In 10,3 zypper is so good that we will only need apt/smart in few occasions, and probably in 11.0 we will be able to forget them definitively
:-)
In which occasions?
occasion 1) =========== We need to download -only download- a list of packages and keep it for any posterior use, for example: - download updates every night to update our local update server - make a dvd update for pc's with no internet acces (great!) To do so, first, I get a list with all necessary rpm's in every box I maintain: rpm -qa --queryformat "%{name} \n" | grep -v gpg-pubkey | sort > pc_01.list with those lists, every night my server's cron downloads all updates that afect me: apt-get update apt-get reinstall -dy $(cat pc_01.list pc_02.list ... pc_NN.list) and it updates my local repo too: rm /srv/ftp/repo/RPMS.last/* cp /var/cache/apt/*.rpm /srv/ftp/repo/RPMS.last genbasedir /srv/ftp/repo/ When I need, I can: - Test new updates in a vmware machine "without wait for download" (*) - Apply it fastly (*) to my 5 local pc's, if everthing is ok. - I can burn a dvd to update my home's pc, where I have no internet conetion. - Perform fastly a new updated fresh install - Retain versions of packages to prevent broken updrades. (*) 11Mb/s instead 106Kb/s means about 100 times faster. Regards.
