https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216097 ------- Comment #62 from joe_morris@ntm.org 2007-06-15 05:36 MST ------- IMHO, security patches have a different priority to be installed than the latest KDE app, mozilla, etc. That priority difference is the reason I want an applet to show me when there is a security patch available. I want to get these installed ASAP. Other package updates can be done on a more semi scheduled basis, i.e. when I want to look what all has been updated. This second case YAST already covers very well. The first case is presently covered pretty well by opensuseupdater right now. Rather than spend time to make it more annoying (announcing every new package in all the configured repositories) I would prefer it did the first case perfectly. If it were an option to turn the feature (what to me would be an annoyance) on or off, I suppose it would work for most. I for one would not turn it on, as I ONLY want a GUI reminder to let me know of important updates, which by my definition would only mean security updates. I used zen in 10.1, and was annoyed at being forced to either have very few repositories configured for the zen updater to only get reminded (and actually forced to install or be bothered constantly) of security updates, and then be forced to use something other than YAST to update other packages (I used Smart). After YAST working so well in 9.3, and having it cover other package updates quite well, and having the suse watcher for security updates, 10.1 was a big disappointment. Whatever happens, I just hope opensuseupdater continues to be lightweight and whether by option or design can let me know of ONLY security updates while allowing me to use YAST for other package updates (meaning I have to have the repositories configured), I will be happy. BTW, could it be renamed osupdater, or os_updater. It has a really long name. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
