Update method question
Jan 24th 2013, 15:40

Okay, so I have 12.2 installed and I've been using 'zypper dup' to do the updates, but I'm not sure now if that was the right way, maybe 'zypper up' is the right way ?
I don't have any problems, just wanting to know the proper way of doing things.
I have Apper disabled btw.

I have added two additional repos, one is Pacman (only because I don't know any other way to install XBMC, I don't need that repo otherwise) , second repo is for font smoothing (without it I really can't use openSuse)

Here are the repos obtained with 'zypper lr -d' :

Now, there were couple of vendor changes during 'zypper dup' while used, can't remember which ones and I don't know how to pull that info now (if that is important).

So, 'zypper up' or 'zypper dup' ?
Maybe another way to put it would be... let' say I do a fresh install of openSuse 12.2, which one should I use first ?
Also, after that initial update is done and I add additional repos after that, which one should I use from that point on ?
