Zypper has like 2 important actions (verbs) which are update and install, but they are not really disjunct and they do overlap. Apt has only two important verbs: update and upgrade. Update refreshed the repo/list, upgrade does what zypper update does. And then there is install, so you have three: update, upgrade and install.
Zypper has "refresh". You can disable automatic refresh of the repositories, and then order zypper to refresh them when you want. There are also update variants: patch, update, dup (distribution upgrade). install is different, it is used to install something that was not installed previously.
It works really well. The zypper manual (man page) is more like a compendium, not a quick reference guide.
There is an openSUSE book. Years ago it was actually a printed book; nowdays it is rather intended for a web browser. Have a look at doc.opensuse.org Man pages needs getting used to, when you come from Windows. I passed that phase, too ;-)
I know. Call it "zap" and make it fast ;D. "ze archive program".
"zap" is also a command debian doesn't know (if you type a command it knows about but which is not installed, it will instantly tell you what package it belongs to; rather helpful :)". "cnf" on the other hand takes about 5 seconds here to do the same task.
Disk lag, I believe. A second time it will be faster. cer@minas-tirith:~> time cnf zap The program 'zap' can be found in following packages: * dvb [ path: /usr/bin/zap, repository: zypp (openSUSE-13.1-1.10) ] * dvb [ path: /usr/bin/zap, repository: zypp (repo-oss) ] Try installing with: sudo zypper install dvb real 0m5.971s <============ user 0m1.173s sys 0m0.128s cer@minas-tirith:~> time cnf zap The program 'zap' can be found in following packages: * dvb [ path: /usr/bin/zap, repository: zypp (openSUSE-13.1-1.10) ] * dvb [ path: /usr/bin/zap, repository: zypp (repo-oss) ] Try installing with: sudo zypper install dvb real 0m1.219s <============ user 0m1.143s sys 0m0.072s cer@minas-tirith:~> - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
