what about a system which has installed (most of) the media packages from packman? did you archived some results that they maybe will also host some of the fixed repos?
I sent an e-mail to the packman list back in December of 2017 [1], but received no response. For the same reason openSUSE does not host it is not something I can help with. In general, if one is updating to latest or a snapshot release within a week or latest you will typically be fine. It obviously depends on what changes are in TW and you will normally get a bunch of dependency errors from zypper if something like the ffmpeg version was incremented and caused incompatible rebuilds. Basically, if you update successfully with packman and then sit on the snapshot everything works fine except that you may need to update to install new packman packages. Anything from main TW OSS repository can be installed while sitting (assuming not replacing a packman package). So if you are not interested in waiting for feedback on releases and just update to latest and sit for a week nothing should change, except that you can install non-packman packages without any issues regardless of what happens in TW. I would very much like to see matching snapshotted copies of packman which would be relatively trivial and can use the same $snapshotVersion variable in libzypp repository setup. If someone is in a position to do that or has the ear of someone related to packman that would be great. :) [1] http://lists.links2linux.de/pipermail/packman/2017-December/015497.html -- Jimmy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
