thanks for the explaination, however, at least my zypper up also installs version updates from the repos I have added.
Those packages are patched ones. Did you look at man zypper? Quote: update (up) [options] [packagename] ... Update installed packages with patches or newer version, where applicable. To update individual packages, specify one or more package names. You can use the '*' and '?' wildcard characters in the package names to specify multiple packages matching the pattern. NOTE: Zypper prefers to update only those packages for which a patch description exists, like on the SUSE update servers. To operate on all packages for which there is a better version instead, select --type package which is also the default in rug compatibility mode.
what it doesn't do is changing repo for a installed package (which zypper dup does)
Zypper dup does not change repos AFAIK. Quote: dist-upgrade (dup) [options] Perform a distribution upgrade. This command performs an update of all packages with a special resolver algorithm which takes care of package splits, pattern and product updates, etc. (But repos can be changed with zypper, man zypper) Vahis -- "Sunrise 6:23am (EEST), sunset 8:13pm (EEST) at Espoo, Finland (13:49 hours daylight)" http://waxborg.servepics.com Linux 2.6.25.20-0.5-default #1 SMP 2009-08-14 01:48:11 +0200 x86_64 5:32pm up 13 days 22:54, 15 users, load average: 0.06, 0.12, 0.19 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
