Hi all,

Thanks for trying it out. There are two possible reasons why its not working. First, it requires either the ZMD from factory or a patched ZMD. I recommend the zmd from factory as the patched one is buggy, but if any of you want it, please email me at narayannewtonATgmail.com and I will send it to you. Second, you need to set "remote-enabled" to true on ZMD. It will then work. The problem is that it communicated with ZMD via the tcp server at this point, which is by default off. We will have to using a unix sockets server, when support for that is added to ZMD. Thanks again for trying the updater.

Seems nice, but exactly same problem as Goddang described.

Looks nice, but it lacks one important feature. Something it has in common with all the other updaters for Suse, but a feature i think is very important in an updater. The ability to see why the update is needed, and what it fixes. A nice feature for instance mandrivas drakupdater has had for ages. When you select a package you can se a description of the update. This way you may stay better informed of what is actualy going on with the updates, rather than just knowing if you have the last update or not.

It looks great but I can’t seem to use it. If I try to add a repository. It says “We are adding a server to the updater, this may take long time. Please be patient”. And it just sits there. If I kill the app it won’t come back up again…
