are proud to be able to announce our new software management
giving the "I hate 10.1" game occuring now on suse-linux-e,
you have work ahead to convince some users :-(
In fact we are now able to manage more than packages only.
can we say that one of the results is to have an integrated
tool with updates and software install together? (as the
10.1 YOU seems to be)? If so this is a good news.
By integrating Novell's ZENworks technology we enriched our
distribution by a new command line tool called 'rug' and a daemon
called 'zmd' which are able to keep your system up-to-date. Also we
invented a new easy-to-use patch management user interface which is
called 'zen-updater'.
may be better not advertise this before all the bugs are
closed :-))
As these changes are also impacting the user experience regarding
package and patch management we'd very welcome to start a discussion
thread whether and how we still can further improve the current
toolchain.
in fact the less the user is impacted, the best. For me I
seems to notice that the starting of software install module
is faster (much faster) than with 10.0. If this is not only
a personal issue, it's great.
One question we have is how the new tools rug, zen-updater and zmd
compare to what we had before with YaST Online Update and
suseWatcher.
again, discussing this before the bugs are corrected is a no
issue.
* I can't use it because I needs to be root...
* YOU as root always shows new patches as need install even
if they have already been installed.
I beg these are know bugs, but they make the system unusable
and so untestable :-(
same for the "install with Yast" not working.
Yours questions are good, but need to wait till we can use
the system.
If I can make guesses from what I've seen, the only thing
that lacks is a mechanism to add automatically inst-sources.
One should be able to navigate to the server and clic "add".
then the command line tools.
there should be a very precise documentation on how to use
all the tools available. much more than what is available now.
Using "rpm" is already difficult. I have to use it any two
month (approx) and each time I have to RTFM at least 1/2hour...
May I also say that having 20-30Gb dedicated to a local
inst-source server will not be a problem in a very near
future, given the price fall of Hard drive storage, so a
silent, low priority, background daemon to keep such repo
uptodate would be a must.
