2) But as I am not able to see the name of the packages in the search results (unless I use the trick with the URL of the Link) it is still pretty difficult to find a package for the fitting kernel version number like 3.1.9-1.4
I would like to see the information like the name of the file r8168-kmp-desktop-8.027.00_k*3.1.0_1.2-7.1*.x86_64.rpm
How do you like to get this information displayed?
As a mouse pointer over action? As the name of the file is part of the linked URL (for example currently: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/TheTiger/openSUSE_12.1/x86_6... ) this is already the case in a way. And I suspect there is something shortened in the current layout with the "...".
Messing the screen up should be avoided. The layout must stay as simple als possible. As written I would like the layout a switch back to the current layout for the community and home or at least for home repositories.
And why "must" the layout be so simple for community and home repositories if they are so 'dangerous'/"probably not tested by anyone"?
without going the way:
http://software.opensuse.org/package/r8168-kmp-desktop?search_term=r8168 (klick, klick, klick, klick, ...) -> https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=home:TheTiger&package=r8168 -> https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries?package=r8168&project=home%3AThe... -> "... r8168-kmp-desktop-8.027.00_k3.1.0_1.2-7.1.x86_64.rpm ... "
Maybe I am not learned enough to understand that kernel module things and I could use kernel modules build for a 3.1.0_1.2-7.1 openSUSE kernel version also for a kernel with a 3.1.9-1.4 version number but I thought things like that would be important.
As long as the ABI stays stable and bug fixing doesn't require an update the weak update mechanism handle this.
As the result the /lib/modules/3.1.9-*/weak-updates/updates/nvidia.ko sym link points to /lib/modules/3.1.0-1.2-default/updates/nvidia.ko for example in the case you're runnig your system with the default kernel flavour.
Thanks for pointer via link and the citation. So Ralph DeWitt from http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2012-03/msg00676.html and following with and
uname -a Linux linux-x9yw 3.1.9-1.4-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jan 27 08:55:10 UTC 2012 (efb5ff4) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
would probably be able to use the r8168-kmp-desktop-8.027.00_k3.1.0_1.2-7.1.x86_64.rpm as the ABI (here probably: Application binary interface) has not changed from kernel desktop x86_64 3.1.0_1.2-7.1 to kernel desktop x86_64 3.1.9-1.4 if he trusts the work of the user "TheTiger" from https://build.opensuse.org/home?user=TheTiger (and especially the newest package "Updated at: 2012-03-18 18:39:02+01:00"/"...3.1.0_1.2-7.1...")? If so thanks for the clarification and education. Maybe a information/stamp like "version probably fitting to ... ... openSUSE 12.1 updates from 2012-03-17 0:03:02 ..."/ ... current update status..." "up to date.... ...(but not tested)" could be part of "as simple as possible" (and avoid further questions/confusion like cited above and mine)?
