No, you do not have to use zmd to do this.
This has been implemented in YaST2 extra for users who demanded it repeatedly (it had not been implemented for years _on_purpose_ although it was technically never a problem because it was simply undesired that users do this because it results in broken bug reports, wasted time and, in the end, frustrated users).
/sbin/yast2 sw_single
Upper Menubar:
Package -> All packages -> Update if newer version available
And try to imagine that maybe(?) the developers simply don't want it to be easier. There are not only users who wish this and that, but there is also another party involved who has to provide support and deal with all these "your official update notification applet showed security updates from the official servicepack repositories in the buildservice and now my X doesn't start anymore" reports.
The functionality _is_ provided in YaST2, it is explicitly not supported and undesired that users do this and so I don't quite get why you insist on having it in opensuseupdater.
But if this implemented as an "Opt In" feature in opensuse-updater, Then you won't gat any reports such as "your official update notification applet showed security updates from the official servicepack repositories in the buildservice and now my X doesn't start anymore" because 1 > First of all build service repositories are not official repositories, 2 > Those people you mentioning mostly be new opensuse users or corporate clients who mostly won't add 3rd party repositories by default and enable opensuse-updater to show updates from third party repositories, IMHO if this feature can be easily implementable by modifying just opensuse-updater code, there is nothing wrong in implement this feature as an "Opt in" -- 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.
