I'll offer my two cents.
First, note that I gave the packman repo priority 98, and the standard repos priority 99. I want it to prefer packman, where there is a choice.
Recently, I have been using:
zypper up zypper dup -D
The first of those does what should be a safe update. The second tells me what else "zypper dup" would do. The differences are typically small and probably don't matter for what I mostly do.
At present, I am testing a bug fix (which doesn't fully fix the bug). A "zypper dup" would uninstall that bug fix that I am testing. I prefer to keep it there for the present, which is why I am using "up".
After the "zypper dup -D" (that's a "dry run"), I will sometimes manually do some of the additional changes. I do that with Yast software manager and the "versions" tab.
Ever look into "locks"? They are quite handy. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
