-> Repositories, chose the VLC repo and clicked upon the "Switch system packages" link, hardly visible in the black bar above the package list. oh, yes, didn't know this option.
I beg "system" is for "installed system", not "core system"?
I don't exactly understand neither what is the repo priority doing respective to changing repos: if I set vlc repo with a lower nice will it be pulled by zypper up? only for packages installed from "vlc repo".
priorities only make sense when more than one source exists and "zypper up" will not cross sources, ie: you do not need to use priorities in this particular case.
....and in any other cases where the name of the day of the week ends with the letter "y" and the moon is on the wane while being in the ascendency in the constellation Orion and just before low tide on the east coast of Iceland at the very exact time of the Summer Solstice. Or whichever comes first.....
Put simply: the whole damn thing is CONFUSING!
Aye. That's why I do not care about repo priorities :-). For me, it's enough to know that in my setup zypper does not pull across repos as long as solver.allowVendorChange = false. So, when a package moves e.g. from KDE:Release to KDE:Extras, it will still be updated, since in both cases the "Vendor" is KDE. But if a newer version of a KDE package is available on PackMan, this newer version will not be applied automatically, since PackMan != KDE.
