Hi, can one enligthen me which GUI software supports 'zypper dup' for updating Tumbleweed?
- YaST-online Update? - plasma-pk-updates? (Does not look like, I mailed the author some 4 month ago but never got a reply)
I do not know what plasma-pk-updates is. If as name suggests it calls PackageKit - PackageKit zypper plugin knows to use equivalent of "zypper dup" on Tumbleweed. I have two Tumbleweed VMs - with GNOME and KDE - and both are using whatever default native software/update programs are installed. Both call PK at the end. Both work. The difference is - zypper offers better interactive problem resolution possibilities, while PK frontends will probably fail right away. I cannot recall this though recently. So in my experience PackageKit is pretty usable on TW, but there may be occasional need to use "zypper dup" to manually resolve dependency issues.
Anything else?
Thanks Axel
