I love zypper. It just acts like I have a small portion of what I actually have installed. Similarly, there are things on the repos that zypper doesn't seem to be able to find. I'll open up Yast, look in the same repo, and right there is what I want.
Yesterday, I tried zypper up amsn. It told me that package wasn't installed. rpm called it a liar.
I forgot to mention that you need to have your repos correctly selected, and have their priorities (over others) set correctly.
zypper is not yet absolutely perfect.
zypper needs understanding. There is "update", there is "patch", there is "dup", and the meaning changed between 11.0 and 11.1.
Oh, there is also something called "aria2" which some people are rather fond of but I have never tried it.
Well, that cute thing is behing zypper ability to download from several servers at a time, bypasing problems with bad or stuck connections or mirrors. Not available for 11.0, experimental on 11.1 if you use an environment variable (ZYPP_ARIA2C=1), and perhaps used by default on 11.2
Right. Which means that we need to wait for the better developed of airia2 at some later date - or switch to smart? BC -- I work to live not live to work. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
