Hmm, how do you do your usual update tasks with say a dozen repos containing overlapping packages and be sure, that you get the most current ones?
zypper dup is the most useful zypper command, and I tend to believe, that for those who run zypper directly, it's the most frequently used one, too.
I normally use yast and cherrypick my updates one repo at a time. Cuz I want to know what I update, and where it comes from. But when I do use zypper, 'zypper up' should suffice, or in some extreme cases, like a major upgrade of KDE I'd do 'zypper dup --from <repo>' But I'd never ever do a straight 'zypper dup' unless I actually wanted to do a full distro-upgrade (except in the milestone testing phase, but then I wouldn't have many additional repos). And _if_ a time should come where I just wanted whatever package has the hightest version number, no matter where it comes from and how much repo-ping- pong there'd be etc., then I'd allow vendor change in zypp.conf, and just use 'zypper up' -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
