Hello,
When I have two YAST repositories (e.g., SUSE's and Packman) and I want to get online updates from both, how do I configure that?
You are confusing "Online Update" offered only by SuSE with newer packages offered by third party repos. Go to Software Management and look for newer packages that will have the package in blue letters. Click on the installed version heading and scroll past the items shown in red (newer than offered by install media) to get to packages that have an update.
yast2 itself offers only one location to enter, so that cannot be used. (Anyhow, I want to call online_update differently than yast2 would do it: -s -d instead of -g.)
What you want to use is yast2 sw_single to update third party packages i.e. packman.
Do I call online_update twice, with different -u parameters? Does that work when both repositories have the same package (e.g., xmms)?
Thanks in advance for any answer,
Joachim
