How do I apply a lock in zypper to only use packman for a particular package/group of packages, libxine1-* ??
zypper al -r Packman -t package libxine1 does not work ???
This works, but it does quite the opposite - it ensures that libxine1 from Packman does not get onto your system. I.e. it can only be installed/updated from other repos than those you have locked. As Peter mentioned in the other mail in this thread, you should be fine with vendor locks (unless you use 'dup'). 'zypper up' won't change the vendor of an installed package.
...or to prevent every update from removing afga-fonts? :-(
That's where locks come in handy. Just do 'zypper al agfa-fonts', and they'll be safe. But note they will be protected also from update this way, in which case you need to do 'zypper in/up agfa-fonts' and you will be prompted to ignore the lock to proceed. -- cheers, jano Ján Kupec YaST team ---------------------------------------------------------(PGP)--- Key ID: 637EE901 Fingerprint: 93B9 C79B 2D20 51C3 800B E09B 8048 46A6 637E E901 ---------------------------------------------------------(IRC)--- Server: irc.freenode.net Nick: jniq Channels: #zypp #yast #suse #susecz ---------------------------------------------------------(EOF)---
