Bnc#732027 reveals a flaw in

zypper addlock --repo <repo> ...

This command will lock all matching packages in <repo>, i.e. prevent them
from
being installed.

I wonder how this is different from "disable repo" ?


But in addition to this (or instead of) you may want to lock already
installed
packages originating from this repo as well. I suppose this is the more
interesting usecase, and I'm think this should be the default for --repo.

So what about adding 2 new addlock options:

addlock --repo locks in repo and installed from repo
++ addlock --from-repo locks installed from repo
++ addlock --repo-only locks in repo

I don't see a sane way to implement "--from-repo".

Agreed, there's no way to find the originating repo from the
information in the rpm database.

zypper could do it by itself from the information stored in the
history log.
