Yeah, its manual, but this is such a seldom required use-case its silly to ask for a special new feature.
I have 4 or 5 packages in this circumstance. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

I mentioned that I had flash-player locked already.

This is actually a very common use-case in other operating systems and it should be even more so in linux distros. That people make do without it doesn't really say anything about it's usefulness. Take proprietary graphics drivers as an example. You read online that the new ATI driver has a problem with your card, and you don't want to risk upgrading to it. Just 'blacklist' it and you still get newer updates which may have fixed the issue you had with the previous one. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

That is one, yes.

Exactly. I have two or three packages blocked because the version in the update repo is nominally higher than the one in the kde stable repo that I used to upgrade kde to, so I can not accept they are "upgraded" again to another repo. It means change vendor! It should be a forbidden upgrade. Then I block flash. I also block pm-utils, because I'm experiencing crashes on hibernation restore and I'm trying to locate which version causes it. And the rest I don't remember, because zypper ll just says "opensuse-date" so I have no idea what update is that one: Telcontar:~ # zypper ll # | Name | Type | Repository - --+------------------------+---------+----------- 1 | udev-configure-printer | package | (any) 2 | kdebase4-openSUSE | patch | (any) 3 | dbus-1 | patch | (any) 4 | yast2-control-center | patch | (any) 5 | pm-utils | patch | (any) 6 | openSUSE-2012-262 | patch | (any) 7 | openSUSE-2012-208 | patch | (any) 8 | openSUSE-2012-229 | patch | (any) Telcontar:~ # The printer one is because I do not want printer hotplug. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
