First download all packages (keeping them on a special location), and after finishing the download, install them. that is called "transaction", I suspect that there is a good reason why it is not implemented the way you suggest. If there is a good reason, I would like to know which is it.
Me too. I must say I didn't figure what's the purpose of that approach. For instance, Yum also downloads all the packages first, then updates them. Since I'm still officially a Fedora user (I'll switch to openSUSE 10.3 over the weekend), I'm quite familiar with Yum. And the funny thing is that Fedora developers also don't like SmartPM very much.
than i just hope you dont run it on x86_64. if you do... you might want to add alias yum="yum --exclude=\*i586\*" to your shell rc file. otherwise you will get a lot of crap installed on your system. in regards of biarch support zypper/yast still beats smart and yum. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
