[opensuse] zypper dup
All, I normally just update the security patches. Having read about "zypper dup", I just ran it expecting nothing of interest to be found. Instead, 44MB of updated software was headed my way. I assume all of it still for 11.0 since I have not intentionally added any factory or 11.1 RC1 repos. I do have a number of other repo's in my repo's list. (ie. packman, OO stable, etc.) So I assume these 44MB were packages that were updated on some of these non-official repos. Seems like a reasonable idea to keep my personal workstation current via zypper dup from time to time. What do other people do?

I use Yast instead, where I can easily browse the list of files to be updated. However, in the case of factory, I do use zypper dup a lot. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

zypper dup may replace packman and videolan versions with opensuse versions which will mess up your multimedia i.e. you may find that you can't play dvds with kaffiene. Try zypper -v dup and you will see where the packages are coming from and if you find things like xine or kaffeine from suse repos rather use yast where you have an element of control over what is upgraded. You can also try, if your packman repo is named packman for instance, zypper dup -r packman to only update to the latest packman.

'zypper dup' is basically 'zypper up -t package' without any constrains from your installed packages, i.e. no vendor check/ arch check/downgrade check. Thus, you should have a close eye on what it wants to do every time you run it.
