AFAIK, it will not limit itself to only "dup" the packages in one repo. It will do all of the active repos.
That is correct *but*, the only updates performed will be to newer packages which will NEVER be in the OSS and non-OSS repos.
How do you define "newer"? By date? By version? Notice that if you have, say, version 2 of something, one of the repos with a higher priority has version 1, and you run a dup, it will _downgrade_ your something to version 1. This is intentional.
And the repo with the updates has to have a higher priority in order to be considered by dup. Using zypper dup is _not_ dangerous if you know what you are doing.
So, if you only have the OSS, non-OSS and update repos configured you will revert back to only the packages in those repos. dup gives preferential treatment to the repos with the higher priority.
Yes, that's true and that's what I said. But the moment you put extra repos, like gnome and who knows what, things get really complicated to predict - except if you know zypper internals, which I don't. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
