libzypp Command Line Interface

Currently, only rug provides a command line interface to libzypp.

This page tries to list the most wanted (or most hated :-) ) features a libzypp based cli implementation should (not) have. I.e. compared to rug, smart, whatever ...

Usability

The main thing I like in y2pmsh is that it's faster and snappier than

yast (ok the refreshing of the package sources still takes a bit too long, but that can be turned off) and doesn't try to open full screen windows.

I would actually prefer if it was only command line options, not interactive

commands, but both works for me.

What I don't like with rug is the always running daemon, the questionable security

concept and in general that it still has far more bugs than y2pmsh.

[edit]

Commands

source	define the sources on the command line
search	look for an package by substring
isc	basically yast -i ... without the full screen stuff and a bit faster.
upgrade	(rarely but i could do without that too)

back ...
