8. That’s it. Every time a new Ingres release is posted the repository it will be reommended for installation via upgrade. Determine if an update is available using zypper lu -t package.

Preventing upgrades

If you wish to keep the installed Ingres version at the current level it is possible to prevent updates. The file, /etc/zypp/locks contains a list of packages that zypper is to ignore. To ignore any Ingres update:

# echo ingres* >> /etc/zypp/locks
