All of the above would make "zypper up" all but identical to "patch". :-) I adjusted the summary to reflect the enhancement request.
Even if the result is usually similar, the approach is different: - up: Is a 'best effort' approach. You get the latest version 'if it can be installed without conflicts'. There's no assertion - and no conflicts. - patch: A patch requires minimal package versions to be installed. If it can't be applied because packages are involved in a conflict, the conflict is reported. The enhancement could also include 'zypper patch --update'; an option to 'patch' which combines 'patch' and 'up' (assert patches get applied and update whatever else is possible in one go). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
