Re: [opensuse] yum repos and zypper update
Zypper by default updates Patches, the regular method of our update delivery.
Use: zypper update -t package to update just-package-updates updates.
By golly, that does work. I guess the next step is to investigate creating patches so things can be more automatic. Thanks! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Creating script myrepo that will contain necessary commands like 'su' to switch to root user, 'createrepo <options>' to refresh repository metadata, 'zypper refresh' to refresh zypper cashe and finally 'zypper update -t package' is probably way easier, or rpm -i <package_name> for single package. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

how are you going to pass roots password via script, clear text? Sounds secure.

might be better using roots crontab ? - -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn4472 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHKTJBClSjbQz1U5oRAkNBAJsHimBFusaCtNBz0oWdraDef2A7ogCdEkoc 4ZEt/VM3apB6IKpRD0GnAOs= =wqj2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

For the purpose, yes it would be better to run as cron job, or for the manual run leave out 'su' and run script as root. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
