Could we please get wildcard support in all of zyppers options?
Maybe, but as a start, could you please go through all of the options that take arguments, create a list of them and think about where it would make sense to support wildcards?
E.g. "zypper in kde*" to update every package starting with "kde".
This works already. (BTW, to *update* all packages startring with 'kde' use "zypper up 'kde*'", not 'in').
Another usecase would be e.g. updating to KDE 4.2 after a fresh 11.1 installation:
E.g. I added the 3 KDE:KDE4:Factory and its aliases all start with kde4. Now according to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469188 I will be able to do e.g. "zypper dup --from kde4-desktop kde4-community ..." but simply being able to run "zypper dup --from kde4*" instead of 5-6 different zypper calls to switch every kde4 package would simply be awesome.
You don't need to call zypper mutliple times to do this. Instead, you will be able to specify the --from option several times in one command (like it is with the --repo option right now). However, adding wildcards support should be easy in this case. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
