+100. if not more.
I have TWENTY SIX repos configured in my desktop pc. All sorted into wellbehaving by giving them proper priorities. I just ran a live upgrade directly from 13.2 to Leap 42.2, skipping 42.1, no problems.
since im quite new perhaps you could confirm my understanding: the libblueray example appears to conflate installation with updating, as does the use of priorities. from UXI perspective for new and non-expert users, (understanding that repo "hygiene" often isnt that good). the 2 methods for UPDATING appear to be: 1 - use zypper dup --no-allow-vendor-change [the end] 2 - priorites: a) learn about the use of priorities and how packages are resolved. b) understand the contents of each repo. c) perform security checks at each update to ensure any OBS packages etc havnt added tainted security critical software. d) if one-click-install is used, understand everything in the new repo and go into system and change the priority for the new repo to the "correct one". e) "know" what is the correct presidence for many different repos. the number of different combinations is exponentially large and as such can never be prescribed. f) know what to do if 2 repos are non-orthogonal i.e. if you want one package from 1 repo but another package from a second repo and we should advocate number 2? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
