More types of solver requests
Use planned new libzypp API to:
- add several missing do advanced requests like 'install package from specified repo'
- have --from in all relevant commands
- make --force useful - define use-cases & implement
E.g. zypper up --from packman amarok could tell you There's an update candidate amarok-2.1 in packman, but won't be installed because of vendor change. Use --force to override
Unified package arguments
Accept the same format (kind:name-evr.arch) of package arguments in all commands which expect them. This includes command like install, remove, update, info.
Later
New Install Progress Reporting
Adapt to new progress reporting system in libzypp.
Evaluating
Info command rewrite
'zypper info' needs a major rewrite into something more useful. No firm plan here yet.
Terse output for machines
Zypper has XML output for machine consumption in several commands. For many use cases XML is not convenient. The terse output would be another type of machine-readable output:
- --terse global option to switch on the terse mode
- imply --quiet
- show only result that can be used by scripts (e.g. if the result is a table, show only the table, nothing else)
- show all tabular output without decoration, just values separated by some separator (can default to '\t' and can be specified in --terse maybe)
One example is already implemented - the 'versioncmp' command.
