E.g. sending zypper the instructions not as command line but as xml via stdin/out. -- 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.

But i didn't have time to think about how to actually do it since then. XML output is easy, but how about the input? How about starting a discussion about this on the softwaremgmt.oo.? I'll send the initial message. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=328839#c5 --- Comment #5 from Ján Kupec 2007-11-09 10:30:58 MST --- Well, on the second thought, maybe there's not much to discuss. I realized so far there are only 3 kinds of inputs for zypper: - options and command arguments - that's the case of this bug - answers to prompts - this is just about passing simple values based upon the questions recognized from the (xml) output (also a TODO). - control (stop) - i can think only of one example - the interruption of zypper, which can be handled by SIGINT. So i'd say yes, we could make zypper able to eat an XML from a file stream. We just need to (well, yes :O) discuss it and decide if it is the way to go. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=328839#c7 --- Comment #7 from Jörg Kreß 2007-11-12 08:04:37 MST --- I think PackageKit can't be much of a help here, because IMHO, it will not be ready for consumption for 11.0 -- ready for thorough testing and evaluation yes, but nothing more. We should be able to feed zypper with a long list of packages. Whether it's XML or simply a plain text (or yaml?) is actually not important. We don't use zypper update, because the possibility to deselect packages from the list of updates. We could use update for case in which the complete list is not altered, but this would still leave out corner cases, where someone deselects one critical package from a Factory update. But I still don't get why there haven't been any updates at all. I actually ran test with 1000 and more packages to update. And even when one package name was cut in the middle it simply said that this package doesn't exist and went on with the other 1300-odd packages. Maybe there was something else wrong (Duncan played with his libzypp, didn't he :-) ). If it happens again there should be some logs provided. -- 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.
