I totally agree, upgrading packages is a major pain.
Its mostly caused by historical reasons. Our main focus was on controlled (and controllable) customer environments for support purposes. Giving the user the ability to upgrade whatever package from any repository was (and still is) a supporters nightmare ;-) And this is still true for most enterprise systems. Sysadmins will never upgrade because a newer version is available but only because of a fixed bug or a required feature.
IMO upgrading packages should be a one-click, show a proposal, give the option to deselect some upgrade operations (if needed), and then a confirmation button, that's it.
zen-updater (and 'rug' on the command line) give you this ability. Klaus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory-help@opensuse.org
