Contradiction in man: 2x default "Download and install mode option" #451

Closed mvdw closed 2 years ago

mvdw commented 2 years ago

When executing "man zypper", the text contains 2 "Download and install mode" options that both claim to be the default:

--download-in-advance
    First download all packages, then start installing. **This is the default.**

--download-in-heaps
    Download a minimal set of packages that can be installed without leaving the system in broken state, and install them. Then 
    download and install another heap until all are installed. This helps to keep the system in consistent state without the need to 
    download all packages in advance, which combines the advantages of --download-in-advance and --download-as-needed. 
    **This is the default mode.**

Which is correct?

--download-in-advance is the default.
