I run cooker on my laptop. It's no more time consuming than a stable
version to be honest. Best thing to do is to set up a cronjob as root
for the following command:
urpmi.update -a && urpmi --auto-select --auto
Set that up for once a day and let it do it's thing once you have set
the online sources. That keeps your system up to date every single day
and saves you from having to do it daily.
You should really add the '--keep' flag too as it will save you when the
mirrors get messed up...
It instructs Urpmi to keep packages that it would otherwise remove
because of missing/bad depencies when upgrading other packages...
In other words Urpmi wont upgrade packages unless it can do a full
upgrade and satisfy all depencies and not leave your system in a mixed
or broken state...
There have been times when "urpmi --auto-select --auto" would remove for
example the whole OpenOffice.org because another package needed a newer
library than OpenOffice.org was built against, leving you to wonder
"where did openoffice.org go ????"
so the line should be:
urpmi.update -a && urpmi --auto-select --auto --keep
