IMHO we're a bit stuck for a decent updater at the moment. Some of us (me included) just drop a script in cron.daily to run zypper up, but this is no good for most users. Neither is having to remember to manually open up YAST->Online Update every day a good solution for anyone.
gpk-update-icon has been working pretty okay in my tests.
(I acknowledge it's name starts with a g and not a k, but apart from that, might that be workable for you, bettern than zypper up from cron?)
I think you mean pk-update-icon since gpk-update-icon does not exist any more in 12.1. The former only depends on GTK2, libunique, libnotify and the PackageKit Glib bindings, it is currently hardwired to run gpk-update-viewer when clicked, so that may or may not be acceptable for KDE users. I'm planning to rewrite it on top of zypper and YaST Online Update, that should be a bit more desktop agnostic. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
