How am I supposed to "know better what I am doing" if there is: - no official (SDB) documentation on priorities (I could add it based on Cristian Vegas forum post: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/how-faq-forums/un...) - no docu on how to use Tumbleweed+Packman in the packman wiki (this is not your problem, I will ask packman to add it) - almost no docu in the community-wiki: http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_formats/Tumbleweed There is no word about setting priorities which is recommended by you and Cristian Vega WHEN using TW+packman - if I understood right. Is it legaly possiple to add a link from en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed to the packman-wiki-page and/or the community-wiki-page explaining TW+packman? Please do not say that you just should not use TW+packman because many bleeding edge users (and most TW users are bleeding edge) just do it rely on packman.
Don't add anything about repo priorities to http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed, why do that, it just confuses people.
I am a user (not a developer) and I am confused because of the lack of documentation of features. You cannot overloock that there are priorities in yast/software-management, so you need to know how to use them best or they should be hidden behind an "expert-button" or so, and even then they need documentation. I admit there are 2 centences about priorities in Yast/repo-management if you click "Help", but they do not tell why one would use priorities or how they are used best in which situation. So: - user was confused about priorities (+TW) - user found help in forum+mailinglist - user wants to give his new knowledge to the community so other users won´t have to dig for the info in forum+mailinglist again
But...as the OS community discusses right now if/how to strengthen Tumbleweed... one way would be, that Packman+TW would be supported BY Packman.
How do you know that it isn't already supported by packman? Last time I checked, it was...
What means support here? As I state above, their wiki-guidance on TW is far from complete... I hope I explained my point of view better this time :D Thanks for your time - Thomas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
