[Bug 461209] New: zypper: make --no-recommends default
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461209 Summary: zypper: make --no-recommends default Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jengelh@medozas.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Beta-Customer This is a feature request to make --no-recommends the default (when it is not specified). GNU getopt allows me to shorten it to --no-r but still, always having to type that just so that zypper does not offer me tons of packages would be good, and would also match apt-get behavior. Instead, a --install-recommends should probably be 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.

However, setting this to true (and removing the leading '#') does not have any effect.

I was referring to ~/.zypperrc. But it's true that zypper should not override libzypp's setting unless explicitly request so this is a bug. c#4: Thanx for the patch, but we really want the installation 'with recommends' by default. Rationale: less experienced users will be better off with more packages since they will provide more functionality. Experienced users can tweak the config. So once the above bug is fixed and/or zypper config will be implemented, you will be free to change that for you. I'll keep this bug now to fix the bug with zypper overriding libzypp's config. Thanx for pointing this 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.
