Fast OnlineUpdate is an alternative to YOU by SuSE, providing a faster online update experience.
"Fast OnlineUpdate for SuSE" is a software tool that has been designed to replace SuSE's Yast OnlineUpdate (YOU). It provides a complete and lightweight alternative for updating SuSE Linux systems. One of its key features is its speed and reliability, ensuring that updates can be performed quickly and efficiently.
The software supports SuSE Linux versions 8.1 to 10.0, as well as most SuSE business products, making it a versatile tool for managing updates across different machines. It has also been designed to work in cron jobs, ensuring that updates can be scheduled and automated as required.
For users who prefer more control, the software also offers an interactive mode, which allows for full control over the update process. Additionally, it is possible to perform network-wide updates from the same update directory, even across different SuSE versions.
Other notable features of the software include support for non-YOU RPMs, such as packman or supplementary updates for KDE, Gnome, and Mozilla. It also has a built-in FTP server benchmarking tool, proxy support, and automatic resuming of downloads.
For those managing multiple SuSE machines, "Fast OnlineUpdate for SuSE" offers the ability to import and export machine data and packages, as well as remote host checking, even if the software is not installed on the remote machine. Furthermore, the software includes filtering capabilities for installing only security updates or skipping optional packages.
After an update is finished, SuSEconfig is called, although this can be turned off if desired. The software also warns users if processes are accessing deleted files, which could indicate that an update is incomplete. Finally, additional RPMs can be installed from the update directory, and the software supports the new patch.rpm updates for SuSE 8.0 and higher.
The latest release of "Fast OnlineUpdate for SuSE" offers support for SuSE 10.1, although it is noted that this is an early beta release. It is not recommended to use this version with older SuSE versions as it may be unable to update itself.
