Probably stupidly, in console (ncurses) YaST 11.1 I have configured my
system to update automatically on a daily cycle.
However, neither in console YaST nor in the KDE Updater applet can I
view what zypper has been up to when it’s been running on its own.
Is there a log file somewhere I can go to see the output of updates
that were installed automatically for me so I can review what packages
were updated and/or changed?
Also, I am subscribing to the MonoDevelop “Preview” repository which
contains the latest SVN build of MonoDevelop which has built-in support
for live debugging and IDE breakpoints. Will YaST auto-update also
install these packages as well or do I manually have to force them to
update in YaST?
Cool, thanks. I still think this should be wishlisted for a future
enhancement to YaST/zypper… ideally an additional dialog accessible on
the suseupdater widget that pretty-prints this data.
As of right now, I have to be keely aware when any of a large number of
libraries get updated so I can check to see what bugs were/weren’t fixed
or new features added since (obviously) when you write software, you
usually depend on system libraries.
