I have been upgrading my factory copy with zypper since early alphas and
seems it can manage upgrades preyy much fine except for

1. it is slow ( well, that's a general problem)

2. it emits "scary"(for users) errors and then seems to try with
--nodeps and continue anyway.

3. it emits equally "scary" "invalid object" messages (wth means in this
context..dunno ;) )

4. Y and N dialogs are still messed up horrible.

5. it failed to upgrade on the libbz2 split ( as well smart, yast do
anyway..;) )

yes, it is probably very, very hard to get right.

I would like to see a) upgrade with zypper b) upgrade with CD fully
supported.
