HiHO...
Is it possible to give some details about the new Yast Online Update for suse 7.1? Quoting suse online zine: "For this purpose, suse makes all relevant patches and extensions available ..." - "relevant" regarding what is installed on the system, or general relevant for most users? how will this YOU works?
There is a new directory in the update area called "patches". There will be descriptions of every update, including the names of the relevant rpm-files (e.g. for libc there are more than one rpm you need to fix the problem), some flags and a short description. Then you can use the YaST2 frontend to connect to the ftp-server. It will fetch the "patch-files" and show you the description. Then you can let YaST2 install the update. Or you can choose the automated way and YaST2 will do everything without asking for any decisions. I think this is not too usefull for the most reading the list. (I think everybody here is able to use rpm and it's more important for the most on this list to get the information that there is a new update, than a solution to update your files easier. Autorpm is a nice solution to get informations about new files on the ftp-server, most times a bit earlier than the announcement). But it's a really good thing for all the newbies, who are used to click buttons :-) stephan -- t="\$_='for(\$i=-2;\$_=substr(\"2720ab25409d2500f82310a6272\",\$i+=2,3);) .~. /V\ [ s.martin@odn.de GnuPG: 0x7E30CD6D ] /( )\ ^ ~ ^ {\$_=\$i++%2?hex:oct;\$_=chr(\$_%(2**2*22));\$_=\$i?lc:{};print; }';s/\( +\)|[.\/V~^\\\]+| {2,}|\\[\s+.+\s+\\]//g;eval \$_;"&&echo $t|perl
