(just a nitpick mostly)
Ok, I have asked this before, and no good answer came up. If they use the same engine, why there is a difference between:
1. zypper up -t package -t patch This is a strange, just one "-t" will be used I guess. No, both is used.
and
2. using yast, select upgrade all packages if newer version is available. This is the -t package mode.
The second one provides more packages (speaking about 11.0, I haven't tried with 11.1), and sometimes more conflicts.
Thank you. This makes my multi-tasking easier. Yast (on 10.3) insists on putting its "Updating ... " pop-up on all virtual desktops. A command line tool doesn't. Nor I suppose would the CUI version of Yast, but somehow I never made sense of it. IIRC, I used it way in the past, before Yast2 came out, but bitrot has set in in my memory.
Thank you, Jeffrey
