Hi folks,

What is the best method to dist-upgrade only some packages?

My concrete case is that some Packman packages changed their vendor field. I'd like to dist-upgrade only these packages, i.e., to ignore the vendor change for them and to install/upgrade their dependencies if necessary. I do not want to do a full dist-upgrade to the whole Packman repository.

If I call "zypper update package ..." I have to manually declare that vendor change for each and every package in the list. It is not possible to pass package names to dist-upgrade which would do the Right Thing. But I do not want to change all packages to the Packman repositories, just these few.

Thus, how does one do that? This is on 11.1, btw. Thanks in advance for any answer,

Joachim

I have not used this option, maybe it would fill the need using zypper: --non-interactive, -n Do not ask anything, use default answers automatically. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
