hmm...ok..so I won't be notified about updates from build service repos then!?
If I want to follow the latest KDE after 11.2 is released for example I have to manually check for updates using zypper up?
Personally I think it should offer all available updates. It doesn't make sense that I have make use of several tools to update my system, especially when there is the build service that builds against 11.2. If I add a repo, I want to be notifed about updates from the repo.
It's a very old discussion, which has been had many times before. In my mind it makes perfect sense - you use zypper patch/kupdateapplet/YOU to *fix* your system (patches). Most users expect updates suggested by the updater applet to be safe to install. And you use zypper up/yast2 sw_single to *break* your system (packman, OBS repos). (and 'zypper dup' to distupgrade your factory which is usually about 50/50 breakage and fixage) >:-) It might be desirable for experts that the applet has the (non-default) option to show all updates, like it did with zypp backend, but I don't think the packagekit backend supports that, not sure whether the zypp backend is still available in 11.2. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
