[Bug 217489] New: zmd is started although not needed (opensuseupdater with zypp-backend)
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=217489 Summary: zmd is started although not needed (opensuseupdater with zypp-backend) Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Zenworks AssignedTo: zlm-code10-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: sven.burmeister@gmx.net QAContact: jtariq@novell.com As I take it from bug 216097, the new opensuseupdater with zypp-backend is meant to be lighter then the ZENWorks + zen-updater. If so, it does not make sense to start zmd on boot. "opensuse updater has also a zypp backend. This was done in reaction of community request that lot of people don't have the use case or need to run Zenworks daemon, so the zypp backend access the system directly and show available patches" According to the above zmd should not be started by default. -- 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.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=217489 ------- Comment #1 from sven.burmeister@gmx.net 2006-11-10 09:07 MST ------- In beta2 it got even better. Both zen-updater and opensuseupdater are started by default. What's the purpose of having two update-applets in the tray by default? Especially since opensusewatcher was supposed to get rid of zen-updater and zmd for people who do not need it. -- 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.

It reports 0 updates, while zen-updater reports 5. If it's not ready it should not be started by default. Having another release with an update "story" would suck. The default update system should be just there and just work, this time. If people don't like the default system because of whatever reason, then can replace it, but the reason must absolutely not be "it doesn't work". -- 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.

It should apparently show the updates too, if the zenworks-backend is used, yet I am not sure about the latter. Also, there has to be an update-source in YaST, not just zen. -- 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.
