Description Francis Giannaros 2007-02-27 10:20:40 UTC

A 'reinstall' option should be standard for any package manager; since removing, then installing, isn't ideal a lot of the time (i.e. when it removes a zillion depends). I know you can use zypper sh in this scenario, but the basic CLI options should have it too, I think.

Jano is taking over as the primary maintainer of zypper, I am a co-maintainer.
