BTW what is the difference between 'zypper update' and 'zypper update
-t package?
'zypper update' == 'zypper update -t patch'
Meaning, the patch option pulls delta rpms? I saw some .delta.rpm
and .patch.rpm packages in Zypper's output so I'm asking :)
The .delta.rpm is a way to deliver patches.
When is used delta vs. rpm that can answer some of YaST/zypper guys.
This is from 'man zypper':
------------------------------
Package Management Commands
zypper works with several types of resource objects, called
resolvables. A resolvable is a package, patch, pattern,
language, or a product.
package - all RPM packages including patch and delta packages
patch - update of the packages, it can include special scripts and
messages
pattern - group of packages
language - group of packages with language support
product - group of packages, which are necessary to install a product
------------------------------
If so, that's great because, as I figured, that consumes less
bandwidth :)
Which one of these 2 commands is used by GNOME/KDE update
applet?
Whatever is for patches :-)
I experienced some package removal while I was playing with that applet
on Factory, so I was just asking :)
Removal will happen if package is listed for removal in rpm, but how it lands
in that list can answer some of guys that actually do packaging.
It will not install packages that doesn't meet dependencies.
All checks are done in advance as you will notice.
That's great, thanks!
In the last day or so I got a reply on the list, create a list of
packages you want to be locked, e.g.
# less /etc/zypp/locks
libmtp
amarok
libxine1
libxine1-devel
glabels
audacity
In my previous update without the locks file, some of the above packages
were removed, but weren't in my latest updates on 2 boxes.

Sid.
