That's fine, but I'm curious, what packages are they?
Mostly related to KDE, as said before. I don't get at the spare computer now, but here are a few examples that I remembered:
NetworkManager-kde4 | 0.9.0.10-2.1 | noarch | Tumbleweed NetworkManager-kde4 | 0.9.0.10-2.8.1 | noarch | openSUSE-current-Update-OSS yast2-qt-branding-openSUSE | 13.1-2.2 | noarch | Tumbleweed yast2-qt-branding-openSUSE | 13.1-10.4.13 | noarch | openSUSE-current OSS wallpaper-branding-openSUSE | 13.1-2.2 | noarch | Tumbleweed wallpaper-branding-openSUSE | 13.1-10.4.13 | noarch | openSUSE-current OSS kdm-branding-openSUSE | 13.1-2.1 | noarch | Tumbleweed kdm-branding-openSUSE | 13.1-10.4.13 | noarch | openSUSE-current OSS kwin | 4.11.6-2.5 | i586 | Tumbleweed kwin | 4.11.6-107.1 | i586 | openSUSE-current-Update-OSS
No, again, never mess with priorities, that way lies madness.
See above. You can install these packages from Tumbleweed manually, but without giving Tumbleweed higher priority, they will revert to the base repos on the next update. So again, you'd need to bump the build numbers the way the update repos do (only for KDE apparently) or else leave out these packages from Tumbleweed if they're supposed to be delivered from the base repos.
No, it's fine, as they came from the kde repos, and as you point out, will eventually catch up and start being used :)
Tumbleweed rebuilds a lot more often, so in some cases Tumbleweed will soon overtake the base repos and then "Zypper dup" would switch the provider. I've still not figured out why it does that many rebuilds, but now that KDE is in again that's about 700GB downloads every few days.
Lots of things cause it to rebuild, that's just the crazy dependancy chain we have. I err on the side of being cautious and rebuilding whenever the build system thinks it needs to.
This totally works for me, but the potential Tumbleweed user base would be broader if that wasn't happening.
Really, what do you base that statement on? Do you, or anyone else, even know what the current Tumbleweed user base is? Does it even matter? :) thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
