No, I have all the NORMAL required repos activated - ie, I do not have any of those OBS repos being maintained by individuals.
From then on, flash-player is marked as "coming from 'Vendor' mm:apps" and will get updated (with a 'zypper up') from there, but no other
Ahem, e.g. multimedia:apps is maintained by a group of people, and is the official devel-repo for flash for Factory! Sooner or later, what you have there, will end up in Factory and the next oS version. DO NOT confuse home:* with the official devel-repos, starting with Base:System... And, case in point, multimedia:apps is providing flash ..442 for all maintained oS versions. When the maintainers of the devel-repo deem an update as fit (or urgent) enough[0], then push it to factory and create an maintainance request/incident for the supported versions (13.{1,2} currently) "requesting" the official update. It takes some time for that. Anyway, you end up with the version from mm:apps as your official update patch for e.g. 13.2. Oh, and BTW: it is easy to "take" just one package from an devel-repo (e.g. flash from mm:apps) and not to use anything else from that repo that the app does not directly depend on and is not available from the distro-repos. You just need to: 1. add the repo with a lower priority (i.e. higher number, say 142) 2. _ONCE_ switch the package manually over to the devel-repo, e.g. by explicitly choosing the mm:apps version in the version-tab of flash-player in yast2 online_update or explicitly specifying the mm:apps version in zypper. package will. You won't see updates in the "Patch" panel in yast2 online_update though, you need to switch to "Installation summary", activate "keep" filter, right click and go to "all in this list -> Update if newer version ...", etc... or just use 'zypper up'. -dnh [0] not that that matters much in the case of flash, as it's basically a binary blob repackaged, you can do a basic "does it work?"-check and then it's either take it or leave it. -- "Der Vorteil von Computern ist, das sie genau das tun, was man ihnen sagt.
