oh.. and zypper lu for some strange reasons shows no updates to be done on my installation; if I do rug lu, I see a bunch of updates. funny, zypper in can install them too.. so it knows about the catalogs :-) So probably also not the oh-wonder-it-s-magic tool (yet)
zypper lu only lists patches, not regular package upgrades like those from factory, for that you use: zypper lu -t package (package as opposed to patch which is the default option).
In general, I think there are to many programs for the same thing being developed at the moment withing openSUSE: we have yast(you), zmd, zypper, all of them using libzypp (so far very good) but still, all of them failing in different places on libzypp bugs. (so not all use libzypp the same way). This work should be concentrated to one big stream... THAT would probably give the best package manager ever.
That work _is_ being concentrated right now by removing zmd+friends from default and focusing on yast+zypper+desktop-specific-updater applets+libzypp. That is also why I think you should support that process with testing and feedback, instead of clinging on to the dreaded zmd-stuff - even though zypper is presently a bit rough and libzypp is of course not blazingly fast. You should also see Duncan speak about libzypp at FOSDEM: http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/FOSDEM/2007/fosdem2007-17_Common_package_an... And maybe have a look at some of the libzypp wiki pages: http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp_Ng/Speed http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp_NG --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
