Is it also possible to add community repos (e.g. packman) during the installation? This would avoid the repeated confirmation for repository changes for all the affected packages, which can be a lot.
That is not the goal. The feature is more useful for Leap anyways where the update repo may be included during installation already to avoid having to download packages twice. Once the original from the release and then again an updated one. Anways, why does Packman replace lots of packages? I thought it mostly adds supplemental packages?
This is not always possible. For gstreamer, addon packages are used, but e.g. the ffmpeg libraries (libavcoded, libavutil, libavdevice ...) are monolitic and have to be exchanged.
E.g. the vlc-codecs package requires libavcodec<version>(unrestricted), which is only provided by the libavcodec package from packman. When the packman repo is added after some of the ffmpeg libraries have been installed, this leads to a vendor change.
Maybe filter objects, update alternatives or special RPATHs could be used to allow parallel installation of both libs where the unrestricted ones are preferred?
The current conflict resolution dialog is not very user friendly, but quite low level (and it even has an "Expert mode" button on top).
I've filed a feature request for that. Nevertheless users really should never be exposed to those conflict resolutions when using repos that are kind of standard. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
