Better to use:
Command options: --from <alias|#|URI> Select packages from the specified repository.
Didn't I say
Of course you would also limit to the repo ....
Perhaps I should have been more explicit... As you have done.
With --from you don't need to specify individual packages to install, you only need specify the repo.
Now that strikes me as a high risk situation.
How can it be any more high risk then -f? If you want packages updated from a specific repo then you will know in advance that it will switch vendor and prompt you *before* proceding with the upgrade.
The normal 'zypper up' will tell you what its not going to install, but if I don't want most of those then I had damn well better specify the ONLY one(s) I do want. The "--force" does that, the "--from", as you point out, does not. It brings in things other than the one, the only one, I want.
No it doesn't. you can still specify an individual package if you so choose. zypper (as far back as I can remember) has always accepted a specific package name as the one to install. Have you ever used: zypper in --help zypper in <some_package_name> to get further help when using zypper? -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
