In the GUI version of the YaST2 package manager (sw_single), selecting a repository from the "Repositories" tab shows a "Switch system packages to the versions in this repository" command. This command is missing from the ncurses UI. (That is, if you select Filter->Repositories and select a repository, you get a table of packages from that repository, but no way of switching all packages to that repository.) Though switching packages can also be accomplished using zypper on the command line (zypper dup --from [repository]), it would help, for consistency's sake, if the ncurses package manager could also do this. This way, when writing instructions for people, it's not necessary to give two different vendor-switching workflows, depending on what UI they are using.
