so where did you decide that "zypper dup ... " was necessary or required?
you should not utilize "zypper dup" for Leap. Please read first. One should use 'dup' in this occasion. The 'dup --from ....." is necessary to make the vendor change for the Packman repo. Exactlywhat the "Switch system packages ...." item in YaST does.
he has *already* done the "zypper dup", no reason to continue as indicated. *Please* *read* *first*.
I have not argued that the "dup --from *repo*" was not necessary but the "--allow-vendor-change" is not necessary as the repo has been *specified*. Please read first, as you have indicated.
If I have understood you well,
zypper dup --from Packman zypper up --allow-vendor-change
are equivalent, and
When a vendor is specified as above, packman, you have told zypper that you desire a vendor change if it is necessary, so the answer is yes.
zypper dup --from Packman --allow-vendor-change
is a pleonasm. Am I right?
yes
and the comment about using "dup" on Leap is that in this case it was only necessary to direct zypper to use packages from packman for this instance. After, packman is the present "vendor" and should remain so until you direct a change, ie: "dup" is no longer required.
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"?
and I use too many words, but others will say I don't read/comprehend :)
A native speaker like you (I suppose) never uses too many words for explaining something to a dumb German. Bye, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
