Re: Command line version of You
On Jul 25, Bob Vickers
Since upgrading to 10.1 I have found applying security updates has become an extremely hit-and-miss process which takes much longer than it did under SuSE 9.3. I would be very grateful if someone could answer two questions:
Hi, You might want to try the beta version of fou4s available from http://fou4s.gaugusch.at/ You need to use the "--nopatch" option to disable patch RPMs until you have installed the "rpm" update package which enables them. The final version will hopefully do this automatically ;)
(1) What is the simplest way of applying security updates from the command-line? Something equivalent to online_update security
fou4s -uis (fou4s --update --install --security) -- you only need to use --update once a day or so, it fetches the update descriptions. All other operations are local (except for downloading of course). Use the -v option to see update descriptions.
(2) How do you configure it to use a local mirror instead of the far-off Austrian mirror that the Setup process likes to configure? fou4s --server -w
