juan!

Very good job, indeed! :O)

Few comments:

* the cheat sheet should mention zypper version it is describing Ideally, this should be the latest stable version (currently 1.0.x).

* why not just mention one of the three means of getting command help (i would use 'zypper help [command]', the other two are for those used to --help/-h, and are common in linux world)

* in modifyrepo examples, the following one might be more interesting than -Ka (that goes for the zypper/Usage wiki page, i'll change it):  zypper mr -kt # enable rpm files caching for all remote repos

* adding repos: the example needs an alias

* in Selecting Packages, by capability, i'd put  zypper in 'perl(Log::Log4perl)' instead of one of those two. That'll make it more obvious what a capability is.

* ... by specifying an .rpm file, the example could be:  zypper in skype-2.0.0.72-suse.i586.rpm

* in Zypper in Scripts, the 'zypper --non-interactive' update should now be 'zypper --non-interactive patch' in fact (and given the comment).

* Packages Locks: the subsection title should be "Lock Packages", not "Lock all Pacakges"

That's it for now. I see the cheat sheet is already on the zypper's wiki page, good! Thanx a bunch again! :O) I hope you'll get a few followers :O)

Looking at the examples on that page, i guess i should come up with a few improvements here and there :O)
