Online_Update only supports patching SuSE blessed packages.
Not at all. It only supports the repository format used in online update, which is different from the other YaST repository format, but you can set your own URL, and there is nothing preventing other people from setting up such repositories
Sigh.
I guess my timing was bad. I wish I'd seen this first, before I contributed misinformation. I'll post a correction as a reply to my incorrect posting in order to minimize the damage.
Well, you were right in that that is how things work right now, since I don't think anyone has published an alternative online update source in public (though I know some companies are using it internally as a means of updating their own packages). Right now the only public online update format repositories that I'm aware of are those that mirror the official suse one - it just doesn't *have to* be that way
