Is there a way to get a package description of the available packages through urpmi?
I swear I was able to do so, but dont recall how to do it now. :/
On a side note, anyone have any thoughts on whether 9.1 or 9.2 is better suited for production right now?

You can also install urpmc ('urpmi urpmc'). Then after you update your sources, simply typing 'urpmc' will list all the available updates (with version numbers) from all sources. EG, tom # urpmc club uses a synthesis file. Cannot output changelog. Will list package names only. Reconfigure the medium to use a hdlist file to get a changelog. kernel-source-2.4.22-21mdk -> kernel-source-2.4.22-25mdk
Even ones you may have in your /etc/urpmi/skip.list (I have kernel-source in my skiplist). Suggestion, use 'synthesis.hdlist's for your sources, otherwise the list will also include changelog, and could be very long. I get " Cannot output changelog." because I only use synthesis.hdlist's. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas
