http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1061384 Bug ID: 1061384 Summary: [tw] Add warning to zypper on zypper up if there are 'product updates' Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp Assignee: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: dimstar@opensuse.org QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- A very common error on openSUSE Tumbleweed is that users keep on running 'zypper up' and then are surprised when things fail. The only valid way to keep TW up-to-date is 'zypper dup' I'd like to propose to have an extra warning (should be scary enough for the user) In order to not have it 'too TW specific', I'd propose to check if there is 'a product update' included in the list of updates to do: if so, then 'up' is the wrong command to use This info should be available to zypp already, as z "zypper up" contains, for example: The following product is going to be upgraded: "openSUSE Tumbleweed" So: there is 'any product' to be upgraded, so 'dup' must be used -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
