so where did you decide that "zypper dup ... " was necessary or required?
you should not utilize "zypper dup" for Leap. Please read first. One should use 'dup' in this occasion. The 'dup --from ....." is necessary to make the vendor change for the Packman repo. Exactly what the "Switch system packages ...." item in YaST does.
he already did the "dup" from packman. it is not necessary to repeat. what did I not "read first"?
Problem is, sometimes a package changes and has to be installed from packman "instead".
You will need to explain that to me as it makes absolutely no sense.
Well, developers change their mind, don't ask me.
After using dup to apply from a *specific* repo, that repo becomes the current vendor and will be retained until it is directed to change.
Only for the packages that were switched that time.
If a package changes not from packman, it will be updated from the repo where it was previously taken.
Exactly.
If it needs to be from packman instead of that repo, it will require *specific* direction to do so.
No, you need to know or find out. Suppose package somevideothing. It is installed from oss repo. It is not available on packman. Then five months later, it appears in packman. Chances are, we need to switch that package to packman for some funcionality. The reverse also happens, a package disapears from packman and appears in "multimedia" repo.
AI is wonderful but frequently needs direction, it is not all-knowing, nor is zypper.
