Yes, that's 11.0. Great to hear that it'll be implemented, it is a
long-standing critical feature for me (one of the reasons I need to use
yum so far).

Short of that, can I update selected packages? It doesn't seem to be
possible, but I'm probably missing something. For example, I'd like to
update the zypper package:

 # zypper update -t package zypper
Too many arguments.
Usage:

Thanks,
Peter
PS. There is no zypp-users list that I missed, and that would be a
better place to ask dumb questions, is there?
