Finally started to read the zypper man page after using it since 11.2. Is there a better place to get really acquainted with zypper? What I learned is that man pages are still not written for normal users. It is e.g. still not clear to me if zypper uses the repositories which I have chosen in Yast. Thought that there was somewhere a hint in that direction. Eager to learn more about zypper and how to find locations of repositories I even had a look at http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/URI That page has no content so what remains is the SuSE list before I start looking with google..
zypper and yast share the shame back-end for managing repos and packages. So anything you do in one effects the other aiui. As to finding repos, you mean at the remote end, right? If so: As an example. you can do zypper lr # to find your main repos, zypper lr <oss> <non-oss> <update> to drill down and verify that the repos point at the final 11.3 repos. If you then want to disable all except update, you could do: zypper mr --disable --all zypper mr --enable <update> HTH Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
