I'm on Tumbleweed.

Does zypper dup reload the current status of my repositories with newer packages, or do I have to run zypper ref first?

Or is that what the man page means by "auto-refresh", and in that case, how do I configure that?

The info I found online is conflicting. Wiki says zypper dup is enough, but it also says I get a notification about new packages, which I don't. I'm guessing that's only valid for Leap, but not sure about this either.

Thanks. Only 'zypper dup' is enough. It triggers the refresh of the repos.

The automatic refreshing option is enabled on a per-repository basis. You can check which repos on your system auto- refresh by listing the repos and looking at the associated 'refresh' flags. Looking at which repositories have auto- refresh enabled is also possible using yast if you prefer. Usually zypper dup is enough because the base repos have auto-refresh enabled by default, but I think if you add repos manually using zypper (e.g. zypper ar ...) then auto-refresh is not enabled. Best is to first check what the status is on your system and adjust accordingly. You can see that I have all my repositories listed as auto-refreshing below: $ zypper repos Repository priorities in effect: (See 'zypper lr -P' for details) 98 (raised priority) : 3 repositories 99 (default priority) : 19 repositories # | Alias | Name | Enabled | GPG Check | Refresh ---+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+---------+-----------+-------- 1 | code | Visual Studio Code | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes 2 | devel-scala | devel:languages:scala | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes 3 | download.opensuse.org-non-oss | Main Repository (NON-OSS) | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes 4 | download.opensuse.org-oss | Main Repository (OSS) | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes 5 | download.opensuse.org-tumbleweed | Main Update Repository | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes 6 | libdvdcss | libdvdcss repository | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes 7 | packman | Packman Repository | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes 8 | repo-debug | openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Debug | No | ---- | ---- 9 | repo-source | openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Source | No | ---- | ---- 10 | science | science | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes Cheers, Chris
