Hi!

What do you think about an idea to add some third-party repos (Nvidia, Adobe, Google) to the proposed repositories in Yast the same way as Education and other community repos are included?

For a user it may be difficult to find the location of such repositories and I suppose some even do not know that they exist.

Google might make sense, but I would prefer to get their permission first. NVidia is already there. What free software would the adobe repo give us that isn't already packaged in the non-oss repo? -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Not free software, only binaries: Adobe reader.

Adobe reader is free, it is not open-source. And it is already packaged in the non-oss repo, which is why I was asking about software that is not already pacakged in the non-oss repo. Adding this repo would only help users if it provides software that is not already available from existing repos (which is the case with the google repo). -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I guess they don't let you do it. But would be nice if somebody could clarify it.

The benefit about an own google repo would be to slightly fix their post install scripts to avoid these annoying things they are always doing:  - running cron.daily and at daemon jobs to add google repos by default  - starting atd if it's not running

I've bug reported these things long time ago to google but no response ...

The bad thing is their license says: "11.1 [...] You agree to receive such updates (and permit Google to deliver these to you) as part of your use of the Services." http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_text.html

That's why I think they don't let you "fix" that.

I don't think the idea is to include our own google repo, but rather to allow users to enable the official google repo using the "commity repositories" interface. I agree that having our own would be even better, but I also agree that this would almost certainly not be allowed. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I have a weekly cron job deleting that cronjob. No need to re-add a repo that is already added, that's stupid. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
