What I want to do is using Packman in certain cases only, but not as my default vendor, which should remain openSuSE. Is this performed by one of the following instructions or by both?
zypper up --from Packman zypper up --allow-vendor-change
Or do I need "dup"?
you have used "dup" to change from <repo.name.here> to packman, and the packages you have now from packman will remain with packman unless you issue "--allow-vendor-change" and dup should no longer be required unless you preform a similar action specifying a repo other than were the packages are now living. now and forward, using "zypper up" currently assign repos should be respected and "-allow-vendor-change" should only be necessary if you want to install an existing package from a different (packman or ...) repo. once you install a package from a repo, that repo will be utilized forever or until you direct zypper to use a different one. imnsho, you probably will not ever need "dup" again for Leap. you might also look at "zypper lock" as a means of ensuring specific repos are respected. there may be packages or versions of packages or packages from specific repos which you desire or which you definitely do not want and locks can ensure that. good luck, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
