I have never heard of this, nor have ever seen this happen before, do you have an specific examples of packages with this problem? There should not be a need for the updates repo to have a tumbleweed repo, if I've done everything properly. > >So, I was thinking about maybe, when 12.3 changing Tumbleweed from being > >an "add-on" repo on top of the 12.3 repos, to being a "full" distro > >snapshot.

It's not a "need", the Libreoffice packages aren't getting updated, they are just getting rebuilt due to all of the dependancy issues in the distro (touch almost anything, and it will end up rebuilding.) It's just the most visable example of the dependancy logic we have. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
