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 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,
