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?
well...I'd rather trust what the output of "zypper up" shows than the manual then (though it says "or newer version"). I built and packaged the rpm myself in my home project in the build service. "update (up) [options] [packagename] ... Update all or specified installed packages with newer versions, if possible." I'd say that you are not running factory?

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)
