You reasoning for why a new (do you mean newly added or what?)
yes, newly added
That makes no sense.
repository should have a lower priority makes no sense.
I mean specially for packman. there are duplicate packages in standard repos and in packman and I want packman ones
That makes no sense.
Like others here I use Darktable and like many other I make use of the Toganm_Photography repository. The owner pulls and complies the latest updates daily. So far he's ALWAYS more up to date than the openSuse repositories. So far. But if the openSuse one are ever more up to date then I want THAT one and no his!
I suspect you are in the same situation with packman, you want the most up to date, regardless of whether its in the main repo or the packman repo.
Now if you have both at the same priority you will always get the more recent one. Unless, and I admit its unlikely, just as its unlikely that the main repo will have the most up to date version of Darktable, the main repo has a more up to date version of something than packman's repo, wouldn't you want that? Isn't the whole point of these alternate repos to get either stuff that isn't in the main repo (in which case differential priority doesn't matter) or the most up to date version?
Not if the "more to date" one is crippled due to legal reasons. Packman is probably "special" in that the repo provides packages that are not crippled in which case I DO NOT want the newer crippled one. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
