----- Forwarded message from sda <dmitry.serpokryl@gmail.com> ----- hi, i've got a simple suggestion how to improve the quality of openSUSE distribition in general: let's create a single "Drivers" project, link there all "SUBJ-kmp-*" packages lying around and add an "UPDATE" OBS repos for all supported versions (10.3-11.0-11.1 currently) to that "Drivers" project along with the standard ones. a User then will be sure that the next kernel update won't break the currently working system. it'd be really great if ATI/NVIDIA drivers also stick to that simple rule. right now for example the maintainers of an "AUDIO" project: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/audio:/KMP/ are very kind (huge thanks!) to provide "openSUSE_10.3_Update", "openSUSE_11.0_Update" and "openSUSE_11.1_Update" packages, but it's a bit tricky to understand that: 1) "alsa-kmp-default" can really help if you've got sound issues (which is true here with all modern notebooks i have seen so far) 2) to find this package among others. we have a great places to begin with: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/drivers:/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/driver:/ even there not all "branches" have an "Update repo" option (look at reiser4 for example and others as well). and my idea goes a bit further. for example we have a great "atl1e" package (which is a must for eeepc1000h) and no doubt that hell of a lot of other drivers (including mentioned ATI/NVIDIA) which are not valid for updated kernels. why not to improve the case? thank you for your attention. regards, sda P.S. <Offtopic> another note. Ubuntu for example distribute the hybrid "Broadcom" driver which is really great for a lot of Users (wl.ko): http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php why can't we do the same? ----- End forwarded message ----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
