and that's wrong. TW should *only* be updated through 'zypper dup'. Nothing else.
That is so.
but why? tumbleweed repos are like every other repos.
Format wise yes, content wise no. The TW repo from today may contain completely different packages than the one from yesterday. The packages from todays repo are built using the other packages from todays repo.
hmm, ok. understood. but i think this should be stated somewhere more prominent. not like "it is best to do zypper dup", but more like "there may be unresolved/unshown/hidden package dependencies in the future, so you MUST use zypper dup at the moment you move to tumbleweed repos!"
Yes, this is true.
As long as not all upstreams provide correctly versioned libraries, zypper dup is required before installing any new software.
ok, this means, in the future, whenever i try to update a single package, and it again fails, then i have to disable all the other repos, so that only the tumbleweed repos are valid any more, and then do a "zypper dup" to resolve the "unknown" issue. this will, of course, downgrade ALL the packages from other repos, where packages from tumblewwed repos are older, and these have to be upgraded then again afterwards....
very very expensive...... :-(
No, you do not need to disable other repos, but it is best not to use them, specially if the packages you want are available on TW main repos (oss, non-oss, and update) You simply have to run "zypper dup" periodically. Often. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
