because i think any suse user likes the second option, all the "enterprise specific" option should be develop but NOT ENABLED on OPENsuse.
Hi, This is really not about enterprise/SLE but about user's expectations. Right now libxine1 of packman is newer and so you expect the updater to switch to it. But what if libxine1 in KDE:Backports gets a newer version but without the codec support you expect. Would you still expect the updater to switch or would you prefer it to stay with packman's version? This is exactly the problem we're having: People expect that packages are updated from the repos they are registering - unless they want some other version. Now there is a "bootstrap" problem - if you register OpenOffice:STABLE you very likely plan to track it, but unless you switch your OOo packages to that repo, there is no way to do that. And switching to it is done with zypper easily: zypper dup -r repo-openOffice but there is currently no easy way to "trust" a repository vendor beside the manual options Martin already listed. Again: this has nothing to do with enterprise, but we have to decide for openSUSE if we want to get rid of the feature to stay with a vendor just because it's harder to explain.
