Presently discussion is on-going in bugzilla about the architecture of package management, mostly wrt. 10.2. I think that we should clarify longer term goals. Which imho must be to not have zmd installed by default on openSUSE, as it causes problems and unnecessary complexity without adding functionality that the openSUSE users need. I'm curious if official people agree with this?
I'm not officially a person ;) but the sooner ZMD et al disappear from my systems the better. At the moment, zen-updater has lost my update sources and packman, so it doesn't go orange when updates are available. I didn't notice when this happened. I've given up caring, and I now no longer run it, ever! The update and packman repositories still show up fine (and work fine) in YaST and YOU, so I just try to remember to run YOU once every week or so to collect and install updates. Nice to have delta-rpms back :) I have the 10.2 Beta1 DVD burned and ready to install experimentally, which I hope to get round to tomorrow. I'll be interested to see how the opensuse-updater behaves. Well, I hope (could hardly be worse than zen-updater).
With zypper (cli) and opensuse-updater (updater applet) it is within grasp to not have zmd+friends on KDE installations.
That would indeed be excellent news. -- Bill Gallafent. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
