your catalogs without confirmation.
If you instead want only to download the patches then select the patches for installation
at a later time, use rug up -dy. The up -dy option downloads the patches from
your catalogs without confirmation and saves them to the rug cache. The default location
of the rug cache is /var/cache/zmd.
9.1.6 Configuring rug
rug is customized through a set of preferences. Some of them are preconfigured during
installation. To list the preferences available, use rug get. To edit a preference, enter
rug set preference. For example, adjust settings if you need to update your
system through a proxy. Before downloading the updates, send your username and
password to the proxy server. To do so, use the commands:
rug set proxy-url url_path
rug set proxy-username name
rug set proxy-password password
Replace url_path with the name of your proxy server. Replace name with your
username. Replace password with your password.
9.1.7 For More Information
For more information about updating from the command line, enter rug --help or
see the rug(1) man page. The --help option is also available for all rug commands.
If, for example, you need help for rug update, enter rug update --help. For
examples and detailed information, see http://en.opensuse.org/Using_rug.
