[opensuse] yum repos and zypper update
I'm wondering if anyone knows of an obvious reason "zypper update" would say there is nothing to do even when a newer version of a package has been added to a yum repo I have defined. Yes, I did a "zypper refresh" to force an update of the cache. And even more interesting, I can do a "zypper search whatever" and it shows me there is a newer "whatever" in the repo, it just doesn't think it needs to install it when I run an update. In a near identical repo constructed with similar new versions of "whatever"s a "yum update" on a fedora box happily downloads and installs the newer version. I'm sure there is something we don't understand about zypper and repo conventions, I just wish I knew what it was :-).

Zypper by default updates Patches, the regular method of our update delivery. Use: zypper update -t package to update just-package-updates updates. CIao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

zypper update, by default, only looks for patches, not for packages ... zypper list-updates -t package should give you more. Sebastian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
