Hello SuSE people,
Running 10.3, KDE3 on a 64 bit system.
I have always used Smart and Apt before that for many years. Lately Smart has been trying to download i586 packages to me. So I figured I would use Yast Online Update and give it a try.
It did it's thing refreshing, caching, etc. etc. then dumped me into what looks like the Software Management screen. Can't figure out what to do from there. I see some packages are marked in red. Looks like they are the ones to be upgraded. Must I go through all of the different package groups, patches, etc and mark each one individualy for upgrade? Is there not some way to say OK, upgrade everything you found?
Sorry, I forgot the detail of "software management" updates. If you want to update all packages on your system to the latest version contained on the repositories you have added, then for 11.0: yast -> software management -> Package -> All Packages -> update if newer version available The available versions of packages are determined by the repositories you have added. Use webpin to find the repositories that hold the latest version of a specific package you are interested in and then add that repo and go through the update steps to pull in the latest version of the package. webpin is in the: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools/openSUSE_11.0 repository See my note about rare, but possible, dependency conflicts in my first reply... -- David C.
