There was no time implementing a full fledged detail view for the updater. Thus we call yast2 online update. This module however can only handle patches. We plan to integrate a proper detailed view after 10.3 For now the only safe way to deal with the plethora of problems that can arise with third party repositories (esp. when mixing) is to use zypper or yast. -- 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.

Did you use package selector or online update in YaST? As for package selector: - The official updates are not shown as patches (known limitation). You can still see the updated packages. Unfortunately an option to show only updateable packages was rejected. As for online update: - Packages are not shown. As you can see, both are known limitations which will be fixed in the _next_ version of openSUSE as they reflect new features. Was this what you were searching for? If not could you please be more specific, what details are missing in the GNOME versions of YaST / update applet? -- 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 the KDE version of online update shows no packages as well) Anyway, Include 3rd party is a updater applet only setting. The YaST online update module will only show the (official) patches -- and there is no point in showing the corresponding packages of those as they are the same, but the patch ensures certain special conditions are met if the package needs them (like reboot, affects-package-manager, etc). I wonder what's the point in seeing the details of the updates as the design goal of the applet is "fire and forget -- I don't care what tech-foo you want to update, just do it!" (And that's in fact what most people complain about any linux distribution -- it shows too much information about things the user actually doesn't know anything about). Having that said, I know that the current situation is suboptimal for more advanced users, but this will change with the next version. Meanwhile there are two options you can choose from: * using package selector always in qt mode (which has a option to show updateable packages). The release notes tell you how to do that. * using zypper on the command line. I use option 2 on one machine (but still have the applet to notify me about updates). For every other machine I use the applet only as I don't care what will be updated, because those who publish the updates do that for a reason. -- 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.
