Is there a way to get YaST to list available updates to third party programs like it does for every other program? It is slightly annoying to run the online update in YaST and it will tell me that there is no updates, then I go into Package > All Packages > Update if Newer Version is Available and it will have several updates listed.
You are confusing updates with upgrades. Yast Online Update will install all patches which are packages with a high priority, as security fixes & bugfixes to the base supported system. Any repository provider can in theory mark packages as packages although currently none do. If you want to upgrade packages to newer versions, potentially moving away from the versions which are supported by suse, which is inadvisable when not required, you can use the update if newer version is available option. The same applies with zypper, "zypper up" will install security & bugfix updates that you should install. If you want to upgrade to potentially unsupported package versions you can "zypper up -t package" _ Benjamin Weber -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
