I propose to throw out "apper" because it still seems beta (and that for a long time). But above all because with "yast" there is a working alternative.
What I read from this thread: - people call everything PackageKit-related "apper" and thus nobody knows what piece of software they actually refer to. - nobody of the packagkit-zypp backend people seems to care and have a say about their effort between 12.1 and 12.2 concerning the backend improvements. - people do not want packagkit to block their use of zypper/yast, but are not willing to simply disable the blocking services, as one can do e.g. via KDE's systemsettings, in case one uses apper. Instead they want to have it removed from the distro. They are even willing to rename binaries etc. instead of simply disabling the service. - people claim that one can screw-up one's system using apper, although it does not even allow to change the vendor, which zypper does (by asking the user). - people think that normal users do the same mixing of zypper+packagkit- frontend as they do. Does packagekit block itself as well? Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
