So what is being done about it? The only thing I'm hearing so far is that there will be an update any time soon. What is soon?
Next week hopefully. We have a test repo online already and fixing the last critical bugs.
But you're right about the community thing. That's why I asked what is wrong with smart. But that's clarified now... Besides that, I really don't know what we can do about it in the community.
The one thing I can think of is a general discussion about package management for 10.2. I don't mean the technical implementation, because Novell has decided that zmd/rug is the solution. But the huge amount of different repository types, the way you must add additional repos.... For newbies (I've got some friends I convinced to try 10.1) it's way to difficult. That is something we think about in the community...
See opensuse-factory, where AJ started one...
Ok, I'll take a look...
On a side note: do you know if there are plans to develop a KDE native updater applet?
Yes. We even have found a student who wants to do it ;)

Btw, the previous YOU watcher just run a commandline program ("online_update")... It could be ported to just call "rug"... ;)
Ciao, Marcus
Thanks Marcus. Great to see this happening. I was becoming a little bit paranoid about the whole 'package management/gnome/kde' stuff. Am I correct to say that with the zmd/rug stuff you can actually push updates to machines? So it's not only polling for updates at the repository but a way to force this from a management console/gui thingy?
