Yes, you do :-)
There are two main "rules": the priority level you give each repo, and if the possible update is in a different repo implying a vendor change (meaning, that once you choose a package from a certain repo, it will not change to a newer version on another repo).
Well if the priority level of each repo is set by default relative to the order in which they are added, and so was randomly set to the order in which I first discovered the existence of each repo, then I'll concede that I inadvertently may have set that rule... ;-)
In which case, how would I go about assigning a different priority level?
zypper --help zypper mr --help zypper mr -p <some number> <repo>
But as far as the existence of some rule that would cause "zypper up" to change vendor in spite of how man zypper implies that it won't, that rule would have been set by some default value, as the only way I could be said to have set it would be by the omission of any action to set it explicitly...
How does one set a rule to allow zypper up to change vendor?
edit /etc/zypp/zypp.conf change # solver.allowVendorChange = false
And would that allow it to change vendor on download error such as a bad checksum on the current vendor's copy of a package that is also available in another enabled repo?
no *Most* of this is discoverable by using the included docs and/or perusing the config files of the concerned apps. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
