Hello list members,
Minor point and a bit related to the "YOU should ignore updates" thread I
guess...
How does one get YOU to ignore / not display updates for software not
installed on a machine?
Does it in fact matter? For instance if YOU implements the -f (freshen)
option to rpm, then only those installed packages will be updated, as I
understand it.
Consider, for example, that I do not have programme XYZ installed but when
I check YOU I see an update for it, as well as updates for software that I
*do* have installed.
In my comparative ignorance of RPM working no doubt due to a mis-spent
youth involved in Debian and apt-get'ting, I have been selecting manually
those updates that I need and applying them. It would be time-saving,
neater visually as well as simpler cognitively to simply not see the
unnecessary updates in the "available updates" list.
Googling for an answer and checking Novell / SuSE FAQs has not yet proven
fruitful. Probably a poor choice of key words??
Thanks in advance,
Denis
