You can do just zypper dup, but you need to have the repo priorities in the right order. Then you can put packman as preferred over repo-oss.
In that case, if I prefer some other package from oss rather than the packman version, it will be replaced, contrary to my wishes.
very simple to add locks so that does not happer zypper al -r packman darktable zypper al -r packman -r repo-oss darktable
With 'up' and vendor stickiness, this does not happen.
and won't with the example locks locks added shame there isn't a lock for all-except
For Tumbleweed to increase usage footprint this needs to be addressed better. It no longer is a developer only platform, plain Joe Users are becoming interested in it, just because the having the last version of things appeals a lot to them.
Using locks and priorities can become somewhat complicated but is do-able. Originally using dup and after using up is also available, zypper -v dup -repo <new-repo> note: this provides a list and asks for confirmation if necessary, deny and add locks and do over after you are satisfied, use "zypper -v up" and you maintain your preferred repos w/o applying priorities.
