This should be suitable for

 zypper dup --repo foo  (or        --name foo)

i thought 'dup' was to be across all enabled repos ... i'm unclear as to how 'dup' restricted to a given repo is, then, different than 'up' restricted to a particular repo.

can you perhaps clarify use case?

The main difference between 'dup' and 'up' is that 'dup' does not consider the installed packages version or vendor. Dup performs as if you were doing a fresh installation. The installed system just defines the amount of packages, but the packages origin is mostly determined by the repository priorities. Thus 'dup' is allowed to downgrade and change vendor. While 'up' just looks for newer versions and tries to stay with the installed vendor. Unfortunately Michael (mls) is on vacation, maybe he'd be able to explain better. If you e.g. decide to follow some development repo, you usually want to replace your installed packages with versions from that repo. You could assign a high priority to that repo and perform a plain 'zypper dup', but this might change much more than you actually want. And unlike zyppers current '--repo' implementation, which AFAIK just disables all other repos (Jano may correct me), the other repos say visible and the solver may use them to resolve dependencies. -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres YaST Development ma@novell.com SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany, ++49 (0)911 - 740 53-0 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org

Can you explain how is this different from not loading the unwanted repos? I suppose in that it still can satisfy some deps from the other repos if needed?

Yes. Michael (mls) mentioned this in several bugreports that this approach should give better results. -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres YaST Development ma@novell.com SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany, ++49 (0)911 - 740 53-0 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
