Better to use:

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. 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. Jon talked about "induced things", what I termed 'unintended side effects'. Using "--from" is a sure way to 'induce' other things to be installed. -- People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. . . The leader works in the open, and the boss in covert.
