Not running Factory yet myself. But Zmd+friends is being removed from

default installation. You should use zypper.

# zypper up -t package

or YaST sw_single -> Package -> All packages -> Update if a newer version is available.

Assuming libzypp is in a useful state, it appears to be under heavy development.

I've heard that zmd is being removed from the default set. But up to now, I'm not happy yet with zypper and I stay fully behind zmd/rug/zen-updater. And honestly, I don't see many problems with it anymore. And the personal feeling of speed is better than with zypper. Of course it's because zmd is running as a daemon and takes care of the catalogs in background (which, maybe, could be a bit 'more backgrounded' -> renice) zypper always does everything when I give it an order. oh.. and zypper lu for some strange reasons shows no updates to be done on my installation; if I do rug lu, I see a bunch of updates. funny, zypper in can install them too.. so it knows about the catalogs :-) So probably also not the oh-wonder-it-s-magic tool (yet) In general, I think there are to many programs for the same thing being developed at the moment withing openSUSE: we have yast(you), zmd, zypper, all of them using libzypp (so far very good) but still, all of them failing in different places on libzypp bugs. (so not all use libzypp the same way). This work should be concentrated to one big stream... THAT would probably give the best package manager ever.

If you're doing multiple operations you can avoid the metadata refreshing and parsing each time by using zypper sh (like smart --shell). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
