hmm...ok..so I won't be notified about updates from build service repos then!?
If I want to follow the latest KDE after 11.2 is released for example I have to manually check for updates using zypper up?
Personally I think it should offer all available updates. It doesn't make sense that I have make use of several tools to update my system, especially when there is the build service that builds against 11.2. If I add a repo, I want to be notifed about updates from the repo.
It's a very old discussion, which has been had many times before.
In my mind it makes perfect sense - you use zypper
to *fix* your system (patches). Most users expect updates suggested by the updater applet to be safe to install.
And you use zypper up/yast2 sw_single to *break* your system (packman, OBS repos).
(and 'zypper dup' to distupgrade your factory which is usually about 50/50 breakage and fixage) >:-)
It might be desirable for experts that the applet has the (non-default) option to show all updates, like it did with zypp backend, but I don't think

packagekit backend supports that, not sure whether the zypp backend is still available in 11.2.
yes I know it has been discussed before, though I don't think it's very clear how it works for the enduser. if a user is capable enough to add a repository he might also expect to be offered updates for it. on the other hand he might then also be capable of starting a terminal and doing zypper up. in my scenario where I "helped" someone to add a repo for openSUSE, I have to explain that "don't forget to manually check for updates every week/month". but if this is the wanted behaviour, like you say, maybe a checkbox in the updater to be able to get all updates with the explanation the this might break your system. per -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
