Since the 2 are aimed at different use scenarios, maybe you are making this harder than NOW is necessary. The developers do realize there are problems. That is why they created opensuseupdater. Try it, you'll like it. It is much more lightweight than zen-updater, only trying to notify the user of security updates. Zen-updater is designed to notify of an update in every configured repository. Which do you think would need more resources? Add to that load the fact that it isn't just a matter of seeing something newer, but making sure it isn't a rogue package by verifying the gpg signature. That is why IMHO zen-updater is doomed by design. I would suggest trying the product you mention in your subject.
Before you dump all over Robert, bear in mind that the software that sits in the tray does not report its name, other than to say its the software updater. Is that the zen updater or the opensuse updater?
And where does one get the opensuseupdator? Its not listed in my menuing system.
Thanks John, you said exactly what was on my mind. I recommend SUSE to all my friends and help them with their computers so I am just looking for encouragement that the base factory distribution in the future will be as robust or better than before. I would like to hear a response to your question as well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
