Hi, all --
What's the preferred/right/best/easiest way to install & update software on my Leap system? I grew up on YaST (and then YaST2), but I keep seeing folks using zypper, and there are even occasional comments about apt. My goal is simply to be able to find the most software the most easily and reliably, since it's already challenging enough to know which RPM repositories and archives to search...
The easiest is for sure the system that you're used to :) I've always used the command line versions, including smart and apt4rpm, on my (open)SuSE installations. They give you the full set of options (at the price of quite some learning curve). IMHO the reliability and especially stability when using multiple repositories has increase permanently, and the current zypper is the most robust thing I've seen so far. Yes, apt is (sometimes much) faster, but I did (and do) have unresolvable situations with multiple 3rd party repos. Your mileage might vary, I'll stay with zypper. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
