           Summary: provide non-oss repository for factory
           Product: openSUSE 10.2

          Platform: Other

I am currently trying to give 10.2 a bit more of of a daily-work-test on the
desktop to identify problems early. The problem is that there are some
applications in non-oss that are needed in daily desktop usage, such as
realplayer. I probably could use those from 10.1, at least for those packages
that are statically linked.

Still this approach has a couple of disadvantages, most importantly the fact
that Packages can break at any time, cannot be adjusted to factories needs and
can cause dependency problems of all kinds.

While testing Kubuntu I found it very helpful to have non-oss components
available during testing. I'd therefore ask to provide a factory-non-oss repo.
