Description:

This update for libzypp, zypper fixes the following issues:

libzypp:

  • appdata plugin: Pass path to the repodata/ directory inside the cache (bsc#1197684)
  • zypp-rpm: flush rpm script output buffer before sending endOfScriptTag
  • PluginRepoverification: initial version hooked into repo::Downloader and repo refresh
  • Immediately start monitoring the download.transfer_timeout. Do not wait until the first data arrived (bsc#1199042)
  • singletrans: no dry-run commit if doing just download-only
  • Work around cases where sat repo.start points to an invalid solvable. May happen if (wrong arch) solvables were removed at the beginning of the repo.
  • Fix misplaced #endif SINGLE_RPMTRANS_AS_DEFAULT_FOR_ZYPPER

zypper:

  • Basic JobReport for "cmdout/monitor"
  • versioncmp: if verbose, also print the edition 'parts' which are compared
  • Make sure MediaAccess is closed on exception (bsc#1194550)
  • Display plus-content hint conditionally
  • Honor the NO_COLOR environment variable when auto-detecting whether to use color
  • Define table columns which should be sorted natural [case insensitive]
  • lr/ls: Use highlight color on name and alias as well
