Hi list,
I've skipped using the built in software management in openSUSE for the past 3-4 releases, as I have been using the 'smart package manager' to do my updates and even dist upgrades.
I have had my eyes on libzypp for a while, for it's great performance compared to smart.
Glad to read this :O)
I have 2 questions for libzypp and the zypper commandline tool:
1. Is there any way to completely and forcefully disable the vendor check ? I now that I can add trusted vendors to the list, but that is not my objective. I rely on the repo priority, and do not wish to use the vendor check feature of libzypp.
None that i know of. CCing to zypp-devel mailing list.
2. 'Download first - install after' behavior. I remember someone mentioning a 'secret' unsupported option or configuration for zypp to start installation, only after/if all packages have been downloaded first. I just don't remember what it was.
--dry-run with keeppackages turned on. It wasn't really secret, but i admit even i (one of zypp(er) developers) did not get the idea of using it for this purpose :O) Josef did. He already posted the link in the other mail, but here it is again: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2008/10/30/how-survive-zypper-dup-on-system-with... -- cheers, jano Ján Kupec YaST team ---------------------------------------------------------(PGP)--- Key ID: 637EE901 Fingerprint: 93B9 C79B 2D20 51C3 800B E09B 8048 46A6 637E E901 ---------------------------------------------------------(IRC)--- Server: irc.freenode.net Nick: jniq Channels: #zypp #yast #suse #susecz ---------------------------------------------------------(EOF)---
