<summary>Recommended update for libzypp, zypper</summary>
<description>This update for libzypp, zypper fixes the following issues:
- Disable zypp.conf:download.use_deltarpm by default
Measurements show that you don't benefit from using deltarpms
unless your network connection is very slow. That's why most
distributions even stop offering deltarpms. The default remains
unchanged on SUSE-15.6 and older.
- Make sure repo variables are evaluated in the right context
(bsc#1237044)
- Introducing MediaCurl2 a alternative HTTP backend.
This patch adds MediaCurl2 as a testbed for experimenting with a
more simple way to download files. Set ZYPP_CURL2=1 in the
environment to use it.
- Filesystem usrmerge must not be done in singletrans mode
(bsc#1236481, bsc#1189788)
- Commit will amend the backend in case the transaction would
perform a filesystem usrmerge.
- Workaround bsc#1216091 on Code16.
- Annonunce --root in commands not launching a Target
(bsc#1237044)
