I understand that in the case of tumbleweed the priorities are a moot point. You are supposed to do a "dup --from tumbleweed", so any package you had installed from packman will be replaced, regardless of the priority packman has.
If you do a plain "dup" without saying "from tumbleweed" then priorities are a concern - but the wiki says not to do it if you have extra repos.
So indeed using packman with tumbleweed is a concern. You have to do a second update run switching multimedia back to packman.
If one is going to do a "second" update last anyway, then giving packman a higher priority (stature) and performing a "dup" would provide the same result. fwiw, I have all priorities the same (untouched) and *always* do a "dup" but always check packages for what I would perceive as *problems*, then utilize locks to procede semi-inteligently. I have quite a few "tumbleweed" repos aside from the main issue besides a few singular packages not "supported" by tumbleweed and have occasionally had problems. Problems that I have are bypassed by going to icewm for a short time and usually "resolve themselves". Accolades to GregKH for his much appreciated efforts and contributions. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
