[OpenSUSE Tumbleweed] Updates and Dependency Hell
(discuss.tchncs.de)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Configuring the priority of the repository.
In OpenSuse, the priority of a repository is a value between 1 and 200, with 1 being the highest priority and 200 the lowest priority. If a package is available in more than one repository, then the repository with the highest priority takes precedence. Default is 99.
This is how I do via terminal:
List enabled repositories in priority order:
zypper lr -PE
In my case, the repo I want to change is:
4 | home_paul4us | home:paul4us | Yes | (r ) Yes | No | 99
(First column is the ID and last is PRIORITY)
Lower the 3rd party repo priority (set PRIORITY of the repository with ID 4 the value of 100):
sudo zypper mr -p 100 4
You will see the message:
Repository 'home_paul4us' priority has been set to 100.
Bonus
If you want to list what is installed from this repo (id 4):
zypper se -i -r 4
Wow, thats really elaborate. Thanks so much!
