Hello guys.
I have a simple question, but can not find an answer. Manual recommends to use only one repo -- Tumbleweed.
What "manual"?
But we have not enought software there. And because of this we need to have 11.4-oss, 11.4-non-oss and updates repo enabled. As result we have repo hell: packages conflicts and so on.
Huh? No, you should have all of those repos enabled, and tumbleweed as well. That's it, and you should not have any conflicts. If you do, please let me know what they are.
For example, first update with "zypper dup --from Tumbleweed" was completed great. But later, when new packages appeared in Tumbleweed repo, "zypper dup" (as Greg K-H recommends) instead "zypper dup --from Tumbleweed" didn`t update these packages because zypper doesn`t change repository for package by default. And it`s needed to use priorities or --from option again.
I never recommend the "--from Tumbleweed" option. Just always do a simple "zypper dup" and that's all you need. Sometimes, depending on the state of Tumbleweed, packages will move to and from the Tumbleweed repo and the 11.4 repo.
The question is why not to pull _all_ packages from oss-repo and non-oss-repo to tumbleweed repo. Even if the most part of them will be at the same version. This way we can use really single tumbleweed repo.
Because of the size and because we don't need to do this. It also offers a "safe way out" if something goes wrong in Tumbleweed. We can (and do) drop packages from Tumbleweed and they revert back to the original, "safe" version from 11.4. Same for you, if you don't want to use Tumbleweed, just drop that one repo, and everything reverts back to a stable release level.
Also it`ll be great to have tumbleweed-oss and tumbleweed-non-oss to avoid licence issues.
What license issues are you seeing today? What non-oss package do you want in Tumbleweed? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
