feature to show not installed packages removed
Last modified: 2015-01-07 18:45:06 EST
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17-14 i586) I have updated to 2.5.3-1 Before this version I have option to see all available packages, not only the installed packages . This feature is very good, sometimes we need to install a package that are not installed and is good to install the latest version. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.up2date --configure 2.up2date --showall 3. Actual Results: The option to get all packages are removed. If I try to use the --showall on command line, the list is displayed in the console and program stops. Expected Results: When using the --showall the program must have the old behaviour and show all packages and permit the installation.
you may install any package or package(s) individually by passing them on the command line, regardless of whether or not they are installed. The old method was simply too resource-intensive (all headers had to be downloaded). Now, you can: up2date --showall and then pick some packages. To install them: up2date <uninst-packagename1> <uninst-packagename2> It will work.
The old behaviour can be an option, because with the old behaviur I can know what is a package looking at the info. With this new format I get only the package name.
