I think I'll be more conservative. :-)

Looks like you can accomplish the same with

zypper -n dup --auto-agree-with-licenses

these days.

-n, --name
Select resolvables by their name (default).

I don't see how this one would help? Unless the meaning has been changed :-?

-l, --auto-agree-with-licenses
Automatically say 'yes' to third party license confirmation
prompt. By using this option, you choose to agree with
licenses of all third-party software this command will
install. This option is particularly useful for
administators installing the same set of packages on
multiple machines (by an automated process) and have the
licenses confirmed before.

That's nice... but I still need an autoretry on network errors, and ignore on other. Or even better, postpone.

* Postpone: in case of error, if some answer is needed from the admin,
postpone it. After a minute, continue the download and install, and ask
those questions at the very end when nothing else remains to be done.

That way the admin can continue working somewhere else and return
without finding the "dup" stuck somewhere at the middle for three
hours.


* Download all first, install later. This would reduce the chances of
inconsistencies during a long install. Even better, optimize
downloading two packages at the same time, or using an aria2c download
algorithm.
