PackageKit zypper plugin should default to dup on Tumbleweed and I used it both with GNOME Software and KDE default updater. Are there any real problems or is it "just in case"? The recommended and supported way to update Tumbleweed is still via zypper, thus I was under the impression that the default via PackageKit would be misleading. That said gnome-packagekit and package-update-indicator can still be installed if so desired, they just are no longer default on Tumbleweed. Of course if there an overwhelming rejection of this change we can always restore it the way it was. Best, Maurizio
This isn't right. We have been told many times by the people in charge, that PackageKit is using "zypper dup". -> everything on TW uses "zypper dup" only. So, as it is the same thing, you are removing functionality for no reason. On Gnome and KDE the guis are working beautifully (other than the few cases when they fail and don't apply the updates due to missing updated packages dependencies in the repos -> this then has to be manually resolved (by typing 1,2,3,4) with zypper on the cmd line or yast). So: Please stop removing beautiful functionality and instead focus on improving the guis to take care of these corner cases. -> we are in 2023. Please stop going backwards. Many thanks.
