zypper lu only lists patches, not regular package upgrades like those from factory, for that you use: zypper lu -t package (package as opposed to patch which is the default option). > In general, I think there are to many programs for the same thing being > developed at the moment withing openSUSE: we have yast(you), zmd, > zypper, all of them using libzypp (so far very good) but still, all of > them failing in different places on libzypp bugs.

That work _is_ being concentrated right now by removing zmd+friends from default and focusing on yast+zypper+desktop-specific-updater applets+libzypp. That is also why I think you should support that process with testing and feedback, instead of clinging on to the dreaded zmd-stuff - even though zypper is presently a bit rough and libzypp is of course not blazingly fast. You should also see Duncan speak about libzypp at FOSDEM: http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/FOSDEM/2007/fosdem2007-17_Common_package_and_patch_management_for_SUSE_Linux-640.ogg And maybe have a look at some of the libzypp wiki pages: http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp_Ng/Speed http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp_NG --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
