KDE 3.5.3: Differences between Packages in "SUSE Factory" and "supplementary KDE"
I noticed that there are sometimes packages of the new KDE with different version info in the SUSE Factory and SUSE supplementary KDE repositories. I don't have a example at hand, but there were/are cases in which a packages from the factory repository are already several days old, but nevertheless has still a higher version number than even the most recent package from the KDE repository. Is this correct, or are there different versioning schemes for these repositories? Also the x86_64 packages of Amarok have quite some strange dependancies on 32 bit libraries, at least when I try to install them with smart. (I have dumped YaST for handling this stuff - the new package management is simply a pain.) And one last point: Are the KDE packages compiled with debug info? Never had to download so much megabytes for my KDE experience... But nevertheless, I'm glad that SUSE is still providing the newest KDE packages so fast! I was a bit disappointed when this Novell/Gnome stuff came up, good that KDE is still supported so gooD!

Hmm, the SUSE Factory is SUSE's beta distribution. The bleeding edge. Wouldn't it be better to post this on the opensuse-factory mailing list? ;) From http://en.opensuse.org/Communicate: opensuse-factory [mailto:opensuse-factory-subscribe@opensuse.org] Discussion about the Development Version of SUSE Linux. That includes the Factory Distribution [http://en.opensuse.org/Factory_Distribution] and alpha/beta versions. (Maybe your question would be (better) answered there) Cheers, Leen

Version or revision? Factory has always the same or never version, the revisions can be completely different as rebuilding of both differs.

Currently yes, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=180772 Bye, Steve

OK, thank you. That means SUSE factory is always the newest, bleediest edge, regardless of the revision. Answers all my questions and I'll go for SUSE factory....
