BTW what is the difference between 'zypper update' and 'zypper update -t package?
'zypper update' == 'zypper update -t patch'
Meaning, the patch option pulls delta rpms? I saw some .delta.rpm and .patch.rpm packages in Zypper's output so I'm asking :)
The .delta.rpm is a way to deliver patches. When is used delta vs. rpm that can answer some of YaST/zypper guys. This is from 'man zypper': ------------------------------ Package Management Commands zypper works with several types of resource objects, called resolvables. A resolvable is a package, patch, pattern, language, or a product. package - all RPM packages including patch and delta packages patch - update of the packages, it can include special scripts and messages pattern - group of packages language - group of packages with language support product - group of packages, which are necessary to install a product ------------------------------
If so, that's great because, as I figured, that consumes less bandwidth :)
Which one of these 2 commands is used by GNOME/KDE update applet?
Whatever is for patches :-)
I experienced some package removal while I was playing with that applet on Factory, so I was just asking :)
Removal will happen if package is listed for removal in rpm, but how it lands in that list can answer some of guys that actually do packaging.
It will not install packages that doesn't meet dependencies. All checks are done in advance as you will notice.
That's great, thanks!
