(Richard) You have explained what each command does, since getting my fingers burnt im well aware, most on factory will also be aware. The crux of the post is not a request for help or clarification, it is a statement of the fact that neither 'up' nor 'dup' is the "right tool for the job" on *tumbleweed* and negotiating the between them is not easy for the uninitiated, nor is there any clean solution which is well communicated. Making the analogy to apt-get does not make the minutia of repo consistency any easier. Stating that zypper etc gives you a warning is not a well designed UI.
I would apologise but given your post made it clear you felt the learning curve for zypper was too steep, I thought you would appreciate the context behind some of the status quo Beyond that, your opinion is noted, and I agree with you But whether I agree with you or not is immaterial - someone has to contribute changes to make what me and you think is right into reality Source code is here: https://github.com/openSUSE/zypper Contributors list is here: https://github.com/openSUSE/zypper/graphs/contributors I don't know how much more positive purpose this thread can serve - if you can, please contribute, if you can't, reaching out directly to zypper contributors who can would probably be more productive than pontificating in this mailinglist, especially if you're going to get snippy with someone who was trying to help you - Rich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
