Hello everybody, First a bit on my background: I've been running openSUSE for a year, and switched almost exclusively (have a 12.2 chroot that I only had to use once) to Factory on my home system for about 2 months now (too brave? until now it worked great). The plan was to run the lastest software, help by reporting bugs, learn more about packaging and OBS and maybe try to help with some SRs. So far this has worked great, I did all of the above except reporting bugs (I'm only affected by one that I'll report soon). I do zypper dup every day, sometimes it complains about problems. If that happens I cancel the update and try again the next day, usually in at most a few days it gets into an upgradable state again. However, it's been a while since I get: Problem: marble-4.8.5-1.7.x86_64 requires marble-data = 4.8.5, but this requirement cannot be provided Looking at this, it seems plasma-addons stayed at 4.8.5 and it requires marble-4.8.5 which is gone. Why did plasma-addons stay at 4.8.5? Because SR [1] was declined by somebody in the legal team. The decline reason points to [2] where I get: You are not authorized to access bug #779736. That's not very nice, I'm now completely in the dark as to why plasma-addons wasn't upgraded and how long will it keep blocking the rest of my upgrade. I understand that the legal issues might be sensitive but I have a feeling this time they're not and I think it's bad to split the community into SUSE employees that can see everything and "the rest". Exactly at this point I want to postpone the upgrade anyway until the Xorg and Mesa issues Coolo pointed out get fixed (thanks for that by the way! very important for people testing day to day to avoid major breakage if it's already known) but the principle remains: everybody should be able to see why a SR got rejected to know what can be done about it to move forward. To summarize: * having some bugs available just to SUSE employees is in my opinion bad * what should happen to plasma-addons so that it gets upgraded to 4.9.1? * am I doing things correctly to stay on top of Factory? are others doing the same? is Factory meant to be used day to day if you have some troubleshooting and system recovery skills? * thanks for a great distribution, and a very stable development version of it, keep up the good work!
